Shine Bright with Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!!

It's Belinda with you today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the awesome NEW Electric Dreams Mini Collection.

I just love the vibrant colours in the paper collection as well as all of the funky fluro mixed media products.

For this layout, I first mixed up some Fluro Yellow Mica Powder with distilled water in a mini mister. I used one of the fabulous craft powder spoons to scoop some of the mica powder into the mini mister, added the water and then shook it up until all of the powder was incorporated. Next I spritzed it liberally over my page.

Once the layout was dry, I then added some stencilling using the Grungy Splat A5 Stencil and the Fluro Orange, Pink and Yellow Colour Pastes.

I added some stamping using the Going My Way Clear Stamp Set and Jet Black Archival Ink. I added a photo stack using some of the patterned papers from the collection under my photo.

I fussy cut some of the plus signs from a sheet of patterned paper in the collection and added those to the layout too.

I stamped some stars on the layout using star stamps from the same stamp set and Hero Arts Neon Inks.

I also stamped some of the stars onto extra 350gsm White Cardstock, fussy cut and added to the layout along with a couple of Charm's Creations Fluro embellishments.

Finally I added some quotes cut from the patterned paper.

Don't Speak by Ros Aggett-Madley

Hi everyone, hope you are all still staying safe and also warm.

I make these backgrounds sometimes where I just lay down some water and what ever I have near me.  This time it was some Bubblegum Colour Artist Spray and some Mermaid (yummmm) and Calypso Colour Artist Ink.   I let it just sit on top of the page and then squash another piece of card on top to make a couple of prints, just like I remember doing in primary school.

I make multiple of these and sometimes take them to work and doodle a little on my breaks.  This is how this girl started, filling in time at 3 in the morning and I just could not get her mouth to work.  I made a mess of her but couldn't bring myself to ditch her so took her home and threw her into the 'one day I'll finish that' pile.

She wouldn't stop looking at me though so I just went with it.  

I have used the That Way Stencil to add a star where her messy mouth was.   This was done with some Heavy Black Gesso and a sponge and outlined in white pen.

I have again used the Black Gesso and a sponge, this time with the Grungy Splat Stencil.  

I added some more colour to her eye with some Calypso that was not watered down and when dry, went over the top of the eye with a Clear Shimmer Pen.  

The little ...Shh at the bottom is some Scrap FX alpha transparency. 

Hope you've been inspired 💙
