Welcome to November @ Scrapmatts!

Hello, hello.....dear friends of Scrapmatts!!

Kim here to kick off the month with a few of my recent creations!

Today I will be sharing a layout & a few cards!

The layout I am sharing today is one I had planned on entering into last months (October) challenge over at Kraft+.......The Challenge was called: I Can See Clearly Now

It involved using something see-through on your layout.

As most of you would know, I have been creating a lot of shaker cards & shaker tags lately, so I thought 'Why not do a sort of, Shaker layout???

Here is what I came up with.

July Creating with Helen - Memories, Hello and three ATC's

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a layout which I created for the Kraft+ July challenge.

I've used Fussy cut roses, a background of roses, a rose stencil and the stunning 

Scrapmatts rose chipboard.

I used acrylic paints on the gorgeous String circles Roses  and layered them up with

 pretty papers are from Kaisercraft, the High Tea collection. 

The fussy cut roses are from "Devonshire"

The stencil is by Tim Holtz THS075. 

The background paper is "Tea leaves"

The little title I just swiped with watercolour ink.

Next I'm sharing a layout which was a combined Scrapmatts/CSI challenge.
Scrapmatts is kindly sponsoring CSI again this month.

 I wet embossed the gorgeous frame to highlight my photo.  

The little wooden stars were added for one of the evidence clues. 

The butterfly was given a water colour wash; another of the evidence clues.

The script word was heavily embossed with UTEE and the chipboard held up perfectly.

Scrapmatts May creating with Helen - a layout and a card

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a bath time layout; 

the bubbles stencil and chipboard seemed just right for this page. 

This little Bubba loved his bath. No matter what mood he was in before he hit the water, he instantly became angelic in the suds.

I used my favourite embossing powder on the wings and the string circle frame.
It's Aged Ivory from Stampendous.   The Bubble chipboard was just swiped with Gesso and I used Liquitex texture paste through the stencils.

Next up is a vintage style card

This is a tent style card, so that I could attach a ribbon at the top.
I decorated the inside as well. The paper is from Pion.
I inked the spray of Roses and added shine with Glossy Accents.
The ornate frame was wet embossed with Aged Ivory from Stampendous.
