Addicted To Grunge Art Journalling - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using Addicted To Grunge Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I love the "grunginess" of this collection but I wanted to use some fun bright colours. 

Here is my completed page.

 

 

I painted some Cobalt Colour Shimmer Dust and Deep Water Colour Mica Powder on the background, then added splatters of Cobalt and Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust and Deep Water Colour Mica Powder. Next I added stencilling using Snow White Colour Paste through the Old Time Numbers A4 Stencil. Stamping was added using a grey inkpad and the Alpha Grunge Stamp Set. 

 

To finish the page I added an image from the internet, die cuts using the Vintage Number Metal Die set and book paper, and the Trellis metal die and white cardstock. Lastly I added some words and I used a fine black Life of Colour Pen to draw around the edge of the page. 

Addicted To Grunge is a grungy masculine collection designed by Karen Louwen. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Fresh Air by Rikki G

  Good evening how are you all? Busy, busy here myself with getting creative and also prepping for an up and coming retreat, let me tell you my fingers are burnt from the hot glue.

So today I am sharing with you one of my processes when it comes to working out my mixed media backgrounds. 

I work and play in my art journal.....

My art journals tend to be where I work out colour combos, techniques and other things before I start playing with my scrap pages, especially when  I am lacking ideas, or not to sure how it will work out.

So then my art journals become a how to guide so I dont forget how I did it.

This is also a good time to crack out the old washi tapes and add them into your backgrounds, who doesnt love washi tapes.

When you layer your inks you end up with a nice Bokeh effect.

Adding some fussy cutting pieces you can create a finished journal page.

Its all about the layers, washi, stamping , inking, stenciling, splatting ink, and ephemera.

So why dont you create your own journal as a go to guide.

1 x single sided Cut n Colour paper exclusive to this collection pack

Honeycomb Spray- A5 Stencil

Bokeh - Clear Stamp Set

Vamp - Clear Stamp Set

Kind Heart - Clear Stamp Set

A4 Cut Apart - Assorted #11

Till next time have a creative day.

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have 2 art journal pages to share with you made using lots of fun arty products available from Bee Arty. In both cases I was inspired by the monthly moodboard at the time but never god around to finishing the pages or sharing them - oops.

 

 

This first page was inspired by the May mood board and sketch challenge - my fav colours!

 

Ive use Cool Mint, Steel, Apple of my eye, Jungle and Polar Mica powders on the background. Then I've done some random stamping with the Recipe Script stamp from the Raspberry Fizz collection.

I've added a velum Sea Script diecut. The jelly fish fussy cut and title are from the Saltwater collection paper pack.

The next page was inspired by the April mood board and sketch challenge - so fun and bright! 

 

Ive use Sunflower, Amber and Candy Colour Artist Dye Ink on the background. The flowers are cut from the black and white fussy cut sheet from the paper collection pack in the Raspberry Fizz collection. I've painted a light colour wash on the flowers using the Colour Artist Dye Ink.

Lastly I added some words from the "Always" Black on White cut apart sheet.

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using lots of fun arty products available from Bee Arty. 

 

  

I'm playing along with the February mood board and sketch challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty online voucher. You have until February 28th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules). 

 

I was immediately inspired by the moodboard picture and colours and I knew I could quickly re-create it with some of the Bee Arty dies I had.

I created this page in a 6x6 kraft journal. I started by swiping heavy white gesso across the page. 

I added stamping using the Find Your Way stamp and Grey Archival ink.

I've added diecuts from the Flower Stems metal die set, the Autumn trio metal die set, and the Aussie leaves metal die set  (using 250gsm White Cardstock). 

I painted the diecuts with Lovely Lilac, Blush and Steel Mica powders. 

I added some words from the Bee The Sunshine paper collection pack. 

Lastly I outlined the page using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.

Sunshine and Roses Journal Page by Sunila

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Today I'm back with a pictorial for you all! This time, I'm sharing a mixed media style journal page with simple easy steps using the Bee The Sunshine Collection. 

This collection is fun and vibrant, just what I enjoy when creating. So get your scissors out, and start fussy cutting all the lovely elements.

Here's a look at the page.

Step 1- Cut a piece of pattern paper from the collection depending on the size of your journal. I usually like to leave an 1/2 inch border on all sides. Distress the edges of the paper and adhere it down in the book. 

Step 2- Apply White Paste through a stencil randomly on the page.

Step 3- Add texture, with a background stamp and inks. Black inks and coloured inks that go with the existing colours, work well for this. I've used a shade of Brown. 

Step 4- Pick out all the fussy cut elements from the collection, and layer them on the page. Stick some flat down and some with foam tape, bringing in dimension,

Here's a look at some close-ups:

Supplies used:

Bee Arty Collection- Bee The Sunshine

Rhythm Stencil

Memories Rubber Stamp

Snow White Colour Paste

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Hugs,

Sunila
