October Scrap FX Fun!

A new month and a new release of goodies! So what have have I been playing with this month???

 Well October  is all about the boys! 

You can find all the new products on the Scrap FX website here: http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=products_new

But I have been playing with just a few and thought I would give you a peek.

These are the stamps that totally got my head a spinning with ideas to try.

Clock Face Stamp

Clock Face Stamp   11 x 11 cm

Cogs Stamp

Cogs Stamp   16 x 17 cm

I know too cool right?

I am just loving the versatility of these gems, you can use any medium on them for many different looks. Then you just put them under the tap for a good clean ready to use again.

So I was determined to really test these babies out this month and use them in a totally different way.
Here is the first page I did playing with the clock face stamp. I used an embossing folder and gesso to create a textured background, then added mists to highlight it. You can sort of see it here in this shot, but it is hard to see in a photo.... sorry everyone.

Then I inked up the foam stamp and stamped away to add to the background over the textured 

 Gesso.... it worked a treat because the foam is so flexible I guess!

I combined lots of patterned paper scrap here and also some Sawyers Place sticky paper.

You can also see another new product on this page, that awesome wordlet. 

Love the mix of fonts in this one. 

Now to the second page. I used the Crafters workshop feathers stencil with texture paste to add the depth then sprayed mists to add colour and "drippage".

This time I played with the cog stamp and ink, repeatedly stamping, to add a shadow effect to the background. I even stamped over the top of the texture paste!!

I added some splotches of gold Lindys' Stamp Gang embossing powder randomly across the background because it just needed "something" to make it pop!

And of course my fave ingredient that all my regular readers would know..... cogs a plenty!!

My little Fella's grade 6 Graduation photo, frome last year see how far behind I am? Sooo not an organized chronological scrapper!

I think you get the idea that I just love using the foam stamps as they appear on all the pages I did for this release!

Check out these little beauties that I used on the next page:

 

Vintage Planes

Belt Frame

The next page was a bit of an experiment with Golden Light Molding Paste. I must say I did not know what to expect but now I have to say I am a convert! Love how thick and light it is and when it is dry the page does not curl up as much as the heavier varieties, gotta love that right? And look at all that textural goodness!!

So how did I do this? I may just do a tutorial on this one if everyone is up for it, because it was soo fun and I love the result! But just a hint that I am sure you savvy folk have guessed already I used that awesome cog stamp again!!!!

And how totally cute are those teeny planes??? I have to say I really love how this page turned out! And I am usually the harshest critic of my own work!

How cute is that frame???? 

So I do hope you get a chance to check out these new items and I have inspired just a little!

Have a wonderfully creative month everyone!
