Live Life - Scrapmatts DT Canvas

Live Life

Good Morning Everyone, Rhonda here with you today with my 
Scrapmatts blog post...

This month I created three totally different projects to share with you all... 

The first of my project's is a canvas "about me" and set by Sofie
 which was a challenge by itself and I must admit 
it was the hardest challenge I have faced for some time. 
For starters I didn't possess a recent photo of me, so hubby said 
ok lets go and take a few photo's, so that was the photo 
out of the way... 
The next problem I faced was having to use the photo on the canvas, 
no doubt a lot artists feel the same...

My canvas is titled "Live Life."

Firstly I used three different stencils for the background, I then worked out the 
rest of the chipboard pieces I would use and tried some stencilling on the them, 
it turned out quite effective... 

Next I chose what colours I was going to use, I picked a few LSG starburst 
spray mists. I also inked the chipboard pieces once the texture paste was dry...

I laid the chipboard pieces where I wanted them to go to make sure they
 would not go past the edge, and once I was happy I glued everything down
 and I was done...

The products I used for this project are as follows 
Scrapwords 24 - CB1238 in Burnt Cream
LSG - Time Travel Teal
LSG - Jazzy Jivin Purple
LSG - Magnolia Magenta Gold

I also used a few things from my stash 
Prima Flowers - Butterfly - Bulbe
WOC - Sweetheart Blossoms
White Cotton Twine
Texture Paste
A stickpin I made


My second project is a quick present for my husband as it was our 
Wedding Anniversary on the 23rd March.

Chocolate bar slide cover is called
"Just For You" 
I made the box and I wanted to decorated it very masculine, so it was a
prime opportunity to use this awesome chipboard set from my DT pack...

Once I glued everything into place I got a small piece of chain
 and tucked one end under the belt and joined the other 
end to the top of the pocket watch... 

Products used for this projects are 
Mens Accesories 01 - CB1201
Buckles & Belts 01 - CB 1231
Patterned Paper - Fab Scraps - Shabby Blues (Retired)
Cardstock - Steel Grey Foil (From My Stash) A piece of chain.

My third and final project for this month is a card titled
"Birthday Wishes"
 

For this card I started with a white card base, then started building, before
 I got to far I found the Dress form chipboard piece I was going to feature 
and placed it on a piece of white card where I wanted to start creating the 
background, I had a mauve spray mist  that I wanted to use and 
spayed over the chipboard piece using it as a stencil in a 
few different places, I then used my heat tool and dried the 
card and my dress form chipboard piece, it turned 
out really pretty... 

I used some gauze to sit under my Dress form with a pearl trim, a small 
resin crown and a crown charm, a velvet flower and some WOC flowers 
I also used Micro Chips 18 to sit under the greeting... 

Products I used for this card are
CB6036 - Dress Forms 01
MC1026 - Micro Chips 18
Cardstock - White and Teal,
White Gauze,
Pearl Trim,
Metal charm Crown,
 Resin Crown,
 Velvet Flower,
 Seed Beads in Teal and Mauve,
 Micro Beads in Silver, 
Pearls in Teal and Mauve, 
 and some Sequins.

So there you have it my three projects created...

Thanks for stopping by, make sure you come back soon to see what
 the rest of the New Design team have been creating.

Until next time!

Everlasting Box of Flowers

Hello Crafty Friends and Followers,

Today I have 2 projects I have created to share with you all.

I was commissioned to create these 2 box of  Everlasting flowers by a lady, I had met through her sister... One is a get well card for her sister who had just been diagnosed with Cancer and the other was for her mums 80th Birthday... 

I really enjoyed making these for her as I felt I had a connect with this lovely lady, I also was asked to make 4 Easter gifts for her work friends up in the North West of Western Australia where she works as she is a FIFO worker...
But I will be back tomorrow to share them with you all... 

The Get Well Box








The 80th Birthday Box

By the Sea created Rhonda

Hello Scrapmatts Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors...

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to be chosen as one of the very talented New Design Team Members for my very favourite chipboard companies,

My first project is By the Sea
I started my first project off by using the pearlised Dew Drop Inks sold at ScrapmattsI coloured all the chipboard pieces then used a thin coat of crackle medium to give them all a 3D textured look... 
In the mean time I took a piece of cardboard and used a scalpel to cut shapes out of the top layer of the cardboard to create the background to make it look a bit like waves, I then covered the cardboard with white Dylusions ink and once dry I mixed some acrylic blue paint and water and sprayed that over the dried ink, I was happy with the results as it turned out like a crazed look... 
I then glued all the chipboard pieces where I wanted them then added some 
real shells to finish it off... 
So there you have it, my first project is complete... 
To find the chipboard pieces I have used for this project they are as follows... CB1221Nautical Designs 04   CB1226 Marine Life 01  CB6064 Nautical Designs 01 and CB4067 Marine Life 02...

For my second project I couldn't wait to use the new stencils...  
For this project I gessoed a canvas, then brushed on some acrylic paints, I then used some modelling paste and used the the Stars Stencil to get the added affect of stars in the early evening...
I then used the Tyre Tracks stencil to show my son's 4WD driving a long the beach.
I inked the chipboard pieces I wanted to use...
I used the small CB5122 Hexagon Mesh and CB5131 Bubbles 01...
  
So there you have it my first 2 projects created...

Thanks for stopping by, make sure you come back soon to see what the rest of the New Design team have been creating.


Until next time!

Happy Thursday Everyone!


Hello Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors...

I have been struggling with life this month as we have a lot of family issues happening...
And to add to this our Daughter and her partner feel they need a new start, so they are moving from Western Australia, to Victoria, which is approx. 3000kms.
I am dreading this happening, but you can only keep them under your wing for so long.

I have been suffering severally with Anxiety, and can't sleep at night.
I think it is from a mix of happenings.  

So today I have a card that was created for a very good friends daughter-in-law.  
I thoroughly enjoyed creating this card for her daughter-in-law.

So I hope you all like it...


So there you have it.
