It's going to be awesome

A layout and a card.

The card is inspired by Mother's Day

 Leaf Spray Stencil 

Windows 

Assorted Words 24 

Here is my layout.

{Hot X Buns) 

 For something a little different I have used material as part of my background.

  Texture paste, a couple of the Scrapmatts stencils, and also some ink, plus some machine stitching.

 It's fun to try something a little different......using different textures.

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..)

and my layout..

Beautiful Memory..

August Layouts With Christine

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a lovely August so far.  Christine here sharing a couple of layouts with lots of Scrapmatts stencils & chipboards.

Let's start with the first layout:

Scrapmatts Stencils: Leaf Sprays (ST5004); Circles (ST5006); Strings (ST1021); Paint Drips (1009)

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Burnt Cream Scrapwords (CB1238); Butterflies (CB1045)

 I just love scrapping my daughter’s cheeky photos together…they make creating much more inspirational & fun! The title is from the versatile Burnt Cream Scrap Words set, & the Butterflies chipboards are painted white to suit the page.

 

I’ve used the beautiful Scrapmatts Leaf Sprays stencil as a resist pattern which really stands out from the vibrant colors.  Of course, I had to add more stenciling on this page.  Did you spot the Circles, Strings, & Paint Drips?

 

Let's have a look at next layout:

 

 

My daughter from when she started sleeping in her cot, wouldn’t sleep without her teddy bear.  I say thank goodness for the teddy bear, she sleeps well most nights.  Now that she’s nearly 6, she still has it in her bedroom.

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Ornate Frame (CB6011); Hearts Frame (CB4005); Butterflies (CB1045); Stars String Circles (CB5138); Black Scrap Words (CB1237)

 

Scrapmatts Stencils: Cobblestones (ST5014); Circles (ST5006)

 

 

I’ve embossed the frame white, & I love how it frames her sweet picture.  They look so peaceful & heavenly when they’re asleep, quiet & behaved like that, eh? :)  I’ve inked the butterflies & stars chipboards white to match the white shades of the frame & the layout.  I’ve also applied some good ol’ texture paste through Cobblestones Stencil, & some color through the Circles Stencil.

 

I had fun creating these layouts, playing with awesome Scrapmatts stencils & chipboards.  I can't wait to see what new designs Sofie & Andrew come up with.  Check out the variety of Scrapmatts goodies here.

 

Thanks for stopping by, & stay tuned for more inspiration from the team :).

 

Cheers,

 

 





Happiness Layout

Hello everyone, Christine here posting for Scrapmatts.  I'm enjoying playing with my Scrapmatts chipboards & stencils, & today I get to share with you a layout inspired by & titled happiness.

Scrapmatts Materials: Stars String Circles; Film Strips; Black Scrap Words; Assorted Words; Stencils (Leaf Sprays, Circles, Cobblestones)

I've coated the Stars Circle String (always works a treat in framing photos) with gesso & every so lightly added some fine pink glitter on some parts.  The Film Strip is inked gold & the Scrap Word is inked pink.  The stencils are used different ways to further enhance the photo.

 

Sisters equals happiness indeed! I hope you enjoyed my post today & don't forget to check out the Scrapmatts shop here.

Until then,
