Sea layouts by Elena Smoktunova

Hello friends!

Summer is in full swing and many are now resting on the sea, and of course the most relevant topic is the Sea! I made just two pages on the sea theme. But I performed on the instructions of the blog CSI and wonderful chipboard! It's a lot here and I specially left it raw, I thought it would look more successful.

Both projects are made on the palette, but still, each on a marine theme.

As a basis I took the usual white cardboard, but the background I have serves as a spray! Look how beautiful it is!

The second project is also on white cardboard, and the background is also made with sprays.

I used:

CB6061 Shells 01

CB1232 Film Strips 05

CB6062 Shells 02

CB6117 Assorted Words 30

CB6012 Floral Frame 01

Have a nice day!

Close To My Heart Canvas by Novita Ferris

Hello everyone,

Novita here with you today to share a creation for Scrapmatts. This time I have a canvas to share with you all....

"CLOSE TO MY HEART"

For this creation I have used the gorgeous frame chipboard and photo of my lovely sister and I that taken few years ago when I back home to visit my family.

And here are the close ups.....

I used lots of different medium to create my background, including stencilling, stamping and art stones too. I started by coating the canvas area with black gesso. Once the canvas was dried, I used stencil and sponged heavy white gesso and I painted the background with some colours and then I added some random stamping with white ink colour.

As a finishing touch, with my finger I applied random some white gesso and ink colours in all of the edges of the chipboards to give a softer effect.

Well that's all from me today.

I hope you like what I made and will feel motivated to get creative.

I used:

CB1240 Scrap Words 26

CB1241 Scrap Words 27

ST9029 Stencil

Thank you for stopping by and make sure you pop over to have a look the great new chipboards and stencils at the SCRAPMATTS online store.

Until next time,

Happy scrapping xx

Calm and Tranquil

Hello and welcome

Its a gorgeous morning here in Sunny QLD.

I love these cooler mornings and after just spending 10 days in Tassie where most days it only reached 10 degrees, I don't want to hear anyone complain how cold it is here.

After having a quick browse back through all the other Design Team's work I realised we must be hoping these warmer days come back quick as we have all been scrapping seaside pics.

I chose a picture my friend snapped of me when we were out on the boat, love when we get the opportunity to spend the day out on the ocean. I find it so relaxing and peaceful.

In the close ups you can see I've used one of the small Stencils 9003 Circles with some beautiful coloured textured paste. I have also embossed using Lindy's Stamp Gangs embossing powder to give these coral pieces a lift.

On the close up here, you can see I have lightly applied some gesso to the Scrapmatts netting.

Well fellow crafters that is all from this month, I hope you've enjoyed my share and it has inspired you to get creative with your Scrapmatts products. Until next time, bye!!!
