Moonshadows collection designed by Smyth

Moonshine word cardstock (side B)

Dragonfly dance cardstock

Collection cut-out sheet

Borderline A4 stencil

Moondust A5 stencil

Floral Tags metal die

Moonrock metal die

White Cardstock – Bee Arty A4

Bee Arty Shimmer dust – peacock, cobalt, passion

Bee Arty Colour Spray lagoon + drop of grass Colour artist inks

Darice 6 well paint palette

Mini archival ink pad – Garden Patina

Blending tool / foam tip

Modelling paste

Mounting tape

Water colour paints

Paint pen – royal blue

Liquid adhesive

Cut the Moonshine word sheet (side B) down to A4 size.

Rub the Garden Patina (archival ink) through the Moondust A5 stencil using a domed blending tool diagonally across the page (top right to bottom left)

Add a few scoops of Bee Arty Shimmer dust cobalt into modelling paste, add a little white paint to match the blue of the Moonshine cardstock.

Apply the blue modelling paste through the ‘circles’ section of the Borderline A4 stencil with a palette knife in a loose cross shape. Allow to dry.

Add a couple of scoops of Bee Arty Shimmer dust – Passion and one scoop of cobalt Shimmer dust into a Darice 6 well paint palette add some water and mix.

Splatter this mix mostly over the textured stencil area and also paint around the border of the page.

Run the Floral Tags metal die through a diecut machine onto a sheet of A4 White Cardstock – Bee Arty to create 3 tags.

Also run the Moonrock metal die through onto a piece of A4 White Cardstock – Bee Arty. (no image).

Colour one of the backing tag pieces and two of the floral diecuts with passion/cobalt Bee Arty Shimmer dust mix.

Colour the remaining pieces with a watery mix of peacock Bee Arty Shimmer dust.

Add some splatters in same colour over the Moonrock metal die.

Please note ... in hindsight I should have coloured the Moonrock metal die with the cobalt/passion mix so that it stands out on the page ... you may wish to do this instead.

Glue the 3 floral pieces to the tag backings using opposite colours to create focal points.

Fussy cut a few images from the Collection cut-out sheet then colour in with water colour paints.

Cut some thin (7) strips from the leftover piece of the Moonshine word sheet (side B) with paper cutter.

Then loosely weave the strips randomly through the Moonrock metal die cut out to resemble a starburst shape.

Trim to suit the background.

With a royal blue paint pen edge along the strips of paper to visually lift them from the page a little.

Fussy cut several dragonflies from the Dragonfly dance cardstock and some wording from the Moonshine word cardstock. Arrange all the elements on the page then add mounting tape to the tags, goddess image and wording then adhere to the page.

Add detailing with the royal blue paint pen to all the elements (dragonflies, tags, wording) to finish.

I certainly hope you have found some inspiration with my journal page and have been enticed to order this collection for yourself.

Until next time … happy creating!!

Cheers from Linda Pearson

CHANGE HAPPENS .... by Linda Pearson

After some technical glitches my blog for 7th is finally here ....

Welcome to my journal page using the upcoming Embrace Change collection designed by Fiona Partridge.

Embrace Change collection designed by Fiona Paltridge can be ordered soon through Bee Arty subscriptions click these links to subscribe -

Busy Bee – Classic Kit or Queen Bee – Premium Kit

Embrace Change stencils used – wreath A5 and garden poem A6

Embrace Change cutouts from the collection - butterflies (coloured, black and white)

Gesso – Bee Arty heavy primer 250ml (white)

NON-stick craft mat

Colour artist inks – barley, grass

Colour paste – apple of my eye, fire engine

Muslin Cloth

Gel Matt Medium

3D Butterfly ephemera (own stash)

For this page I used a burlap page from the Dina Wakely blue journal however, this process could just as easily be incorporated into a scrapbook page layout, white cardstock or journal book.

Using a palette knife scrap a generous amount of Gesso – Bee Arty heavy primer 250ml (white) over the page. If using burlap or similar protect the under page with some paper towel as the gesso may seep through. Dry off.

Apply some Colour paste – fire engine through the Garden Poem stencil top and bottom of the page. Allow to dry.

Spray or brush some lighter green paint over the gessoed page. Dry off.

Mix some Colour artist inks – grass in with the Colour paste – apple of my eye then apply through the Embrace Change wreath stencil. Allow to dry.

