Tambarambaa: Scrap Matrix Challenge!!

Hi everyone

Well I'm super excited to share my first post as a Design Team Member for Scrap Matrix.

There's a great challenge on over at Scrap Matrix, in fact our first challenge ever!! We'd love you to join in.

Vicki is offering a voucher from her store.....and she seriously has the BEST stuff - all my favourite brands. She is the only Australian stockist of 13Arts and she also has companies like Dina Wakely, Dylusions, Blue Fern, 7 Dots and many many more.

So the challenge is this awesome Mood Board:

It's all about our space....where we create....where the magic happens!!

You could have an amazing studio, a designated room, a desk, your kitchen table - wherever and whatever it is we'd love to see it!

You can head to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook Page to enter your creation (you'll find it in the Album section).

I can't wait to check out your entries!!

So without further ado, here is my space......

I had so much fun creating this one. It's busy and messy.....just like my space.

I'm so very grateful to have a room to scrap/create in. It's my haven, my safe place. I love that I can get messy - and then just shut the door!! It's MY MESS! Yep my creative mess.

I began by applying white gesso to my cardstock. I then added some black gesso to one side of the layout. I also added a few flicks of black gesso.

I then brushed some Aqua/Rose Opal Magic Paint onto the black gesso, using a stencil from 'The Crafters Workshop' called 'Sketch Grid'.
I just LOVE this product - I rave on about it often, but basically it's a lovely soft pink metallic on white, and turns a gorgeous metallic teal against black. It really is like magic.

I then added some Dylusions spray in Fresh Lime to some Soft Gloss Gel.

I swiped this through a 13 Arts Triangle Stencil.

I then had a lot of fun with some Dylusions Sprays - spritzing and flicking these onto my layout.

I then added a variety of stamps. Some around the edges of the gesso, and also along the sides of my layout.

I then added some but pieces of mesh tape, and some washi tape.

I then coated some of the gorgeous Scrap Matrix Metals with white gesso.

I added my photos in a cluster to my page.

I tucked lots of 7Dots Tags and paper off cuts behind my photos.

I tucked in the metal and also added some embellishments.

I used 7Dots Word Stickers, 13 Arts Clear Stickers, metal feathers, string and even some old dry paintbrushes. How cool do they look!
