'Home' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some more challenge inspo with you..

Our challenge this month is all about 

HOME.

Check out those gorgeous pieces of artwork by some fabulous artists!

Mine is a bit different to the style of these but the theme remains the same.

I have created an art journal page,

with a quote about home, that I love. 

I have started by adding some of the 'Tim Holtz Rub Ons - Numbers',

onto my page. I have then added some colour using my

'Lindys Spray - Clam Bake Beige' for some aged colour.

Then I have added some more Lindy's Sprays in

'Shabby Turbine Teal' and 'Tibetan Poppy Teal',

 for some more colour.

I have added some stamping using my

'Blue Fern - Grungy Grid Stamp', and

'AAll & Create #3 Stamp'

I have added elements cut from the '7Dots Studio Fortune Teller Tarot Paper', 

& 'Fortune Teller Die Cut Elements',

along with some layers from

 Tim Holtz Ephemera Packs, 'Expedition' & 'Thrift Shop' 

Some of the elements layered,

 with one of the 'Tim Holtz Accoutrements Classic'

I have also used the 'Art by Marlene Storms Don't Last Stamps'.

One of the 'Flower Metals' layered with one of the 'Finnabair Mechanicals Star'

Some more rub ons added.

I have also used some of the 'Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers' across my page. 

More close ups :)

I love how this page turned out. 

I hope that you like it too and that you get chance to play along this month,

there's still time :)

Until next time!

Lisa

It's the pointy end with Helen

Welcome back to the Scrap Matrix challenge where this month

the challenge is "The point is."

Here is a vibrant mood board to inspire your creativity 
and why not check out the fantastic projects by the 
rest of the SCRAP MATRIX team?

I was inspired by the triangles and the chevrons, 
as well as the grey, black and white colours.

This graphic paper led me to using crisp lines with lots of angles.

To emphasize the points, I trimmed a couple of 
big triangles from this paper 
and mounted it on black to suit the black and white photo.

This looked too stark, so I added a few smaller triangles 
and fiddled around with placement.  

I made a few pencil lines around the edges, 
as I planned to add some mixed media under the photo
and some stamping along the bottom.

The Prima Rustic washers were added to draw the eye to the photo.

The title was cut from a different paper in the collection.  
I love the way it combines with the image on the hoodie.

I tucked a couple of extra triangles in to balance the design.

Thanks for calling in today, I hope you find something 
to inspire your creativity. 
Would you like to play along?  You don't need a blog to join in and we'd love to see where the "points" take you.   
Just pop your project in the folder named 
"The point is" on facebook, by the 14th of June.   You MUST use at least one product from Scrap Matrix.

Here are the links to the products I used which are available at Scrap Matrix.
