Little Me...with Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout inspired by the fabulous March Mood Board featuring some awesome Bee Arty products.

Here's a peek at the mood board.

To start my layout, I cropped a sheet of Positive paper from the Fearless, Brave and Free collection by Fiona Paltridge and added it to a sheet of Bee Arty White Cardstock. I just love the watercolour style designs in this range so much. They make perfect background papers just as they are or you can build upon them with a bit of mixed media. 

Next I used the Grungy Splat A5 Stencil to add a couple of huge splats to the background. I mixed up a bit of a concoction of Snow White Colour Paste + White Heavy Gesso + Slipper and Citrus Colour Artist Inks and used that with the stencil to create soft pink splats. (I apologize for the photo editing!! It has made my splats look more cream than pink).

Once the splats were dry, I added some more stencilling using the stars from the That Way A4 Stencil and another homemade concoction of Snow White Colour Paste + White Heavy Gesso + Oasis Artist Ink.

I added some stamping next using the 'bubbles' from the Making Your Mark Red Rubber Stamp Set and some Archival Ink. I used the Netted Metal Die to create a 'fishing net' to add next. I used a long arm stapler to attach to the page. Much easier than glue!

I cropped some pieces from the Comfort Zone and Confidence papers and stacked behind my photo.

I added my title cut from the Within paper and the Lines paper from the Untangle collection. I used Thickers for the 'ME'.

I used the That Way stencil again with Distress Oxides to stencil some stars onto a spare sheet of white cardstock. I fussy cut and added those to the layout as well as a Charm's Creations star to finish.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are feeling inspired to have a play with the mood board this month too.

Cheers

Belinda

It's A Girl Thing - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty in particular the Untangle Collection designed by Tanya Froud. 

 

Recently I've been enjoying creating with some of the older collections and for this page I was inspired by the amazing "Making Your Mark" stamp set. I loved this collection so much I went back and bought all the other stamps, stencils and metal dies :)

 

  

I'm playing along with the December creative challenge "All Things Girl or Boy". We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty store voucher. You have until December 31 and you need to upload your challenge here.  

 

 I have 2 daughters so I focussed on the "Girl Thing". I have a Silhouette Cameo that I dont often use so I thought I would get back to using it and create a simple title for my page. I thought about where I wanted the title to go and I wrote up the text in the software and cut it out on a sheet of heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock. I then backed the words with the Tangled paper from the Untangle Collection.

 

Next I stamped around the edge of the paper using a stamp from the  "Making Your Mark" stamp set. 

  

 Then I painted around the edge using Lillipop and Sunflower Colour Shimmer dusts.   

 

Here is my completed page. I used 4 different photos of my girls and I shopping and enjoying cocktails.

 

 

 I fussy-cut some flowers from the Embrace paper to add to the page. I also added some sweet floral diecuts and words cut from the Mantras paper. These black words are quick and easy to add to any project! A few wood veneer embellishments were a final addition to the page.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
