My second share for this month is a couple of cards.

I broke out the alcohol inks again this month to create the backgrounds for the two cards.  I have so much fun playing with them.

I have also used the Scrapmatts Corrugated Sheets in the circles on these cards.

July Creating with Helen - Memories, Hello and three ATC's

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a layout which I created for the Kraft+ July challenge.

I've used Fussy cut roses, a background of roses, a rose stencil and the stunning 

Scrapmatts rose chipboard.

I used acrylic paints on the gorgeous String circles Roses  and layered them up with

 pretty papers are from Kaisercraft, the High Tea collection. 

The fussy cut roses are from "Devonshire"

The stencil is by Tim Holtz THS075. 

The background paper is "Tea leaves"

The little title I just swiped with watercolour ink.

CB4070 String Circles 06 Roses

Next I'm sharing a layout which was a combined Scrapmatts/CSI challenge.
Scrapmatts is kindly sponsoring CSI again this month.

 I wet embossed the gorgeous frame to highlight my photo.  

The little wooden stars were added for one of the evidence clues. 

The butterfly was given a water colour wash; another of the evidence clues.

The script word was heavily embossed with UTEE and the chipboard held up perfectly.

or to dress up the front of  a 6" x 4" card.

September creating with Lizzy.

Hello there, I hope your day is going well!

I would like to share two layouts I have created using some wonderful SCRAPMATTS products which I will list with a link to the SCRAPMATTS ONLINE STORE.

The first layout is a beachy one. I just love going to the beach and usually take lots of photos which I need to scrap. The photo I have used on my layout is of my daughter exploring the rocks and I have cut it into three for something different.  I have used some lovely SCRAPMATTS chipboard shells which I have left raw..

For some added interest I have also used the fabulous RETRO SQUARES 01 and also some GRASS to the sides of my photos. And my title came from the SCRAPWORDS 24,  I also did a little line of stencilling using the TILE STENCIL along the top of my page... and my layout..

On my second layout that I would like to share with you, I have used some beautiful chipboard and some stencils. I have used the stencils two ways, one way is to use texture paste, and the second way is to just lay your stencil down on your layout and lightly spray with mist.
You can see the two ways I have used the stencils in this close up view of my page.

I have painted my beautiful chipboard with black gesso to make them stand out. I have also used drops of purple kindy glitz to add some sparkle..  And my layout..

Exquisite Beauty.

I will list all the Scrapmatts products I have used on my layout.. I hope you can see them all!
