Summer Scrapping and Card Making

I can almost taste summer in the air now! 

Here in Australia the weather is warming up and we are coming out of the wettest winter I can remember. Every time I sit down now to scrapbook or make cards, I must confess I just have summer on my mind lol 😊 

So here are the projects I'm sharing this month - 

all bright and reminiscent of warmer weather and long lazy summer days 💛

 💛 This Moment

Created with papers from Bee Arty's Limited Edition collection and 

Scrapmatts Chipboards, Stencils, titles and Bling.

I have coloured this title (CT058) with a black sharpie and a yellow distress marker 

These Scrap Words 21(CB 6103) can be easily added to any layout, bringing context and meaning without the worry of having to add actual journaling.

This awesome Webbing Stencil (ST5029) creates a gorgeous effect on the page.

.   

The trick is to put the stencil on the page and build up lines using ink that is a similar colour to your base paper (in this case it was blue) after that add a darker colour over the top that runs to the edge so that you achieve a striking transition of the stencil image.

  

This Diamond Mesh 02 (CB5126) & 03 (CB5127) chipboard was the perfect shade to begin with so I left it alone for this layout 👍

💙 Forever Friends 💙

To include a touch of movement to this layout I added these gorgeous Flourishes and Leaves Chipboards (CB5189), that I painted in blue and hit with Crystalina Kindy Glitz.

This layout also includes the following hero products: 

Chipboard Title 'Forever Friends'  - CT051

Another cute Scrap Word addition - CB6112

The addition of that marvellous and versatile little Heart Stencil - ST9050

🧡 Unicorn Step-card 🧡

Of course you cannot go wrong with the addition of clusters of bling on any project!

 For this card I used 4 & 5 mm Peal and Stick Bling

  

I also added extra action with the ST9071 - A5 Circles Stencil

And of course a chippy from one of my favourite 

scrap word title sets: CB1270 - Scrap Words 5

Are you scrapping summer yet?? ... surely it wont be long? 😜

Thanks for popping in for look. 

Cheers from Kel 💚

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.

I would like to share with you a layout using some pretty papers and lovely chipboard colored by using water colors or gesso.

some closer views..

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..)
