Be Fearless by Ros Aggett-Madley

Hi everyone, thanks for popping over today.  Today's share is all about no waste, made white scraps and left over product from previous projects.

                           

I've created a tag for my share that started with a few things made from some left overs.  The tag itself was covered in with some left over Midnight and Cobalt Shimmer Dusts mixed with water.  

The honeycomb piece was made from a piece I'd painted with some Heavy Black Gesso left over from a project.  I've then used this to mop up excess liquid from the Antique Shimmer Pen that I used on my last project.

After using the Honeycomb Die I set aside the middle pieces for a future project because they look like gorgeous little sequins.

My butterfly started on a scrap piece of paper which I have covered in embossing fluid.  I added a few layers of  Bling Embossing Powder so it was nice and thick.  While still hot I have pressed it with the script stamp form the Memories Stamp Set.  

I then die cut this with the Butterfly Effect Die.

.

I have splashed the background with a little watered down Heavy White Gesso.

If you click here or on the photo below it will take you to another project I did a couple of years ago.  Same technique with embossing powder but this time I used it for the title on my page. 

Hope you've been inspired 💙

You are Loved II Chrissi Mannix

 Hello Lovelies

Chrissi here, and today I am playing with the Untangle Collection. 

I tend to use white cardstock alot, soplaying with the Pattern Paper in this collection was very different for me. Because I couldn't help myself, I started with some white texture paste and the Boxed In stencil.

Then I added some of my favourite Calypso Artist Ink. I love the way the ink moves around the texture paste. Such a great effect with very little effort.

I layered my photo on more of the pattern paper, then used the Cut a part sheet to embellish and also add my title. I loved working with this Pattern paper- So my style.

Untangle Products I have Used-

Tangled 12x12 Paper 

Embrace 12x12 Paper

Mantra 12x12 Paper

Boxed In a5 Stencil

If you would like to see how I put the layout together, check out the video on Youtube.

Happy Scrapping

Dream Big Layout by Julie Schinkel

 Hi everyone, I'm back sharing a quick and easy layout using nothing but a Shimmer Cube and some dies.

 

All you need to do is wet your shimmer cube, paint it onto some scrap plastic packaging and smoosh it onto some white cardstock. Concentrate on the top left and bottom right of the photo area. The colour I have used is Just Blue. You could also use the Colour Blast Just Blue Mica Powder mixed with water or the Colour Blast Just Blue Shimmer Spray if you don't have the shimmer cube.

 

Mat your photo using some of the dark blue paper from the Aim High Reach 12x12 paper.

Cut out two die cuts from the Aim High Reach 12x12 paper. I've used the reverse side in the blue area underneath the cogs. Cut another two using the Aim High Explore 12x12 paper. I've used the basket weave print on the reverse side. Cut in half where the two biggest flowers meet.

Cut four die cuts from the Aim High Reach 12x12 paper - one using the full flower and three half flowers from the Flowers Metal Die Set. Trim off the excess from the half flowers.

Cut three die cuts using white glitter cardstock - one using the full flower and two half flowers from the Flowers Metal Die Set. Trim off the excess from half flowers.

Cut out the "Dream Big" from the Aim High Dream Big 12x12 Word Sheet. I've kept the dark blue border to tie it with the rest of the layout.

Assemble layout as shown.

Par-a-dise : 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!

 

To start with I create a background on a sheet of heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock. I use Colour Mica Powders that I have mixed with Gum Arabic and stored in a pan paint storage tin for easy access. I created a watercolour look background using a painting with plastic technique as well as adding paint splatters. I'm using Cool Mint, Peach Nectar and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders to coordinate with the Find Paradise Collection papers. 

 

 

 

Next I add some stenciling using Cool Mint and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders mixed with modelling paste and the Crab Art stencil.

 

 

 

I cut the white cardstock down to approx 11"x11" and mat it onto a sheet of Light Forest paper that I have cut a square out of the centre (I do this to conserve paper). 

 

 

Here is my finished page. I love the soft muted colour tones of this paper range and the mica powders - so pretty!

 

 

I have matted the photo with more papers from the Find Paradise Collection.

 

 

I created a selection of leaf and flower diecuts using the Leaves of Paradise metal die set and Flower Power die set, using both white cardstock and paper from the Find Paradise Collection.

 

 

I added some paper flowers, art stones and words cut from the Relax word paper.

 

 

A pineapple paper clip is a fun addition to the page.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

"Note to Self" by Anita Enright

WOW!!! I can't believe it is August already!!

I hope you are loving all the inspiration that the Bee Arty design is bringing you.  And thank you all for supporting an amazing Australia company.

For my share today I created a very simple and bright page for my art journal.

I love playing with the artist inks as they are just so so rich in colour.... and of course I had to use my absolute favourite stencil.

I always apply a coat or two of Heavy White Gesso to my art journal page just to give it some more protection particularly when I am using very wet mediums.

After the gesso dried fully I then lightly sprayed with water and took several of my favourite Artist Inks and dropped several droplets of colour on the page and tipping and tilting the pages assisted with the movement of the colour.  In a couple of spots I used a wet brush to move and blend the colours.

I dried with a heat tool and then applied more colour to add more depth and strength.

When I created my page I didn't ensure the Artist Inks were completely dry before I applied my Mandela stencil to the page.  It didn't matter in the end as the paste picked up the colours a little and soften the overall effect.  I added some background stamping in black using the Textiles and Live Your Art clear stamps.  The wording I used on the page came from the Mantas Word Sheet from the Untangle collection. The black and white strip and doodle offcuts from around the wording I attached to the edges of the page. I finished the page just drawing around the outer edge around the wording with a black pen.

Unlock Your Dreams by Tracy Jackson

Good morning Bee Arty fans...

Today I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to play with a paper range and one stamp.

 

I decided the amazing Time Flies collection was yelling at me to play with so I have an art journal page to show your this week featuring just its amazing paper range and in a fortnight I will be back to show you a card using the same paper range.

So to start with I loved this image the moment I saw her. She was a little bigger than I first thought, maybe a little to big for a card, but perfect for an art journal. You can find this sheet called Time -  Cut and Colour

I coloured her in copics and pencils - picking up the colours that the collection is in.

This paper she is on was a pleasant surprise, it was a dream to work with alcohol markers on

Image done - time to work on background.

I teared and glued paper called Dream down. but not before cutting all the edges that looked like rivets as I wanted these to frame the art journal.

Using stamp called Metal Plates I roughly stamped here and there. I didn't want it perfect, none of my art journals have perfectly stamped backgrounds.

I then fussy cut elements from Time Flies collection pack

After moving the elements around several times and finally deciding on final placement I glued them down

I did using a little bit of Mica Powder - Leather, to make everything pop a little, but you cant really see it in the photos. I hope you have enjoyed looking through my step by step and it has given you some inspiration to give something similar a go.

Until next time... Happy crafting

Today is full of possibilities by Ros Aggett-Madley

Hi, hope you're all well 💙

Today I started with some mixed media paper and have used the Honeycomb Stencil with an embosser dauber.  This has then been sprinkled with Snow White Embossing Powder and heat set.  

                                

I have then used some water with some Shimmer Dust and painted over the honeycomb, the embossing powder acting as a resist.

Then some Heavy Black Gesso has been used with the Owl and the Pussy Cat Stencil.  I love that this stencil can be put on different angles for alternate looks. 

                                           

Once dry, I used a white pen to edge around my stencilling and then primed the Antique Shimmer Pen and splashed that around the tree branches.

The outside of my page has then been edged with black gesso.

Hope you've been inspired 💙
