Sweet Vibes - Rikki G

Good evening how are you all? Rikki here on this fine Sunday to share with you my latest creation for Bee Arty and this is for this months current challenge either a moodboard or the sketch or like myself... why not combine the two?

Heres my take in the challenge, you still have plenty time to enter and win !!!

Want to see how it was created? Follow along with a process video.

To start off use a stencil like the Honeycomb Spray Stencil.... to build up the colour in the background I used Tim Holtz Oxide - Pickled Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo.

 

Stamp Find Your Way to the left hand side of the page with an archival ink.

Follow this up with stamping the right hand side with the Geo Grunge - the one with the Bee, set this aside for layer on.

Now its all about adding your pattern paper layers and to soften you can add some vellum as your last layer.

Add some fussy cut elements from Sunny Days 12x12 Paper.

Add photos and title.

Now with the Geo Grunge Stamp - stamp though out the background randomly, if you keep your stamp unmounting it will help with the random effect.

Now its time to get messy with Colour Artist Dye - Slipper, Citrus, and Spiced.

Flick over the background and dilute in places with water. 

Dont forget to cover your photo.

To finish off use Shimmer Spray - Bling with a brush flick and let it run like honey.....

So why dont you join us in this challenge, just follow the link:

Bee Happy - You are the Sunshine of my Life by Charmane Koch

 Hey guys! Today I thought I would share with you a layout that I created a while ago, but for some reason I hadn't shared yet!

I've used lots of goodies from the Bee The Sunshine range!

I started off by stamping directly onto the background paper - Find your Way stamp - to the top left of where I wanted my photo, and then to the bottom right of the photo.

I have then mixed together Sunshine Mica Powder with some Gel Medium to create a paste.

I have stencilled the Flower Garden Sunflower a few times along the right side of the layout, overlapping over parts of the stamp & stencilled Abstract Daisy along the left hand side of the paper. 

I also stamped the Find your Way stamp a few times onto white tissue paper. I've then cut around the tissue paper and the using Gel Medium stuck down the stamped tissue paper into the desired position on the layout.

I love how you can see the stencilled flower through the stamped tissue paper, giving a nice layered effect.

To give my layout a bit of 3D effect I have used cardboard to life my photo & the word cut outs. Since this layout I have bought the fabulous Adhesive Foam strips which is perfect to do this as well.

Before I stuck my Word Cut out title I inked the edges of each piece.

This was quite a simple layout to put together, but I love how it has turned out.

The colours of this collection are perfect!

The stamps & stencils I've used:

The papers are all beautiful in this range - I used the Pretty Fields paper...

Thanks for popping by! Hope you get a chance to create and maybe give this layout a go?
