Welcome back to the Scrap Matrix challenge this month
where we have a gorgeous mood board to inspire you.
The challenge is open to scrap layouts, cards, art journalling, OTP, anything you like really, as long as you use these colours and at least one product from the Scrap Matrix shop.
Easy Peasy!
I decided to make a few cards using lots of mixed media. I love getting messy and not knowing if my plan will work or not.
It's fun to just play.
I began with a 6" x 6" piece of heavy white card stock.
It's a bit hard to see here, but using a small sponge,
I randomly applied some Finnabair heavy white gesso through two different stencils. Then I dried it thoroughly with a heat tool.
The larger flower texture is from TCW Tuscan Floral stencil, not currently in stock, but this one, Paper Artsy PS005 would work just as well.
The smaller bits were made with one of my favourite stencils, Carabelle for the love of layers. It's so versatile.
It's not in stock right now, but I'm sure it can be ordered.
Using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks, I mixed various colours on my craft mat before smooshing on with a Tim Holtz mini circle tool.
I used Peacock Feathers, Broken China, & Salty Ocean for the Teal & Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet & Seedless Preserves for the purple.
For added intensity, I also dabbed on some Paper Artsy Acrylic paints, Lavender and Caribbean Sea.
A close up showing some white pen work, a title and some bling from my stash.
The dark stencil work is made with Tim Holtz THSO70.
There are lots of Tim's stencils in the store.
The stamp on this card is made by using just the middle of a Paper Artsy Stamp, ETS16.
This Paper Artsy ETS20, stamp would get a similar result.
This floral stencil is from Tim Holtz THS705.
To finish this one off, I used a Happy Birthday stamp and a die from my stash.
The stencil I used for the flowers is from Paper Artsy 085
These word stickers are from the same Pink Fresh pack.

I'm showing a couple of different cards throughout. This one demonstrates the next layer which is to add some darker ink through a different stencil, Tim Holtz Dot Fade.
This Honeycomb one would work well too.
The floral stencil is from Tim Holtz THS705
Another layer, this time some stamping with Black archival ink and a bit of gold pen work.
The stamp is from Carabelle, Bulles d'eau.
Paper Artsy has a similar one.
The small images in this one, Ginko would work beautifully too.

For this any occasion card, I used some words from Pink Fresh Studio, "Escape the Ordinary".
Vicki has heaps of phrase stickers to choose from,
this one from 13@rts would work well too.
These word stickers are from the same Pink Fresh pack.
