Katy you're a Firework!

 

Hi Bee Arters ... Today I am highlighting the new FIREWORKS collection designed by Queenie Y @ Silluart Studios  and being released tomorrow. 

For your opportunity to grab this and other upcoming collections, subscribe to the Bee Arty kits today ...  Join kit club 

This collection provides great opportunities to celebrate special occasions in a fun and very cute way.  As an art journaler and mixed media artist I looked at this collection with a different lens - Firework was a very successful song by Katy Perry and is a great addition as 'dance party music' so I created a journal page with the chorus lyrics as a link to the collection.  Of course a photo could be used to create a celebration layout.  Enjoy the process and hope you have lots of fun with this collection.

Textured background –

small amounts of Colourblast Shimmer dust – passion, lollipop, amber to the paste, mix thoroughly.

b)  Carefully spread the mixes through the Fireworks A4 stencils creating a rainbow effect e.g. begin with passion mix, then lollipop mix in middle with amber at the end of the spray/stars. I added the paste across the top of the page. Allow to dry.

 

c)     Once dry, brush a small amount of Modge Podge dimensional magic over the textured stencilled areas to create some shine to the fireworks.

d)     Add Music A6 stencil to the remaining parts of the cardstock using Gesso, a makeup sponge or dauber  by lightly pouncing the gesso through the stencil. Dry off.

e) Add some fire burst ‘ghost’ stamping around the sheet using the Uppercase stamp set and black ink.

b)    Write the Chorus lyrics of the song to the page (type or write onto cardstock if preferred).  Add a loose (double border around the text using black paint pen, then colour using the same colours as before).

   

Focus Image/Photo -

a)     Cut out the rocket tag from Showtime Tag Sheet, add an image/photo cut to size to fit inside the white area of the tag.  Cut out three ‘rockets’ from the Bunting (rockets).  Then die-cut the Party metal die and the party hat from the Fireworks Cardstock – Big hugs paper (back - quad sheets) and the words dance party music from the  Colourful word sheet.

b)     Mount the photo tag to the bottom of the page using thick mounting tape, then adhere the rockets, party hat and bunting to the page.  Add the words sentiment to the image also.

c)     Add a border to the cardstock sheet using the violet and black paint pens.

Thanks for stopping by and look forward to creating again for you soon.

Cheers from Linda

Sweet Little Sucker by Michelle Henderson

Hi all you crafty people!

My latest layout started out as a grid pattern, but I just couldn't bear to cover too much of the background 😁

Here's a wee taste...just look at that sparkle!

I used Colour Artist Inks to tint some Heavy White Gesso, starting with Oasis. I brayered a section with this, applying it quite heavily as I wanted to create some texture with it.

I added some Colour Shimmer Dust in Peacock, and mixed it a little, but not fully so there would be some striations. 

For the pink parts of the grid, I used Slipper Colour Artist Ink and Lollipop Colour Shimmer Dust. 

After that, I used plain Heavy White Gesso through a stencil for added texture.

As a final touch for the background, I splattered a little of the clear Colour Shimmer Marker ❤

I put everything together using some Cocoa Vanilla that was on my desk. I so love this photo of my great niece!

Thanks for visiting!

Be True 2 You by Michelle Henderson

Hello all!

I have a quick project for you here today.

Here's a little preview..😉 

I started out with a couple of my favourite Colour Artist Inks  - Spice and Cranberry. I thinned them down a lot as I wanted a watercolour look.

I combined them to get the colour I wanted, then smooshed them on to my cardstock.

The next step was to mix a little Colour Artist Ink in Mermaid in with some moulding paste and apply it through a stencil.

Before it dried I dropped a little Bling Colour Embossing Powder on to the paste, then heated it to activate it at the same time as drying the paste.

After that I used some papers from my stash to put the whole page together...

See? Told you it was a quick one today! 

Sometimes we need to just not overthink things...

Anyway, hope you like it!
