June Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there! My goodness how are we in June already?? I hope this finds you well and enjoying your day!!

I have a layout and a couple of cards to share with you today..I hope you are inspired to get your Scrapmatts out and have some creative time!

I have used a cute photo of my Grandie on my page today and so you can expect flowers and some pink!!

I will start with some closer views..

She certainly does brighten up my day so this was perfect for my layout! I have added some texture to my back ground with the Stencil Circles which I did after adding some sprays of mist.

I have used the Hanging Jewell's chipboard which I cut into various pieces and painted them yellow and added some flower bling pieces to the circles..

I even used the frame that was around the chipboard on my layout and I inked that with a brown ink pad..

A corner feature using two hanging Jewell pieces..

and my layout..

Lots of fussy cut flowers mixed in with the hanging Jewell chipboard...

Here is a list of the Scrapmatts that I have used on my layout..

And I have two cards I would like to share with you.. I used the flower frames from the Montage Creations for the back ground.

I layered them and placed them on my card front.. easy!!
Then it was a matter of decorating the cards and adding a sentiment..

I have used a Signboard chipboard painted white and added a puffy flower some leaves and a sentiment!

I have used a small Ornate Frame and a Sentiment and popped a few flowers in matching color..
All done!!

and the Scrapmatts I have used on the cards..

Mixed Media with Scrapmatts!

Hello there! Here we are in June!! The year is flying by! I hope you are getting some creative time!!

I have been having a bit of fun with mixed media which is simply using a variety of media to create art.. or in our case, our scrapbooking!!

I got a scrap piece of paper and began to use some modelling paste and some fabulous stencils..

Then I covered the whole piece of paper with gesso.. This makes the paper able to hold the wet mediums which I used next..

When that was completely dry I sprayed it with mist..

When that was completely dry I mat this on some black cardstock and then mat that onto my card face..
I added some more stencilling, some mesh, some old die cuts left over from another project, my chipboard pieces which were painted in black gesso , added some flowers and I created a fabulous card!!

These are the Scrapmatts products I have used for my card...

ST1032 Stencil Plus Signs

I can never have enough of the cogs, just love them!! Painted with brown paint and dabbed with gesso..
I have used the 3 sizes of the Hexagon stencil on the back ground..
