Mixed Media Layout - Scrapmatts DT

Hello my dear crafty friends, 

Here we are in June and this is the last week of this month.... wowww time flies by! I hope you are getting some creative time in each day! 

I have been having a lot of fun  with mixed media, so today I would love to share a mixed media layout that I made and hope I will inspire you to create a masculine layout too. 

Here is my mixed media layout..... 

I created a mixed media background using  some texture paste with Scrapmatts stencil and then with a wet brush I painted randomly with Lindys Stamps Gang ink sprays. Once this background dried I've added some stamps here and there. 

Here are some close up photos....

Some chipboards I inked with Jet Black Archival Ink pad and when the chipboard cogs were dry I added a bit of pigment ink "Cosmic copper" and "Galaxy gold" on top to give the effect of rust marks. 

While they were drying I started embellishing my layout until I was happy with the finished page.

Well thats all from me today....

I hope you like what I made and will feel motivated to get creative.

I used 

Stencil Gears - ST9068 - A5

Retro Square 02 - CB5142

Chevron 01 - CB5106

Gears 02 - CB1073

Gears 05 - CB1078

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
