17, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi Bee Arty fans!

Today's page was inspired by my daughters bright green outfit and a photo of her, on her birthday with her new camera. So I basically started with everything white or raw and used my Bee Arty mixed media to create my own background and colour the embellishments.

AND, of course I started with the NEW Bee Arty heavy weight cardstock!

The Bee Arty mixed media products used on this page are:

* Colour Mica Powder in Apple of my Eye

* Colour Artist Inks in Lime and Grass

* Colour Spray in Roadbase

* Colour Paste in Snow White

* Colour Shimmer Spray in Dusty Charcoal

* Colour Embossing Powder in Dusty Charcoal

* Stencil - Humps

Here is the page... and a short explanation as to how I created it.

I found some circular tissue paper doilies in my stash and I coloured them with the artist inks, as well as some Colour Mica Powder and water, all mixed together.

After painting the circles, I mopped up the leftover colour from the messy mat, onto the white cardstock.

I used machine stitching to stitch the circles to the page and to stitch around the edge of the page.

I used Colour Paste in snow white through the Hump stencil on the largest circle on the page.

Colouring embellishments:

* I used Lime and Grass artist inks to colour the white flowers and the muslin.

* I used Roadbase and then Dusty Charcoal sprays to colour the wooden cameras

* I used Dusty Charcoal embossing powder to colour the chipboard "17"

                 

Page finished with some black stamping, and splatters of Grass Colour Artist Ink and Roadbase Colour Spray.

I love my crazy bright girl!

And I love the bright green of my page!

Now I will go back to figuring out how I can have a 17 year old!

Thanks for looking,

Amanda
