Some bright fun Cards with Lisa Amiet

Hello Scrap Matrix fans!

It's Lisa here today to share some Tracy Scott lovin' with you.

I have been playing with some awesome stamps designed by, 

our star of the month, Tracy Scott!

So here is the challenge

This is what I came up with :)

I really wanted to feature those awesome stamps on my cards,

so I first started working on the backgrounds.

For my first card, I have used my 'Ranger Blending Tool' and

'Distress Ink' in 'Picked Raspberry'

to blend a circle into the centre of my card. 

(Please excuse the quality of the first couple of photos. 

I had my camera on the wrong setting!)

I have then used 'Distress Ink' in 'Dusty Concord',

to blend the outside of the circle, overlapping them slightly.

I kept alternating colours until I was happy with how much they were blending. 

I have then used the same method for my second card, 

but using 'Distress Ink' in 'Shabby Shutters' for the centre.

For the outside I have used 'Distress Ink' in 'Peacock Feathers'. 

I have then used a variety of stamps to randomly stamp,

 in opposite corners of my cards. 

I have used the '7 Dots Studio Hazy Days', 

and '7 Dots Studio Paint Chips' Clear Stamp Sets, 

with my 'Ranger Archival - Black'

for that bit of grunge ;)

I have also used my 'Art by Marlene Storms Don't Last' 

and 'AALL & Create #3' Stamp Sets.

Next I have stamped out my feature images for my cards using the

'ETS02 Stamp Set by Paper Artsy and Tracy Scott'

in the following 'Distress Inks':

'Mustard Seed', 'Broken China', 'Mowed Lawn', 

'Picked Raspberry' and 'Wilted Violet'.

I have then fussy cut them out to layer onto my cards. 

I have adhered them to my cards, 

layering them and using foam tape for dimension on some of them.

I have also used some 'TH Ideology Rub-ons Numbers',

in the corners of my cards, and I have also used the 'Life Quotes' one for my words, 

on white cardstock. 

 I then cut them out and adhered to my cards with foam tape. 

I love the bright whimsy feel to these cards. 

For some reason I felt that these had to be done in bright vibrant colours. 

I think the combination of blue and green is my favourite!

But I'm still loving this colour combo too!

I hope that you like what I have created!

I had a lot of fun playing along with this month's challenge. 

Tracy's bold stylish designs are fabulous to work with.

Until next time!

Lisa
