Spritz and Spray with Jen

Hi Everyone!

Are you enjoying the challenge this month so far? I see there are a few entries already posted on the Facebook share page and they are fantastic! I hope to inspire a few more entries today.

I've created a small canvas to share with you today. I've used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays that have a shimmer.

I didn't really have a plan when I first started. I knew what I would like to use but I was unsure if I would use them.

I glued strips of 7 Dots Studio papers (Cotton Candy and Write's Block) across my canvas and covered them with gesso.

I did hope that some of the detail on the papers would show through.

I glued on the metal elements that I wanted to form the base of my design first and coated them with gesso. Then the rest of my metal elements, shapes, jewels, stones and beads. Next, a final coat of gesso.

Once dry I sprayed my lightest colour in the middle and worked my way towards the edges using darker shades. It required a couple of coats to get the result I wanted. I had hoped that the colours would drip along the strips, but they didn't. At least not the way I wanted.

To highlight some of my elements I added some wax from my stash just to make a few details stand out.

I finished with a Tim Holtz sticker.

I hope you like it.

Jen.

We're on an adventure - 2nd share with Helen

Welcome back to the Scrap Matrix challenge this month
where we have a unique mood board to inspire you;
it's all about petals and metals.

I chose to scrap a photo of my Grand daughter,

who loves the great outdoors.

First up I used clear gesso to seal the background paper,

it's by 7 Dot's Studio, Garden Party and perfect for my photo.

I wanted to use this gorgeous floral stamp by Paper Artsy to frame the photo. I stamped it with Black Archival ink and fussy cut the images, before coloring them with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.

Don't be afraid to cut the pieces apart to suit your needs; it makes the stamps so much more versatile.

This stencil is wonderfully eclectic, with heaps of different patterns and shapes. Just the thing for adding texture.

It's a fave for me.

I scraped some texture paste through one corner of it.

Next I started auditioning various 7 Dots Studio tags and a doily from my stash, to form a nest for my photo.

Adding in a title and some metal flowers.

Fiddling around with placement of the flowers
and trialling a metal heart.

Hmmm...maybe some chipboard too? What do you think?

Eventually I'm happy with the placement and add some wax to the chipboard piece to create a metal sheen.

The process of adding bits & bobs, taking them off again, changing the position of pieces, can take ages, as I'm a slow scrapper.

The flicks of yellow Oxide inks add some contrast and

draw the eye to the texture paste.

The rusted heart seemed the perfect embellishment for the corner.

Voila! I think it's finished, although I have been known to take it all to pieces in the morning and start again! Luckily there is not enough time to do that for this layout.

I hope you find time to play along this month.
We'd love to see your take on the challenge.

Just add your entry to the Scrap Matrix Shares Page and don't forget to let us know what Scrap Matrix products you used and what inspired you. You could be in the running for a $30.00 gift voucher and perhaps a Guest Design Team spot down the track.
