It was back to Scrap Matrix this week as Vicki returned from her trip and straight back into creating. I'm going to call Tuesdays 'Challenge Tuesdays @ Scrap Matrix' from now on, as that is what we are going to do on Tuesdays, lol.
This week I decided to start with Kraft+ , and here is the moodboard for the month:
I started with a rough idea of what I wanted to do and went looking for a die to cut some branches as I was inspired by the foliage in several of the photos. Below is what I started with.
From there I got out the spray mists and I used two green mists, one from Primary Elements and one from Perfect Pearl to color my branches. I then took a scrap of muslin and sprayed it with three orange mists, one from Primary Elements (Ginger Peach), one from Perfect Pearls (Mandarin) and a third I can't remember the name for. I then pulled scraps from my previous Tuesdays that represented for me the colors in the moodboard and created the layered papers behind my photo. The white around the photos was inspired by the white around the photos in the moodboard. While waiting for stuff to dry I grabbed some twine from the shelf and created the piece under the photo inspired by the twine in the photo. Once everything had I dried I glued it all together. This is how it looked at that point:
I knew I wanted to add something more, but did not have what I needed with me, so I packed it away to finish at home.
Next I decided to work on the Scrap Around the World moodboard for May:
I love the colors, it so pretty. I went straight for Blue Fern Studio Ombre Dreams and the b-side:
It is so beautiful, I ended up using a couple of the cards from the a-side as well. This is the basic set-up I am going to use:
But that was as far I a got because it was time to go home.
I will post final pages in their own post soon for their respective challenges.
Chat to you all again soon.
Love
Michelle
