Beauty - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Botanicals Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

This page was inspired by the July mood board and sketch challenge. I loved this sketch - but I'm a bit late with the challenge :)

 

 I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. First I sewed a square in the middle of the page using my sewing machine and black thread. Then I painted a wash of Wine Colour Shimmer Dust. I splattered water onto the page (with my fingers) then dabbed with a paper towel - this removes colour and gives a watercolour look. When this was dry I added splatters of Wine and Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust. 

 

I added stamping using a black inkpad and the Untamed Stamp Set from Botanicals. 

I added stencilling using texture paste applied through the Stems stencil from Botanicals collection.

 

Here is my completed page, along with a beautiful photo of Jessica riding Tommy :) 

 

 Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper in the Botanicals paper collection pack. The words are from Hello My Love paper. I have punched out the "Beauty" circle from the top right of the Hello My Love paper and used my button maker to create a flair. Flowers, gold thread, hessian and gauze from my stash were perfect additions to the embellishment clusters. 

I used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Flower Stems metal die set to create some diecuts for my embellishment clusters. 

 

 

 Botanicals has soft floral vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Amy Evans. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed!
