"Mask On" by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! Hopefully it is anyway! I know I am glad it's Friday! I have 5 more days of work including this one, then it is HOLIDAY TIME! CAN>NOT>WAIT!

Today I thought I would share a layout I have been meaning to finish for ages! It went through a long process... firstly a while back I had a play with combining Colour Paste Snow White with Embossing Powder (I had excess of a mix of different Embossing powders I didn't want to throw out!} so I did a couple of backgrounds using Bee Arty Stencils... {check this blog post out!}

So I have had this background in my stash for quite a while. I used the Boxed In Stencil. I also have had the Covid papers to use for a while too, I knew I wanted to document Mask wearing, although had NO IDEA we would be wearing masks for so long! If you want to document Covid - there is an amazing Step by Step Mini Album you can create - FIND THE COVID MINI ALBUM HERE!

To colour my title, I have used a shimmer cube & a splash of water... here's a quick video... you could also use Shimmer Dust and water to create a similar effect!

I love the effect the Snow White Colour Paste and the Embossing Powder creates!

As you can see I have also added the Distance Stencil using the Envy Colour Paste. I did test out a few different Colour Paste colours to work out which one would match the best...

Loved the little Cut-Outs from the Covid Papers -

And here is the final layout! Lots of journalling on this one!

Thanks again for popping in & I hope I have inspired you to experiment with Snow White Colour Paste & Embossing Powders! It truly does give an awesome effect!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all!

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.
