Picture Perfect - October Inspiration

Picture Perfect

Here was my take on the challenge. I just loved this colour, its one of my favourites.
This was the beautiful colour that was to be used for the white with 1 challenge.

Soul Pea

Something Old is New by Danielle Vertigan

When you come full circle it can be a beautiful thing......
Every Crafters will have had that moment when you look at your project and its just not happening.
Its not coming together...
It can be both challenging and heartbreaking!
You've spent so much time on it...
Used so much product on it...
No matter which way you turn it, its not coming together?
Then the dilemma????
WHAT DO YOU DO????
ME???? I'm a hoarder. I struggle to throw anything out when I craft.
The tiniest scrap could be something???
Couldn't it?



 

So I started with an Arch Window Frame 07 CB4038

Its a piece of loved but to beautiful to use!!

We all know that feeling, It has to be just right.

 

 

So I opened my bag of goodies and started to flick....

Stencil, Cardstock... What do I want?

And there it was....

This background was once a source of pain.

I had stamped through a stencil. Water Coloured it.

Layered patterned paper, Applied texture paste, Spritzed it and more water colour.

It wasn't happening.

I gesso'd over the top still not happening and finally packed it away!

Its been that way a long, long time never to be thought of again.

Today I have come full circle.....

 

 

I turned it. Layered my frame on it and immediately knew what photos I wanted!

I love that with the frames it doesn't have to be all photos, the texture from the hessian is perfect.

some circles with my tape rolls as guides. Perfect, simple and easy.

 

 

Then to layer.

 I think by far my favourite pieces at the moment is anything nature inspired.

Here I've used

CB5165 Lavender 01

CB5166 Leaf Spray 15

I've kept it simple with chalk ink and I couldn't be happier with the results.

 

The feathers add a soft touch
Today I'm working with CB5116 Feathers 01 in White mist.
I have also chosen to leave them be, they are just perfect as they are.

 

Don't be afraid to layer the inks and add another dimension.

 

My next Share is Bright, Pink and Pretty

Plus who doesn't love string circles

CB5114 String Circles 01

Here I have inked them in white and then used a silver embossing powder.

 

 

 

I love the confetti look of this stencil.

Its quickly becoming a favourite....

ST1028

 

 

I've also added detail by using a White gel pen over my Colour Blast Colour Paste.

 

 

These Butterflies are Gorgeous and come with a bundle on the sheet for you to play with

CB4010 Butterflies 03

I've layered the 3 sizes and coloured them using Shimmer Pots.

They look stunning and really pop off the page.

 

 

I twist of shabby, a touch of ink, some stamping and journaling...

and I think we are there!

September Good Bye from Amy

Hi Scrapmatt Crafty Friends,

Amy here again with some designs using our favourite chipboard and stencils.

This month I have used the CB5035

And ST5031

Here is Fly My Son

Materials - Scrapmatts, Colour Blast, Fancy Pants Designs, Cutfile by Loni Stevens

I've used Colourblast paste and sponged white gesso over the cop of the chipboard.

I also wanted to show you this month what I did with CB6109 Lamps. Now these I loved

Here is my 'You are the Light of My Life' layout

 Here I have colour the chains and the shade of the lamps with Black Perlen Pen and left the remaining raw.

Then is was just a matter of embellishing around the layout

I hope you enjoy my layout. I really love this photo of my rugrats. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time creating for Scrapmatts and hope you have been inspired by my little crafty moments.
