'Count your Rainbows' by Lisa Amiet

Hello!

It's Lisa here today to share a layout I have created. 

I am in love with this month's challenge mood board,

I have created this with these colours in mind.

I have started with a white piece of cardstock for my base. 

I have sealed this with 'Liquitex White Gesso'.

I have then used some of my 

'Dylusions Inks' in 'Postbox Red', 'Lemon Zest' and 

'Squeezed Orange'. 

I have dried this with a heat gun, moving it around as it dries. 

I have also added in a little 'Distress Oxide Spray - Picked Raspberry'.

I have then used my '7 Dots Studio Paint Chips Hatched Stencil' 

and baby wipes to remove a small amount of colour in the stencil areas.   

I have then used the same stencil and 'Finnabair's Light Paste' to stencil onto my page.

I love how the light paste is able to show some of the colour under it. 

I have then added in some stamping, I have used my '7 Dots Studio Hazy Days Clear Stamps' and

'7 Dots Studio Paint Chips Clear Stamps' along with 'Distress Ink Pad - Picked Raspberry'

and my trusty 'Ranger Archival Ink - Black', to stamp randomly over my base page. 

I have then adhered pieces of the '7 Dots Studio Papers - Underpaper' & 'Razzleberry'.

I have also adhered pieces of the 'Paint Chips Element Stickers' 

and the 'Paint Chips Die Cut Elements'.

I have then added some pieces of 'Paint Chips Glaze' paper, 

again layered with some of the 'Paint Chips Element Stickers' 

I have then used some of the 'Embossed Lace Paper - Duchese',

that I have scrunched up and layered 2 pieces, behind my photo matt.

I have used a piece of the 'Paint Chips - Clover' paper to matt my photo. 

I have then added some more of the 'Paint Chips Die Cut Elements' & 'Paint Chips Word Stickers' on my page. 

To finish I have added one of the 'Dyan Reaveley's Dyslusions Creative Dyary Back Chats' stickers and some of the Finnabairs 'Mechanicals Metal Embellishments - Stars',

scattered over my page. 

I hope that you like what I have created and

that you get a chance to play along with the challenge. 

Until next time!

Lisa

'Gypsy Soul' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone, 

Elisa here from the design team with my latest layout for Scrap Matrix featuring loads of goodies from the shop and showcasing the March challenge - Teal and Purple.

I love this colour combination so much, I have used it a few times so I am quite comfortable with it, I know there are a few people out there that freak out at purple... but paired with teal, it's amazing. 

I was inspired by the Mandala, flowers and feathers in the Challenge Graphic and I just love the awesome floral stamp set by Art By Marlene.

If you haven't seen the challenge as yet, I am sharing the link and graphic below in the hope that you will participate this month, the colours and inspiration is amazing !

Here are some close ups - 

I painted the chipboard white and then wrapped some lovely purpley Magenta Sari Silk around the arrow to match the flower colours.

I used a wet on wet technique to add my Inkcredible Ink and Dylusions Ink Spray to my cardstock then I stamped with the stamp set once dry. I then fussy cut my elements out and added white paint using a Posca Paint Pen.

The background was created using a The Crafters Workshop Stencil along with white modelling paste with Ink and Spray over the top.

Then layer all your elements to the left side and balance the page out by using two photos down the right side plus your title. The arrow serves as a focal point to draw your eye to the photos.

Well that's it from me today, I hope you are inspired to give the latest challenge a go!

Hugs

Elisa x
