'Create the World you want' by Elisa Ablett for Scrap Matrix

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team for Scrap Matrix with my latest layout based on the new Challenge for this month - What's the Point ? all about pointy things on your layouts this month.

This is my second layout this month using the Stamperia Blue Stars paper pack and Primary Elements Mica Powder as my main products.

My layout features Stars as my pointy feature.

Make sure you have a look at the website for the gorgeous stamp set #12 by Tracy Evans for Aall & Create, I utilised the star stamps from the set for my layout. 

Here are some close ups of the finer details - 

Start your background by adding modelling paste through your star stencil.

Then add your black water colour ink from 13 Arts plus layers of Gold Mica Powder and little bits of ochre or light brown.

A small pocket of the same in the top left hand corner. Black Ink and blue and brown splatters.

Wire makes a fabulous addition to a background, twisted around the stars (which i stamped and fussy cut out) I then foam mounted the stars.

Here are a few of the products I used from the Scrap Matrix Store -

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team for Scrap Matrix with my latest layout based on the current April Challenge - a double moodboard (Monochromatic and pick a line from the Tic Tac Toe Board).

I chose to do a mixed media layout using shades of Turquoise AND stamps, a large title and German Scrap from the Scrap Matrix Store. Now if you know me I LOVE turquoise, teal and blue on my layouts, there are a lot of different mediums in the store - Sprays, inks, crayons etc. I used a combination of two 13 arts products including Ayeeda Water Ink and Turquoise Chalk spray

Here is the challenge link in the group, head on over to have a look and please place your entries, we love seeing your work!

Scrap Matrix Shares Group - Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Here is my layout - 

As you can see the title is huge! it is fussy cut from the Pink Fresh Boys Fort paper (bold) collection and high lighted by a white gel pen. I also fussy cut some of the triangles from the Boys Fort (thumbs up) paper. 

 Here are some close ups -

'Spread your Wings' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters!

Elisa here with my latest project for Scrap Matrix, a mixed media canvas featuring all sorts of goodies including 7 Dots, 13 Arts and Scrap Matrix metal and embellishments.

Here is a peek at a few of the products 

Here is my project - 

Let me show you how I created this canvas!

Step 1 - Gesso your canvas and let dry, glue down your Paper Lace - German Scraps and lightly gesso over the top

Step 2 - Using a 13 Arts Stencil and white modelling paste and palette knife, add some texture to your canvas over the top of your lace.

Step 3 - Wait until the modelling paste has dried and then glue down your 7 Dots studio - Dreamscapes die cut elements and chipboard

Step 4 - Add your colour to your canvas, I used a combination of 13 Arts Rainbow Colour in Brown and Yellow Amber, Ayeeda Water Inks, Ayeeda Chalk Mists and Ayeeda Splash Inks in Gold. I started adding colour from the inside of the canvas along with sprays of water and then tipped the canvas to create the drips, I like to dry my layers of colour inbetween. I also splattered Gold Ink in places over the colour.

Step 5 - Add Ayeeda 13 Arts Light Gold Mica Flakes with gel medium that drys clear and some more splats of gold.

Step 6 - Gesso your Scrap Matrix Metal with 13 Arts Primer. Then once dry add colour to your metal using the 13 Arts Rainbow Colour, Inks and paint. Making sure it is distressed by dabbing away some of your colour with a baby wipe

Step 7 - Glue your metal embellishments on the canvas and tie down your twine in a cross pattern. I also used glass dots to add more texture and flicked white 13 Arts ink onto the canvas.

Finish off your canvas by gluing down the last of your embellishments and adding your title over the top of the twine.

Here are some close ups of the finer details - 

That's it from me today! I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial step by step and my project.

Hugs
