I would like to share some creating I have done and of course I have used some lovely SCRAPMATTS  on my pages!

The first layout is one I created for a previous months C.S.I. Color, Stories, Inspiration  challenge
that Scrapmatts were a sponsor for.. These are fun online challenges and you might win some lovely prizes!!

The challenge was a beachy themed one and I found some fabulous beach themed chipboard for my page and began creating! This was the challenge..
I created a page about a trip to the beach!

some closer views..

Some fabulous stencilling on the back ground and the String Circles!

More String Circles and I cant get enough of the Film Strips either!

A Ships Wheel, layered with a shell that has just been lightly swiped with gesso.. And a little secret, I have cut the Film Strip into two pieces so none was lost under my photo!!

Happiness is here!!

All things Scrapmatts by Danielle Vertigan

Hi its Danni here today,

To say things have been hectic is an understatement.

I've lost track of days and months but on the bright side I've enjoyed an

amazing trip exploring this vast country of ours and due to an

injury I just may have snuck is some scrapping as we went.

 

I've got a bit of a gallery for you today sharing all things Scrapmatts from some of my favourite

layouts.

A flourish can be added to just about anything and boy what a feature do they make

when they are embossed.

Here they are accompanied by the Word Tiles!

These are just one of the most effective little gems.

CB1003 Flourish 04

CB1206 Scrap Words 09

 

 

The CB5102 Window 02 was absolutely perfect to showcase this little man.

I removed the ledge and embossed the frame to welcome Beau.

CB6084 Alphabet Flags 01 I left raw and used them as my title.

 

Who doesn't love string Circles!!

So I've slipped in this piece for a peak.

CB5114 String Circles 01

 

 

I had a lot of fun with this one.

Its amazing what we can do with left over pieces.

Particularly when using sets we can often put pieces aside and forget about them.

There to long. not quite right.....

In this layout I have trimmed some down and separated others to wrap around my layout.

This is a great way to utilise your pieces and maximise there effect.

Here I've used

CB4069 Ornate Frames 26

CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

CB4034 Floral Design 01

 



 

I have a new favourite stencil!

ST5005

Its featured recently in 2 of my layouts and I just wanted to share how

fabulous it is.

I think the best part is how this stencil creates all the embellishment these layouts needed.

 

I hope you can take away some inspiration from this and us it on your next project.

 

 



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...

I would also like to share a layout I created using mixed media also.  I have used a selection of stencils for the back ground. I have used quite a few chipboard pieces too...  I will share some closer views to show some of the details..

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..
