July Creations with Tania

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share my July Scrapmatts projects with you all!!

First up this month I have a Heart canvas to share...... I had so much fun getting messy making this canvas and love how the colours turned out!

I used the Bricks stencil to add texture to the background.  Then I got messy adding lots of colour using an assortment of colouring mediums.  Once I was happy with the colours I began to add my embellishments.  I altered my chipboard pieces with some new Dylusions Shimmer sprays. Added some paper straws and then my photos.  I finished off the canvas with lots of yummy blooms.......

Here's a few close ups.....

My second share for today is a layout.  I had a little fun playing on snapchat recently so I decided to scrap one of those photos lol!

I added lots of torn layered edges on this page and then used the Paint Drips Stencil on the background.  I added a photo and created a couple of flower clusters either side of it and then tucked in the gorgeous page borders on either side keeping them in the white finish.

Sometimes when you have a great photo, it's important to let it be the star of the layout and not over clutter the layout with embellishments or layers. I find Scrapmatts chipboard is the perfect finishing touch for these kinds of layouts, subtle yet effective. It's also nice sometimes to create a simple layout that doesn't take ages.

I have used the stencil ST9008-A5 to apply some white gesso over parts of the background, then covered the same areas with sections of CB5126 Diamond Mesh 02. Lastly, I've used CB1155 Ferns 01 to frame my title. 

Scrapmatts is sponsoring the current challenge over at CSI: Color, Stories and Inspiration. The case file is below. I've used leaves, a heart, wood/woodgrain and vellum from the evidence and my journaling is inspired by the words 'outside' and 'calm'.

I created my second project whilst on a retreat last month. It was so good to get away and focus on nothing but relaxing and crafting for a whole weekend!

These flowing script words from CB6117 Assorted Words 30 make perfect titles. I've coloured mine using two layers of Versacolor inks to match the background cardstock. I've coloured a medium sized butterfly from CB4008 Butterflies 01 with liquid pearls to add texture and shine.

You can see the largest circle from the CB5139 String Circles 03 set in these close ups, which I've cut in half to use in two spots. This has been inked too, then some pearls glued as accents on all the dots. You can also see a small tab covered in washi tape from CB5117 Tabs 01 and a smaller butterfly from the same set. 

Thanks for looking!

My second layout for this month was created while I was away on a scrapbooking retreat. It was for a challenge and came with one piece of cardstock and one piece of patterned paper, of which you had to use at least 70%. I think Scrapmatts chipboard is the perfect embellishment for any layout so I've snuck lots in here.

My May Creating!

Hello there, I hope this month of May has started well for you! And for all the Mums out there, I hope you get something special for Mothers day too..

I have a couple of creations I would like to share with you..  The first one is a card that I have embellished with  some lovely SCRAPMATTS chipboard.

Celebrate.

 I did some paper pleating across the front of the card and placed a lovely Card Border 02 which I embossed in white on top of the pleats to hold the pleats in place.. I also embossed the Flowers 03 in pink and put a fabulous sparkly gem in the centre of each one..  And for the Sentiment I used the word Celebrate from the  Scrap Words 24.

Here are the products and a link to the shop.

This close up shows the stencilling on the back ground using the Stencil Hearts , and the chipboard  Diamond Mesh 02 .

 You can also see the String Circles 03 which I have placed under my photo.. I actually cut it in half to use it in two places under my photo...

You can see some more stencilling on the back ground using the Stencil Leaf Sprays which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! I have also used some gorgeous Flowers 12 which I have painted using water colors ( paint with gesso first as a prima for the color..)
