DATE NIGHT by Charmane Koch

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! Today I wanted to share with you a layout inspired by the February Moodboard... I was very inspired by the layering in the sketch and the positioning of the photo/s...

I went nuts with my Die cutting machine, cutting out the NEW Bohemian Bliss Fine Feathers & Calendula Die Cuts. I used NEW Bohemian Bliss Harmony & Boho Tags papers & also White Cardstock.

To create my layered background I have started with using the gorgeous Bohemian Bliss Kaleidoscope stencil - I decided to add a bit of Bling Colour Paste - to add a touch of Gold to the page...

I've also stamped the beautiful Bohemian Bliss Wonderful clear stamp onto a piece of White Cardstock that I have also coloured using Just Blue Mica Powder. I've distressed the edges and layered it behind my photos, along with torn cardboard, that I have gesso'd with Heavy White Gesso, then coloured using Punch Mica Powder.

For my title I have used the 365 Alphas - using White Cardstock again, I have then got out some Bling Mica Powder and dabbed onto the letters, giving an extra coat once dry.

And this is the finished product... I hope you like!

I hope I've inspired you to give the sketch a go!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

MANDALA BLISS! by Linda Pearson

 Hi Bee Arters!  

Today's blog is a quick sneaky peak of a mixed media canvas workshop coming up in late March at Shelley's Land craft shop at Rochedale South  (Brisbane, Australia).

The Bohemian Bliss range designed by Sue Smyth are the products highlighted in this mixed media project.

Kaleidoscope A5 stencil

Imagination A4 Stencil

Fine Feathers metal die

White Cardstock 350gsm 10 pack - 12"x12"

The canvas has been created with layers of stenciled colour and paint over a collaged paper base.  

The mandala and borders are added with texture paste mixed with a mystery product and applied using a palette knife.

The feathered strands are decorated with die cuts and other embellishments.

If you would like to know more and create your very own Mandala canvas contact Shelley's Land to book your spot.

Thankyou and I hope you are inspired to create your own Mandala canvas.

Bye for now!
