Hello Scrap Matrix lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration for this month's challenge
I was inspired by the metallics in the mood board.
So, I have used a few bits of metal on my art journal page.
This is what I came up with
I have started by giving my page a coat of 'Liquitex Gesso',
but I will admit I didn't do the best job coating it ;)
which show later when I add some colour.
Next I have used my 'Finnabair Light Paste' & my
'Paper Artsy PS109 Stencil' by Tracy Scott, to stencil onto my page.
I have also used the '7 Dots Studio Air Mail Postage Notes Stencil'.
to stencil the words.
Next I have added some colour with my favourite Lindy's colour,
'Clam Bake Beige'. I love the tones you can achieve with this colour,
and a little bit of shimmer doesn't hurt right?
Add a little bit of water to get it moving.
Unfortunately this is where you can see I missed parts with my gesso.
Next I have used my 'Distress Ink - in Vintage Photo',
and blending tool to colour the edges of
my pages and rub over the stencilled areas.
Next I have used some 'Dylusions in Black Marble',
again adding water to help the flow.
Now I am ready to start adding some elements to my page.
I have adhered a doily cut from old paper, and
an ephemera piece from 'Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ephemera Pack Expedition'
I have also stapled a piece of 'Jute Trim'
I have then started to add more of the ephemera pack to build up my layers.
Some pieces I have stapled to others before adhering to the page.
I have distressed the ephemera pieces and added more layers.
I have also used some of the '7 Dots Studio Airmail Word Stickers'.
I have then added some of my metal charms, first the 'Brass Plate Small #1'.
I have also used some medical tape torn and adhered.
I have also used some of the 'Finnabair Mechanical Metal Embellishments'.
I have also used one of the 'Tim Holtz Small Talk' word stickers.
I have scattered the stars over my page.
I have used foam tape for some of the pieces, for that extra dimension and pop.
I hope that you like what I have created and,
that it may inspire you to enter our challenge for a chance to win some goodies!
Until next time!
Lisa xoxo
