Colour Blast by Bee Arty: Flower power die

Obsession by Charmane Koch

Happy Tuesday! Today I wanted to share with you a layout I created using stencilling with Black Gesso and gorgeous stamps to create a background...

I wanted to create a "girly" type of background to emphasise my daughter love of getting piercings... so I started off by lightly rubbing through Black Gesso using the "My Lady" stencil - but only using the flowers & leaves...

I have then used the really awesome "Zen" stamp - It's just totally gorgeous and it will be one that I will use forever! It's so cool! And I think it really goes well with a teenager type layout or even would be awesome as a card too...

I've then used a couple of different dies - Sweet Floral & Flower Power - that I have tucked under the photo matte to create more interest and a 3D effect....

I used Sienna Mica Powder to colour the Sweet Floral Die & also Muslin - quite a watered down version, so not to be too intense, and I think it gives a nice colouring.

I machine stitched around the photo matte & added a Charms Creations to finish it off, and journalling of course.

The paper I used was from the Destination Anywhere Collection.

What I've used:

And here is the full layout!

Thanks for popping in to check it out!

'Friends' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

My turn up on the blog today with my latest inspiration for you, a bright and funky scrapbooking page.

My layout features loads of awesome Bee Arty products and also includes a few of the bright backgrounds I created during my tutorial video shown on the Colour Blast Bee Arty Facebook recently.

I went with a blue, teal, green and yellow colour scheme for my layout and utilised a lot of the Bee Arty Dies to create both my background and my main embellishments, those awesome colourful flowers.

Here is the link to my recent video on how to create the backgrounds on photo paper ready for you to use on a layout.

Get Inky with Elisa - Creating backgrounds with Watercolour inks and photo paper

Let's take a closer look at the layout!

TIP: Die cut using white watercolour cardstock and use your watercolour inks to custom colour to suit your layout.

TIP: Die cut your flowers in both black cardstock and your photo paper backgrounds and mix and match the die cut pieces to create different flowers.

TIP: If you are using a background texture stamp like a hexagon or beehive pattern (any 'open style' pattern) use a small round paintbrush and your inks to colour parts of the stamp in, this ties it into your layout
