October Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! Here we are in October and I am popping in to share what I have created this month for Scrapmatts!

I have a Card and Layout to share with you. 

The card I have created has one of my favorite frames as centerpiece..  I have left it in its raw state.. 

A closer view..

 

The leaves I have shaded  with glitter gel pens until I was happy with the colors. 

 

A simple but pretty card and easy to post as it is quite flat too..  I will pop this into my card collection for an upcoming Birthday ready to send!!

And here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used on my card..

CB5166 Leaf Spray 15

The layout I have created uses the bigger frame from the Ornate Frame pack and I just patted the frame lightly with a white stamp pad to lighten it a little..

some closer views..

 

I have used some lace and layered the Floral Spray over that and popped a fussy cut rose from the papers on that. The Scrap Words are always handy to have in your stash to pop on your page.

 

A touch of stencilling on the back ground to add some interest.. and some liquid pearls on the Floral Spray to add some dimension to the Chipboard.

 

My Layout..

July Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there! How is your day going? Great I hope!! and I hope the cooler weather means more inside crafting time!!!

I have a layout and two cards I would like to share with you today!

The layout is a page I created using a photo of my Grand daughter when she was only a few days old.. I could probably scrap this photo a million times I love it so much!! I will share some closer views and then my layout..

 

I usually look at the back ground paper and see if I can add anything to it, and for this layout I decided to add a few sweet butterflies and flowers with a stencil using a pink ink pad and dauber.

This sweet baby carriage was also just patted with a pink ink pad for a soft color that did not cover any of the chipboard details.. 

 

The bow was colored the same way as the carriage.. and the flourishes were painted white..

 

I used a little strip of lace under my photo to add some softness and a feminine touch!

Moments..

I framed my photo with the delicate and beautiful Ornate Frame and I used two ink pads of differing pinks to add a slightly darker pink around the outside of the frame..I like how it turned out!!

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used on my layout..

I was feeling a bit creative and thought I would try and make a step card using the Step Card Template.  I also used the Montage Creations which make things so easy..It was a matter of cutting out the template and folding along the lines and lining the card base and then embellishing it..

This is the base cut out and folded as per instructions on the template.. and then it was time to cover the card and add embellishments..

 

This is the Montage Creation I used and it also is as easy as cutting out the picture and side and bottom strips and gluing onto the card base..

And here is my card.. 

And a closer look at the Scrapmatts Chipboard I used for embellishment..

Then I thought I would create a feminine card using the same method..

And this is my second card..

 

and a closer look at the beautiful rose chipboard..

I colored the rose chipboard with a gel pen..

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used for my cards..
