Sweet but Sassy by Charmane Koch

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Hoping life is treating everyone well!

Today I am sharing with you a layout that has been WEEKS in the making! I've had this layout ready to go in my head but do you think I could execute it in REAL LIFE??? Not sure what the deal was, but it has finally come together & I just LOVE the outcome of it!

I had a few ideas in my head with this one - the Moonshadow Stencil I thought would make great "bubbles" I also was loving the thought of using the silver Mirror board to create "silvery bubbles" too...

I also wanted to create a 3D/layered effect so thought I would get out some ripped cardboard to gesso and colour with shimmer dusts/mica  powders...

I went on a bit of a Die Cutting frenzy using Silver Mirror Board & also white Cardstock...

I used the Calendula, DeVine, Moon Rock and the Good Time/Great Day Dies...

I test ran the colour combo for my cardboard... I used Peacock & Passion Shimmer Dusts, and also a touch of Steel Mica Powder too...

I gesso'd the Chipboard heart & little words, then used the leftover mica/shimmer dusts to match the cardboard... the heart I coloured roughly to match the rustic look of the cardboard.

I coloured the Wood Veneer letters without using gesso as I wanted them to be darker - I used the Cobalt Shimmer Dust for these.

My finishing touches to this layout was to add more of the Silver Mirrorboard Dies... tucked under and around the page...

The words were perfect for this too!

Once I got it out and positioned where I wanted everything it all worked out in the end!

I'll definitely be doing similar layouts as I still have a couple more photos!

How stunning is the Moondshadows range by the way???

Thanks for popping by & I hope I have inspired you!

Free Spirit - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

Its Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Bohemian Bliss Collection from Bee Arty.  

 

 

The base of my page is created with the Market Days paper. This paper is so pretty I decided not to add any mixed media to the page. Diecuts have been created using the String leaves metal dies, the Calendula metal die and the Fine Feathers metal die in white cardstock as well as paper offcuts from the paper collection.

 

I've added three 7.5cm x 10cm photos mounted on Dreamcatcher paper. I've fussy cut lots of flowers from the paper collection and added words cut from the Sweet Talker paper. 

 

For those of you in the kit club you will recognise embellishments from the kit. I've painted a chipboard frame from the kit using white gesso, then Polar colour mica powder. I've filled the metal charm with sequins, and added a strip of trim across the bottom of the page.

 

Here is my completed page.

 

  

Here are some close ups.

Fun Times - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Bohemian Bliss Collection from Bee Arty.  

 

  

 I started with a sheet of heavyweight 350gsm white cardstock. I wanted to add a light wash of yellow to the background so I mixed 1 drop of Citrus Colour Artist Ink to a half a mini-mister of water. I then sprayed it across the page and let it drip down the page. You can add more ink to get a more vibrant colour. 

  

When this had dried I added splatters of  Citrus Colour Artist Ink.

Here is my completed page. I just love the Bohemian Bliss collection - the dies are so delicate and I love love love the flowers!

 

 

I've fussy cut lots of flowers and butterflies from the paper collection and added white diecuts using the Calendula metal die and words cut from the Sweet Talker paper.

 

I've added a barcode strip from the Free Vibe paper sheet, a white die cut from the Fine Feathers metal die and added a flower and metal charm from the kit. If you look closely at the metal charm you can see that it has a transparent yellow center - I created this by adding a mix of Citrus Colour Artist Ink and gloss gel.   

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
