Ranger - Lydia

Hello, I am back to share my second Ranger challenge project. I hope you are all enjoying this months challenge, there is only a week or so left to enter so be sure to get creating and enter over on the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook group.

This project I decided to have some fun with my Ranger Dylusions Ink Sprays and of course I stuck to my go to colours of 'Bubblegum Pink', 'Vibrant Turquoise' and 'Laidback Lilac'.

Now for this mixed media page I used a piece of white cardstock which I cut down to 8 1/2 x 11 inches. I did use from Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic paint in White to give the cardstock a little bit of a paint. I painted this on very roughly so that once the Dylusions were applied it would give some contrast.



Once acrylic paint was dry I sprayed the Dylusions onto the surface. I did add some sprays of water to make the in drip as well. I love how the Dylusions colors work so well together. The colours that were used are 'Bubblegum Pink', 'Vibrant Turquoise' and 'Laidback Lilac'.

Next I added some splatters using Ranger Dylusions Paint in the colours 'Bubblegum Pink' and 'Rose Quartz'. I did add a little of water to make the splatters splat better. I also used a fine paintbrush to do so.

To add a little bit of texture to the page I added some dots of Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint 10z bottles in the colours 'Night' and 'Blushing'. I love these little bottle because you can even draw things with the paint since it has a small tip.

 Lastly I decided the page needed a feature, so I painted some flowers using Dylusions Paint in the colour 'Bubblegum Pink'.

Remember you don't have much time to enter this months challenge using Ranger products, so be sure to get creating and to enter over on the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook group. I hope you enjoyed this simple but effective mixed media page and that it has inspired you to get messy.

Holiday Moodboard Layout - Lydia

Lydia back to share my project this month to go along side this months moodboard challenge.

This month I decided to go down my path and create a scrapbook layout again. I found this challenge easy and I love how the layout turned out.
With this months project I seemed to have focused on the beautiful Pinkfresh Studio collection "Escape The Ordinary" which is perfect for those beach holiday images.

I love this collection because it gives an arty feel while still being the traditional scrapbooking paper and embellishments. As the main feature of the layout I used some of the patterned papers from the collection and simply cut out some tags. I embellished using the collections puffy stickers and normal cardstock phase stickers.

 

 

For my main title I used a Blue Fern Studio wood veneer 'On the Road'. I didn't embellish or decorate this wood veneer as I quite liked the raw look of it, but it could easily be painted or inked etc.

 

 

Again I used some of the pattered paper from collection to give the layout a type of border and I also added some small embellishments including again some puffy stickers and cardstock phase stickers.

 



I did add some white thread to all the tags to give the whole layout some texture and white on white feel.

 

I really love how this layout turned out and it was fun to play with some paper again.

Be sure to head over to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook group to be able to enter this months challenge and I can't wait to see the entries.

 

Hope you have a great time creating.

Paper Artsy Tags - Lydia

Lydia, back again today to share my second project for the month featuring Paper Artsy. Today I am sharing a set of three tages using a range of projects from the Scrap Matrix store and featuring E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set from Paper Artsy.



First thing I did was grab some tags from my stash, using a small palette knife added some Dylusions Paint in the colours Bubblegum Pink and Rose Quartz. I also love how fast these Dylsuions Paints dry too.



I wanted to build some light layers on these tags so I used the Tim Holtz - Lace Stencil and sprayed some of my favourite Dylusions Inks in the colours Rose Quartz and Laidback Lilac. Although the inks did run a bit when I sprayed them, I like the effect that gave.

I then used the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set from Paper Artsy and stamped onto some plain white card and fussy cut them out. And to adhere them to the tags I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive.



Last but not least I added a few textural items including Finnabair by Prima Art Glass Beads in the colour Zinc and some Finnabair by Prima Art Ingredients Mica Flakes in the colour Mulberry.

And now for some close up photos.

I hope you all liked these tags. Also be sure to head over to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook Group to be able to enter this months Paper Artsy challenge, you have 5 days!!! I will be back next month with more projects.

Paper Artsy Bauble - Lydia

Happy New Year Scrap Matrix friends. Lydia back to share my December Paper Artsy challenge project which is a DIY bauble and tag using their stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 which you can find over in the Scrap Matrix store.

This was the perfect project to do for December as it is the month of Christmas and decorations.

Using some plain white cardstock I stamped the beautiful journaling card looking stamp from the Paper Artsy stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 and cut it out. I hole punched it to be able to thread some twine through and finished it with a quick Merry Christmas and Happy New Year message.



And on the reverse side of the tag I again used the Paper Artsy stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 with the triangle to give the tag a featured side. That made the tag finished. Quick, simple and effective.

My favourite part of this project was definately choosing what stamps to use from the Paper Artsy E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set, there were so many to choose from. So this bauble has both a front and back side and is simply made out of cardstock, Dylusions and the beautiful stamp set.

To do the background I started with a piece of cardstock and used the colours Bubblegm Pink, Calypso Teal and Pomegranate Seed, Dylusion inks. Once that had dried I picked out the words smile, camera shy, photography and click from the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 Paper Artsy stamp set ad stamped them on directly onto the Dylusions background.

I than added a little feature to both side using just a stamp from the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 set just stamping it onto plain white cardstock and cutting them out.



I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are ready to get creative with the Scrap Matrix challenges. Be sure to head over to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook Group to enter the Paper Artsy challenge which runs through to the 15th.

Have a great week ahead.

7 Dot's Cards - Lydia

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying this months challenge and seeing all the DT's projects. I am back again to share my second project using 7 Dot's. I have to say I am enjoying creating projects using the 7 Dot's collection 'Writers Block' even though it definately isn't in my confront zone of creating with those colours but what would it be if it wasn't a challenge right?

For my second project using the 'Writers Block' collection I have created two cards.

 

I had a lot of fun layering different pieces while starting with a base on the card with some patterned paper from the collection.

Within my layers on my cards I used the same 4 elements, a tag from the collection, a Prima flower, Finnabair by Prima wood veneer cog and gears and a metal flower. I wanted to add a bit of colour to the colours. As I am sure you all know the colours in this collection don't in to me so I got out my Tim Holtz Distress Ink in the colour Lilac. I than coloured the wooden gears and cogs with the distress ink as well as going around the outside of the card.

And to finish the cards off I added a little sentiment using Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Stickers.

I really love how these cards turned out and that I was able to get outside of my creative confront zone and create with something I defiantly wouldn't use, but that's the point of the challenge hey?
I hope you are all enjoying this months challenge and I am loving seeing everyone's entries over on the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook group.
