Colourful Characters with Lisa Amiet

Hello Scrap Matrix fans!

This month for our challenge we have something different for you

I have created a couple of tags with what my son calls zombie doll characters,

 one boy and one girl :)

To start with I have painted my tags with my 'Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paints' in

'Magenta' and 'Ocean'. 

I have then used some 'Lemon' to stencil through my 'Grungy Grid stencil'.

I have used the 'Zinksi Art Set 02' to stamp the characters onto white cardstock. 

I have then used my 'Art Philosophy Oil Pastels' to roughly colour them in, 

I wanted them to look like a child's drawing. 

I have added some smears of pastels to the tag bases too!

Add in some more stamping to the tags with the 'Paper Artsy ETS02' stamps.

Lastly, I have used some of the 'Dina Wakley Collage Words' for my quote.

I have used the same methods to decorate the boy tag with boy colours :)

Isn't he ever so cute??

I hope that you like what I have created, 

and that they inspire you to create some cute quirky characters of your own!

Until next time!

Lisa

'Splashes' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some splishing and splashing with you.

I have finally decorated the cover of my art journal!!

I have used the KISS method (Keep It Simple Silly!)

So this is the large 'Dylusions Creative Journal',

I have first given it a few thick coats of 'Liquitex Gesso',

to seal it, and give me a nice clean white base for my colours to stand out.

I stood it up on my desk, I wanted it to be a landscape orientation.

I have then used my 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays' in

Fuchsia, Marine, Eggplant, Lemon & Turquoise, 

to spray and spill some colour,

letting them pool and drip.

I have then used an art journal sticker from the '13Arts Journey Stickers'

I love how the colours have blended and ran together in parts.

I also love how glossy these sprays are, no need for any gloss medium!

I have used another of the Journey Stickers on the bottom of the cover.

I have only done the first side so far,

but am planning on repeating it to the back sometime soon.

I hope you like what I have finally done to it.

Until next time!

Lisa

Turn Mistakes into Beauty with Lisa Amiet

Hello all,

it's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you. 

I have created this art journal page for this month's challenge

I have used the challenge as inspiration for this page.

I have started with a blank page in my art journal,

a quick coat of gesso to the page to seal it.

I have used my new 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays'

in Turquoise for the centre of the page, lots of sprays and splatters.

I have then used my Eggplant spray around the edge of the page.

Then I have used the White spray in the centre, as a base for my girl.

Once this had dried I used the 'Jane Davenport Faces Stamp',

to stamp her face out. 

It has heaps of options for different facial features, 

so I have stamped those also.

I have then used 'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint in Lemon',

that I have watered down a little to give it some movement,

 and I have painted and dribbled her hair on. 

I have also used the 'Eggplant Spray' to paint her dress,

 and to colour her lips.

Lastly, I have used one of the quotes from the 'Dina Wakley Collage Words',

adhered to the top of my page.

I hope that you like what I have created,

 and that it inspires you to get a little messy this month!

Until next time!

Mini Madness Album with Lisa

Hello all!

It's Lisa here on the blog today to share some 

Mini Madness inspiration with you!

I was lucky enough to receive this cute little mini album from Vicki.

I have created a little spread art journal spread.

I have kept it pretty simple, I find working on a small scale very challenging!

I have used the 'TCW Skylight Stencil',

and have sponged on some 'Dina Wakley Acrylic in 'Night'

I love the effect and colour! YUM!

Next, a coat of 'Dina Wakley Acrylic in Cheddar', onto some white cardstock.

I have then used the 'AAll & Create Stamp #35' to stamp out the chicken with black ink.

So cute!

I have then fussy cut the chicken out. 

I also stamped out some flowers of this piece.

I have then stamped out the ballet shoes, 

and the sentiment using 'Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn'.

I have then adhered all the pieces to my pages. 

I am quite happy with how it turned out,

a little bit quirky!

I hope that you have liked what I created. 

I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge!

Until next time!

'Mini Gift Tags' with Lisa Amiet

Hello Matrix friends!

It's Lisa here today to share some 

Mini Madness with you!

I have created a couple of mini gift tags.

I have started with a card base, these are only 2.5 x 3.5 inches big.

I have used some of my Dina Wakley Media Acrylics for the base in 'Sand'

I have then added some streaks of the 'Night',

 along with some Dylusions paint in 'Cherry Pie' 

I have then used some 'Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers',

stencilled through my 'Prima Checker 12 x 12 Stencil'

Next I have used the 'AAll & Create Stamp #3'

and my 'Archival Ink Pad', to stamp the circles onto my tags.

Then I have used my 

'Art Philosophy Oil Pastels- Rustic' to doodle some lines and shapes. 

I have then added some torn strips of collage papers, from the

'Art by Marlene Collage Papers #3' 

I have then added some pieces of 'White Lace Trim',

that I have stapled onto my tags. 

Some more close ups :)

To finish I have added some sentiments using the 

'Tim Holtz Label Letters'

And lastly some 'Molossi Crystal Gems' 

 for a little bit of bling 

I don't usually create on this small scale,

but I enjoyed the challenge, 

and I am really happy with how they turned out.

I hope that they inspire you to create something mini,

 for this month's challenge.

Until next time!

'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!
