LOVE & LAUGH BUTTERFLY CANVAS

                          LOVE & LAUGH BUTTERFLY CANVAS

Good Morning Followers. Jodie here with  my DT post for June.
This is my love & laugh butterfly canvas.

It features lots of amazing chipboard from Scrapmatts.

To start the canvas, I have used this beautiful tissue paper that I recently purchased at the Perth Craft Fair. 

I love the Parisian look.

Base of canvas using tissue paper.

 I used clear gesso to apply the tissue paper and to seal it.

To create the washed out effect, I diluted dylusions paint and painted the wash over the tissue paper.

The collage stamp is from Darkroom Door and the postcard is from a Kaisercraft collection and stamped with pinecone ink.

This butterfly is from the CB1015 Butterflies Chipboard.

The Hexagon chipboard CB5122 is coloured with the gold ink.

I have embossed it with Stampendous Aged Marine Embossing Powder.

The feathers charms are from Toko Central in Bali.

 This gorgeous little leaves are from the CB5177 Wildflowers.

I have inked with the Brilliance Gold Ink Pad

Flowers are from 49 and Market.

This cute love, laugh and hearts are from the CB6117 Assorted Words Chipboard.

I have embossed with Gold embossing powder.

To finish off the canvas I added some cheesecloth and black sewing twine.

Some pearl bling for the butterfly centres and coloured with Caramel Alcohol Ink Marker.

Finished canvas.

A Farewell Post by Christine

Hello lovely Scrapmatts followers.  Before I get hitched in two days time, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Sofie for my time here with the Scrapmatts team.  This will be my last Scrapmatts post and I had thouroughly enjoyed creating with all of the gorgeous range of Scrapmatts chipboards and stencils.

I have saved the best for last with three different projects.  First up is a layout:

Scrapmatts Chipboard: CB4071 String Circles 07

Scrapmatts Stencils: ST1038 Square, ST5001 Bubbles

This is one of my all time favourite photo of my girls, niece and nephew.  The largest piece of the String Circles chipboard set perfectly frames and features the photo.  For the background, I used the Grid and Bubbles stencils.

Second is a mixed media canvas:

Scrapmatts Chipbord: CB4070 String Circles 06 Roses

Scrapmatts Stencil: 9007 Circles A4

I stenciled some texture paste through the canvas for the background and framed the cluster with the gorgeous Rose String Circles chipboard.

Last but not the least is an off the page project which I specifically created for my wedding:

Scrapmatts Stencil: ST5022 Tile Pattern

This is a beer box which I turned to a wishing well.  I couldn't find any wishing well that suits my taste and so I made one especially for the special day...only two more days to go!  All this needed was a touch of Scrapmatts stenciling and voila!

A massive thanks again to Sofie...for believeing in my work and for making me a part of this lovely team.  I would also like to thank everyone who have left lovely comments on the blog, I appreciate every single one of them.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Scrapmatts' team inspirations.

Cheers,

Hello.........

Hello there!

My name is Tania Ridgwell and welcome to my first post as part of the Scrapmatts Design Team.

I am super excited to be part of the design team and can't wait to share my creations with you 

 showcasing the gorgeous goodies from Scrapmatts.

I would like to thank 

 Sofie & Andrew for giving me this opportunity to share my creations and work with their fabulous products.

My first project I would like to share with you is my Design Team Canvas.

I created the background for my canvas using the gorgeous Damask Stencil and some Dylusions sprays......  

I also used some of the new chipboard from the Wildflowers range and added a piece of the chipboard Chains here and there.........

CB5176 Wildflowers 03

CB5177 Wildflowers 04

 ST9027 Stencil Damask

CB1229 Chains 02

CB6103 Scrap Words 21 

The other project/s I have to share is a couple of cards featuring two of the Scrapmatts Ornate Frames.

On the first card I used Ornate frame 03, I just loved this one and the gorgeous detail.  I altered it by using a little frosty glitter shimmer paste on it, gives it a bit of sparkle don't you think?

CB5002 Ornate Frame 03

Second card...

Again I used another frame this card the Ornate Frame 10, I altered this frame by adding Lilac glitter paste, it just gave it a slight tinge of colour and then added some raw chipboard flourishes to the flower clusters on my card.

CB1003 Flourishes 04

Well that's all from me today, I do hope I have inspired you all a little.  I look forward to sharing more of my creations over the coming months.......

 Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx

Time is Pressing - with Rikki Graziani

 Good Morning how are you all?  Rikki here and no doubt insanely busy as the festive season is nearly here. The kids are getting excited and we are enjoying the  start of the holidays. Hence my inspiration for my first share - Time is pressing........

I have to say I am very happy with the results of this canvas, and whats not to love ? 

CB5111 Layered Fob Watch 02

Now for my second piece, I was very lucky this year to demo for Scrapmatts when they visited us in Perth, where I got to play with Tim Holtz Oxcides..... ohhh how I loved playing with them for the three day that I had to just get a set for me....

When inking through a stencil rather than wipe the ink away why dont you mist it with some water and use it as a stamp to get the negative image.
