 Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is a quick share from me, as it's getting to silly season - ALREADY! I have so many things happening kid wise it is NOT FUNNY!

Anyway, I have only had a chance to play with the Chit Chat Collection based on and inspired by Karyn Schultz's awesome Facebook Live the other week - FIND IT HERE ON THE BEE ARTY HIVE!!

I used all of the different tips, tricks and techniques that Karyn shows us on her Live.  Including stencilling with Bee Arty Artist Inks, stamping on tissue paper 

This is what the background looked like just with the stencilling... I also used bubble wrap to add extra interest. I just LOVE the stencilling technique! How fabulous does it look?

I also loved the tip of doing a few batches of the Chit Chat Dies using Black & White Cardstock and also Kraft. I decided to go with a mix of Black & White Chit Chat Dies.

And as you can see I have used my Inking & stamping technique again on the DIY Hearts.

I also coloured some muslin with the leftover Ink that I had and add it to my page too.

This is my version of Karyn's Live and I really love how it turned out!

I just LOVE the Chit Chat Stencils, Metal Dies & Stamps - these will be used many many times!

Anyway, I hope you will go and give Karyn's Techniques a go & I hope that I've inspired you even more to give it a try! So much FUN!

Thanks for stopping by & hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Take Care & STAY SAFE!

Blah Blah Blah by Tracey Campbell

 Hello Bee Arty people, it's Tracey Campbell here today to share my latest creation using the newest collection Chit Chat, designed by Tanya Frond. A fun and funky range with pretty pinks, greens and purples with black grungy accents perfect for males and females.

I've used it to great a layout about how when Bronte was smaller she loved chatting on the phone to her Dad or Grammy.... doesn't happen much anymore. Teenagers!! 

To start this layout I used the XOXO Stencil and spread some clear gesso on to white cardstock . I placed some Os and hearts in rows across the base.

Once dry apply lines of Artist Inks in Slipper and Mermaid across the page, with a thick paint brush.The clear gesso will resist the Artist Ink. 

Use a paint brush to flick some watered down white gesso across the base. Then repeat with the Mermaid Artist Ink and splatter fine splotches over the base. 

Cut three strips of paper from the She patterned paper, roughly the width of 3.5 cm. Tear off the ends and tear them in half so that you have 6 paper strips. Adhere them across the base, use both sides of the pattern paper.

Using the Road Base Colour Spray flick some liquid over the top of the base.

Using some black Stazon use the rectangular piller stamp form the Scrabble stamp set and press it across the base, over lapping the Artist Ink and She pattern paper. 

Cut 4 rectangles from the She and Chat patterned papers, just slightly larger than a 4x6 inch photo. Distress the edges and angle mat them around the photo. Adhere tot he base, slightly off center, see the final layout for the position.

Fussy cut the two spike speech bubbles from the Speak patterned paper. As I knew I wanted three spiky speech bubbles I drew another one on white cardstock with a black Sharpie pen and then cut it out.

Adhere the spiky speech bubbles around the top right hand corner of the photo. Use the Scrabble piece letters from the Scrabble stamp set and use black Stazon to stamp a title onto one of the speech bubbles. Fussy cut the words Blah, Blah, Blah from the Love Letter title pattern paper and adhere them to the other two speech bubbles.

Use the metal die to cut out a pink and teal female person from the Peeps metal die set and adhere them to the bottom right hand corner. Finish off the page by stamping some heats from the Scrabble stamp set.

Well I hope that you have enjoyed my layout that I have created today with the Chit Chat collection, it is really a versatile range.

Hugs

Happy Little Moments by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! It's starting to look like it's getting to "some kind of normal" for us all again & hopefully we will be able to travel freely soon? We would love to visit family & friends in different states without the stress of quarantine!

Today I am sharing with you the layout I created last weekend using the lovely NEW Chit Chat Range! 

I totally love the colour combo here! When I saw the papers I KNEW which photos I was going to scrap first as soon as I saw them! I also had to have a play with colouring and stamping on my DIY Charms as well!

I started off by stencilling with modelling paste onto the fabulous My Heart Paper using NEW Linear & NEW Marked Stencils....

After I have dried with a Heat Gun I have got out the Shimmer Dusts to colour the stencil patterns - I used Lollipop, Peacock & Passion. After they had dried I also outlined in black pen.

I did create a little "quick" video of how I created my layout...

Here is the final layout! As you can see I have also used the Happy Clear stamp & I have also coloured some Muslin using the leftover Shimmer Dust & water I had left in my palette...

You can pop on over to the Bee Arty Hive to see how I coloured and stamped on my Charms DIY Heart HERE! For Some reason it won't upload on the blog!

I chose the Lollipop pink for the layout, the purple was just a bit too dark!

And here are more closeups... PS I did cut out from the Chit Chat Die using leftover Black Cardstock I had left, but only used the one cute speech bubble with the heart in the middle...

Thanks for popping by! I hope I have inspired you to have a play over the weekend!

Happy Scrapping!

Blah Blah Blah - 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 new Chit Chat collection from Bee Arty. How cool is this new collection very funky for everyday scrapbooking and art journalling!

 

 I'm playing along with the October sketch challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty online voucher. You have until October 30th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules). 

 

 

I started with the Alpha paper and cut 2 of 1.5"x12" strips from the top.

 

 

 I then turned over the larger piece of Alpha paper and placed the 2 smaller pieces to the top and bottom of the page.

 

 

Next I took the Speak paper and and cut 2 of 1cmx12" strips and use these to attach the papers together.

 

I used the Marked Stencil with Dusty Charcoal Colour Paste to add some stencilling across the page. I love this stencil! It is perfect for mark making on any project. 

 

  

I added a few drops of Soot Colour Artist ink to a mini mister half filled with water and sprayed on the page.

 

 Here is my completed page - along with a gorgeous picture of my girls:)

 

 

 Under my photo I've used some tissue paper that I've painted with navy Colour Shimmer Dust then stamped with Happy stamp set. I've embellished with speech bubble die cuts from the Chit Chat metal die and  Peeps metal die. I've also added pink micro beads, enamel dots, a paper clip and leftover chipboard negatives.

 

 

 The words are cut from the Love Letter paper and the heart is cut from the cover bonus paper in the Chit Chat collection pack.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
