Cherish this Moment - Rikki G

 Good morning how are you? Hope you are finding some creative time, I did over the past weekend when I attended a local retreat, I did manage to create 9 layouts which I am super happy about. But on a positive note it did wake up the mojo which isnt a bad thing.

You can follow along with a process video:

So with Rustic Blossom there are a number of large cogs and flowers in the corners of the pages so dont be afraid to cut them out, you can blend out there edges with chipboard and fussy cut flowers from the Exclusive Cut Apart sheets.

Dont be afraid to cut apart chipboard to give direction around your layout.

Mix art stones and glitter the more layers the better.....

Steampunk Art Journal I Tutorial I Mixed Media I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Hope you are all doing well! Today, I'm sharing a pictorial with you all. I'm creating a steampunk vibe journal page in my art journal . 

Here's a look at the page:

Let's dive right in into creating this!

Step 1- Choose a stencil and apply colour paste through it. This instantly adds colour and texture to the page. On such a page I usually like to have a big composition on one part of the page and little cluster opposite that. That's how I decide where I want the texture to begin within.

Step 2- To add more texture, pick a background stamp and stamp with ink. Now black ink always works, however since I had a steampunk page in mind, I used brown ink.

Step 3- Choose dies that'll go with the theme of the page, and die cut these to add as embellishments and layers to create the composition clusters.

Step 4- Fussy cut elements from the paper collection to go with the theme, and start arranging the elements to form the two clusters.

Step 5- As always, add words/phrases to add meaning to the page. I also added splatter with mica powders mixed with water and Artist Inks.

Here are some close ups of the completed page:

Love Grows Here - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have 2 scrapbook pages to share with you made using lots of fabulous products from the new  Rustic Blossom Collection available at Bee Arty.  

 

 

For the first page I started with a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock and added a watercolour base using Tan Colour Shimmer Dust (mixed with water). 

I added some stencilling using the Rustic Script A4 stencil and Tan Colour Shimmer Dust (a concentrated colour mixed with water and applied with a sponge).  

The photo was matted with papers from the Rustic Blossom Paper Collection Pack. 

I added diecuts using the Blossom Gear metal die and White and Black cardstock.

I then added words cut from the Storytime Paper and fussy cuts from the Owl Remember Paper.

Lastly I added splatters of Tan Colour Shimmer Dust and outlined my page using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.

 

For the second page I started with a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock and added a square watercolour base using Peacock Colour Shimmer Dust (mixed with water). 

I added some stencilling using the Rustic Script A4 stencil and Deep Water Colour Paste. 

I added some stamping using the flower stamp from the Owl Punk stamp set and black Archival ink.

The photo was matted with papers from the Rustic Blossom Paper Collection Pack. 

I added diecuts using the Blossom Gear metal die and White cardstock and Silver Net Mirror Board.

I also added words cut from the Storytime Paper.

Lastly I added splatters of Peacock Colour Shimmer Dust and outlined the painted blue section using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.
