My May Inspirations - Scrapmatts DT

Hello everyone,

Novita here with you today to share a few projects I have created using some awesome Scrapmatts chipboard pieces and stencils.

The first project I've made is a mixed media layout.

"The Time"
Follow Your Heart & Dream

To create the background I used lots of media products....

First of all I used two different stencils and sponged heavy white gesso and then added some ink on the paper. Once this layer dry I added some random stamping.

For the chipboard, I coloured the pieces with black ink, then added some adhesive before sprinkling some flakes on.

I added some papers layers with tag from my stash and adhered them behind my photo before I started embellishing.

Here are some close up photos....

I used :

Stencil Bricks - A5

Stencil Film Trip - A6

Chipboard Triangles

Assorted Words 15

Scrap Words 32

My second project to share with you is a card!

It's always handy to have a few cards ready for some last minute gift giving.

" HAPPY "

I started cutting papers to make a card and then inked my chosen chipboard pieces with Distress Oxide ink.

I inked the edges of the chipboards to give a dimension - this is easy to do with a juicy ink pad or foam dauber.

While they were drying I started embellishing....

Here's a few close ups.....

I used:

Ornate Frames 23

Assorted Words 28

Happy scrapping xx

Season's Greetings Tag

Hello everyone....

It's me again! Wouw sudah hari terakhir bulan Oktober, waktu berlalu begitu cepatnya dan hanya dua bulan lagi kita sudah merayakan Hari Natal.....

Jadi hari ini saya ingin berbagi dengan anda sebuah karya yang saya buat dan hmmmm ya mengapa tidak? menulis blogger menggunakan bahasa asli dimana saya berasal :)

Salah satu hal favorite yang dilakukan yang sangat saya sukai adalah mewarnai.... Saya menyukai dan mulai melakukan hobby mewarnai ini adalah sejak masih di Taman Kanak-kanak hingga sampai sekarang. Terkadang saya lupa akan waktu ketika sedang mewarnai, waktu berlalu begitu saja dan membuat saya benar-benar merasakan rilex. Ini seperti sebuah terapi yang sangat baik.

Mewarnai adalah salah satu hal dan kegiatan yang tidak akan habis termakan oleh waktu dan usia... akan terus dilakukan sepanjang kita suka...

So Today I want to sharing a tag that I made dengan Stampedous stamps dan dengan menggunakan teknik stamping, colouring, dies cutting dll :)

" Season's Greetings" Tag

Pertama-tama saya stamping gambar burung pada blanding paper dan kemudian mewarnainya dengan copic markers. Setelah mewarnainya saya menggunting gambar burung itu.

Untuk membuat background saya menggunakan Prima watercolour dan memercikkan white gesso yang saya campur dengan air.

Kemudian membuat daun cemara dan dahan dengan dies cutting pada kertas warna hijau dan coklat lalu saya tambahin warna pada pinggiran untuk membuat lebih dimensi dengan menggunakan distress ink warna coklat tua dan hitam.

setelah selesai maka saatnya untuk menempelkan semua pada tag dengan lem dan 3D foam tape untuk memberikan dimensi lalu kemudian menambahkan efek salju pada daun dengan menggunakan snow marker dan glitter glue. Dan juga menaruh gemstones disana-sini...

Some close up photos

Well thats all from me today.

Berharap anda semua menyukai project yang saya buat ini dan dapat pula memberikan sebuah inspirasi untuk membuat kartu atau tag Natal kepada teman-teman dan keluarga anda.

Products yang saya gunakan:

Stampendous rubber stamp

Copic Markers

Prima Watercolour

Distress Ink

Glitter Glue

Snow paste

Gemstone

Mixed Media Layout "Jingle All The Way" - for Guest Designer at the ArtDeco Creations October 2017

Hello everyone,

I am so happy and feeling honoured to have been invited again by Artdeco Creations to be the Guest Designer for the month of October.

When I picked up the package from Artdeco Creations, I thought that Christmas is just around the corner... maybe you are already preparing something nice for Christmas such a presents to give for your family or friends. I am always excited when talking about Christmas and present lol!

So today I would love to share with you a mixed media layout and one extra card that I made that might give you an inspiration to make and gift to someone special on Christmas day.

I created this layout and card using the new and beautiful It's Beginning To look a lot like Christmas collection of co-ordinating papers, dies, stamps, adhesive chipboard and vellum by Tina Higgins.

"JINGLE ALL THE WAY"

I choose this photo of my nephew and nieces, taken last Christmas, they look very happy and can't wait to open their Christmas presents.

I had so much fun creating this layout.
So many beautiful papers in the It's Beginning To look a lot like Christmas collection. I started with picking a few sheets from 12" x 12" patterned paper pad.

Using three different patterned paper for my base layout, I first picked the brown patterned paper (see below photo on far left) then I tore strips from the bottom and top (see middle photo) I trimmed the strip with the holy leaves (as shown in the photo on the right)

Using the photo as a guide, I've then assembled the torn strips, patterned paper and the strip with the holy leaves over the green cardstock.

To designed a background of the layout, I started by sponging the middle of layout quite thinly with gesso - I used Acrylic Gesso from the Anna Griffin Collection. Once the layout was dry, I stamped randomly with the Fractal Snowflakes clear stamp using versamark ink and then put gold embossing powder and heat set to make a textured background.

I created a mist by mixing the Couture Creations Mix and Match pigment - green powder and Acrylic White gesso with water and flicked over my layout with a brush. Once this was dry I added some random stamping with black inkpad using the Joyeaux Noel from Winter Wonderland stamp set.

Next up is fussy cutting hmmm why not? lol...... So I fussy cut all of the poinsenttia flowers from the patterned paper in the It's Beginning To look a lot like Christmas collection pack so that I could layer it underneath my photo.

This particular paper has so many beautiful elements on it.

Now it's time to put your layout together, start by adding some papers under your photo to make more dimension with double sided foam mounting tape.

I adding some die cut flowers from the Vellum Decoupage Sheet..... Ohh they look very beautiful, don't they? and they come already cut so they are very easy to use.... no more fussy cutting!

I also stamped small snowflakes randomly here and there with white ink pad and finished with a small crystal gemstones and then scattered some extra for a touch more bling.

As a finishing touch, with dry brush I applied white gesso in all of the edges of the embellishments and paper to give a softer effect and white glitter.

Here are some close up photos

For the title I've used the "Jingle All the Way" die cut from the It's Beginning To look a lot like Christmas Collection.

And for last project, I've created a mixed media card with the same paper collection as the Layout. With the same techniques of applying stamping and embossed for making a background on the card and also splashed white gesso that has been mixed with water.

"BE MERRY"

Close up photos

Adding Christmas Flourish die underneath the flower and paper then put some crystal gemstones on it.

I used the rest of the paper by rolling them to make a straw embelishment and tied them up together with string and glued it.

Well thats all from me today.

I hope you enjoyed my projects created with the beautiful It's Beginning To look a lot like Christmas collection and will feel motivated to get creative.

Thank you so much for looking and see you next time.

Happy crafting xxx
