Colour Artist Inks - 3 ways in 3 layouts! by Amanda Hartmann
Hi everyone!
I am very proud to be back for another year with the Bee Arty creative team! What a great group of creative people and what awesome products to work with.
Today I am sharing three layouts with some simple background techniques using Colour Artist Inks.
You will need:
* a collection of Colour Artist Inks
The three techniques you see here are:
Layout 1: Using Stamped emboss images with Artist Inks
Layout 2: Using Resist crayon and messy doodling with Artist Inks
Layout 3: Using textured/gessoed background with Artist Inks
And the good news is - you have a chance to make one of these pages LIVE with me during a Facebook live to be run later today! Which page? Watch our FB page to cast your vote!

'Come in we are AWESOME' by Sandi Spink
Hi everyone,
I'm really looking forward to the new year of creating ahead. I took the chance on my holidays to relax and enjoy some creative time. I'd like to share one of my projects with you.
I always have some left overs from kits, so I thought I'd challenge myself and use them to create a page. This page was using the 'Grateful Heart' kit by amazing Michelle Grant.
I used: 12x12 page 'Love' and 'Blessed'(phrases)
Heavy White Gesso
Colour Blast Artist Ink 'Lime
Colour Blast Colour Paste 'Deep Water'
- Using gel medium I glued some torn strips of old book pages onto the 'Love' 12x12 from the kit.
- With a spatula I scraped Colour Blast 'Heavy white gesso' over the torn papers, wiping sections with a wet one to smooth out the gesso in some areas.
- Using the spatula I applied Colour Blast 'Colour Paste Deep Water ' across the dried gesso using the wet one to blend the Colour Paste.
- Cutting out all the left over phrases from the kit page 'Blessed' I edged each with black ' Archival ink' before experimenting with a variety of placement and direction of text. I took a photo of where all of the phrases, old negatives and some photos were before individually gluing each into place. Some of them I added small pieces of cardboard to the back to help add height and dimension. ( I later changed and added more photos to balance the page better)
- Adding a small amount of the Colour Artist Ink 'Lime' onto the mat and into it dipped a small paint brush using it to splat colour onto the background. I covered photos and phrases with scrap paper to protect them from added colour.
- I repeated the process with watered down white heavy gesso.
Here are few close ups to check out:
Thanks for joining me and I hope I inspired you to check out this amazing kit and others at beearty.com.au . You can find more inspiration and links on BeeArty's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BeeArtyHive

Today is a Gift Layout by Julie Schinkel
On a glass craft mat or messy mat, mix some Olive Grove Mica Powder with some water. Smoosh across the base with some scrap plastic.
Next fussy cut the floral cluster from the "Love" 12x12 paper excluding the bird cage. The image below shows where it will sit on the layout.

You Make Me So Happy by Tracey Campbell
Hello everyone,
Happy New Year and I hope 2021 is better to you than 2020 was.
I am so excited to be back for another year sharing my love of Colour Blast and Bee Arty with you all. For my first Creative Team share for the year I have pulled out my leftovers from the Grateful Hearts collection, I love how the Bee Arty kits just keep going and going. I have created 6 layouts from this collection so far and still have more to use.
Anyhoo onto my creation, You Make Me So Happy.
