Family Affair by: Rhonda

Yep, I'm back again with some more delights

for you all and this time it is the usual two creations

jam-packed with some awesome

Scrapmatts chipboards & stencils.

The first is a canvas that features one of my

life's loves in that of my Son and the other is a layout

featuring another love being my Daughter (with her partner).

Live Life

& Make The Most Of Today

On the blank canvas I used ST1002 Diamonds as well as

ST5033 Triangles and ST1024 Gears on the

front and side to give a bit of texture.

On these I sprayed colours to enhance the stencilling.

Next I layered hessian, paper & corrugated cardboard (all

of earthy colours) to match the design I was

looking for as a background for the photo.

Added to these background components I also

applied colours like I did with the canvas

Under the photo & backing I placed CB1232 Film Strip 05 with

CB2006 Page Border 05 at the bottom and a

piece of that same border at the top alongside

a hand crafted barbed wire.

The rounded arrowheads of CB5140 String Circles 04

wasn't big enough for what I wanted so I adapted two.

CB5132 Chains 01 was round but I stretched it

into an oval to highlight the subject.

I am never at a loss with the massive selection Scrapmatts

offer when it comes to matching Scrap Words with

my creations and on this occasion CB6112 Scrap Words 31

was where my search ended for the canvas title...

You & Me

The base of this one starts like many layouts with a

piece of patterned paper over cardstock.

The purpose of placing the bulk of the work to the

lower section was to create space for the lamp

and for it to look like it was illuminating the image.

Scrapmatts Frame 02 CB4007 was the perfect match

for the picture I had chosen and the sheer size of it

meant it was going to be the main focus point.

Behind this I placed a bit of coloured gauze and

littered the page with an accompaniment of

flowers and embellishments.

A little depth was added to the photo by placing a

small scrap of cardboard behind it.

This close up gives an idea of how the gauze was

layered and how well it worked and

softened the edge of the stencils

ST1032 Plus Signs & ST 1037 Bling

A very much appropriate CB6105 Assorted Words 23,

married well with the overall look & theme

Without these two large flowers the layout was looking

bare & unfinished and I was pleased with

the fullness they afforded.