Mix in some Colour artist inks – barley into the Colour paste – apple of my eye to create a brighter yellow colour then using a small wooden stick (or similar) to add some colour to the ‘buds’ surrounding the wreath.

Add black spatters over the page using black paint or ink.

Fussy Cut several butterflies (both coloured and black/white images) from the cut-out paper from the Embrace Change collection, as well as a sentiment card from the paper card.

Adhere some muslin fabric, with matt medium, over part of the wreath where the sentiment card will be placed. Place and adhere the butterflies randomly around the wreath and sentiment card.

Please note, I added some 3D ephemera butterflies from my personal stash also.

Thank you for checking in for my latest post and hope you have fun creating some fabulous pages using the beautiful Embrace Change by Fiona Paltridge collection through subscription; Busy Bee – Classic Kit or Queen Bee – Premium Kit.

Free Spirit...with Belinda Spencer

Hello Bee Arty fans!!

Welcome to my very first post as a creative team member for Bee Arty. I am so excited to be sharing my first project with you.

Today I have a scrapbook layout to share with you using some fabulous products.

'Free Spirit'

So to start this layout I wanted to create a pretty light wash of my favourite aqua colour on the amazing Bee Arty White Cardstock. I half filled a small spray bottle with water and then added 1 drop each of Citrus and Oasis Colour Artist Inks. I spritzed quite a lot onto the background and played around with it by tilting the page this way and that and letting the ink run. Next I dried it off with a heat gun.

I decided the colour wasn't quite strong enough so I added two more drops of each ink to the bottle for a slighter deeper colour. I added another layer using this stronger colour. I also managed to get my spray bottle to add splatters. It may have a dodgy nozzle but I love the effect. I unscrewed the top and used the 'straw' to add even more splatters before drying with the heat gun.

Next I wanted to add a bit more texture and interest to the background so I added some stamping. I used the gorgeous Peony Dreams Clear Stamp with black ink and just partially applied ink to the stamp. I also added some beautiful leafy detail using the All Class Clear Stamp Set with the black ink.

My next step was to create my paper layers that I love to stack behind my photo. For this layout I used the Spread Your Wings Elegant Tags patterned paper. I fussy cut some of the tags, shuffled them around until I was happy with the design and then stapled them together. I prefer to use staples so that I can slip things in and around my stack later. I added this stack to my layout along with a sweet heart and a scroll border from the Desire Metal Die Set as well as some messy thread.

I added a backing to the heart by spritzing some of the background colour onto some extra white cardstock, drying with a heat gun, adhering the heart and fussy cutting.

To finish I added my photo and some flowers. I added a stunning butterfly using the Butterfly Effect Die and a sweet bird on a branch using the Bird Talk Metal Die. I coloured both of these pieces using the same black ink as the stamping. I fussy cut some butterflies, the quote and the title from the Spread Your Wings Word Play patterned paper.

Mixed Media Cards by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team with my inspiration for October, a couple of mixed media cards featuring loads of your favourite Colour Blast by Bee Arty products.

Starting with a lovely bright background of 'smooshed' watercolour inks in bold colours - Slipper, Calypso and Mermaid. I spritzed water over the top once they were dry to re-activate the watercolours, this creates great 'salt' patterns in the colour. Let the background dry thoroughly and then lay your chosen stencil on top - I used 'Organised Chaos' Stencil for the first card along with 'Envy' Colour Paste and 'Directions' stencil for the second card along with 'Dusty Charcoal' Colour Paste.

Let's take a closer look at each card!

Awesome Card - Add some gold accents to your card, I used yellow sparkle embossing powder which gives a fantastic coverage for the title and also the gold accent on the die cut 'Abstract Circles' from Fiona Paltridges new collection. I also smooshed a bit of gold - Bling shimmer spray over the top of my Colour Paste to create gold accents on the stenciled background. Add some dodgy sewing for a bit of texture and you have a finished unique mixed media card.!

Brave card - After stencilling, add some shimmer by spraying Bling Shimmer Spray onto your craft mat and use a makeup sponge or your finger to rub some of the gold spray over the top of your stenciling to create gold shimmery accents. Use the yellow sparkle embossing powder on a spare piece of card and cut some triangles to add to your card. Fussy cut a few of the hanging feathers from the 'Possibility' paper (Follow your dreams collection) and colour using your watercolour inks to match your background.
