In case you don't know there are some absolutely gorgeous new Scrap Matrix products in the shop at the moment. I went for a bit of a shopping spree recently and when I saw the absolutely divine 7 Dots Studio Garden Party Range I just couldn't wait to play with it.
This is what I created:
First I started on the background. I used the AALL #16 stencil and added some texture paste to the background. Next, I added some purple ink and then rubbed some Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Vintage Gold over the raised bits. I also did some stamping with the Garden Party Stamp Set.
I then decided to add a bit more texture, and a few more images from that gorgeous stamp so I got a blank piece of tissue paper and stamped some more images onto it - like this:
Next, I carefully tore around the images and adhered to my page using matte medium. I love adding stamped images this way, the tissue paper gives the stamped image a bit of texture and the matte medium dries clear so all your see is the image and the texture of the paper.
Once my background was finished I put some muslin down under where I wanted my Picture to go, and then backed my picture with a piece of Garden Party - Annual and some tags from the 12 x 12 Tag Sheet. I added my photo to the background and then started embellishing with some fussy cut flowers from the Garden Party Dreamy paper, some stickers from the 6 x 12 word sticker sheet and some flowers from my stash. I used a word from the 12 x 12 Arias Story Chipboard Words sheet, which I painted in purple ink and some gold paint.
Here are some close ups, you can see some of the stamped tissue paper images poking out from under my embellishments, so I hope you can see what I mean about that little bit of added texture.
Well, that's it from me today. I hope you have been inspired to get yourself some of the gorgeous 7 Dots Garden Party range.
