Dream on Dreamer by Rikki G

Good morning how are you? Rikki here with another layout using the stunning Bee the Sunshine collection and I just love it, its one of those collections that makes creating with it so effortless.

And what is better than that?

What is your favourite, effortless collection?

You can even follow along with a process video and a step by step below to make a little shaker jar.

Dont forget to follow along with the process video.

To start the background off, use a combination of Tim Holtz Oxide - Saltwater Taffy, Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber, through the Bee Arty Lace Stencil.

Blend out the stencil with the same colours.

Add some details with the Geo Grunge stamp, dont mount the stamp on a block, this will allow it to roll and give you a random effect.

Now its about adding some water and move it around the background a bit, while its still wet add a couple of drops of the Colour Artist Dye Ink - Slipper.

Move that around and when your happy with where it has travelled, add the next colour Citrus.

The more you move it round the more you will end up with a third colour - a custom orange.

Now to make the shaker jar. Cut the center out of the jar from the Summer Days Black and white sheet. Leave yourself enough of an edge to add foam tape and keep it hidden.

Add with glue some transparency and trim to fit the shape of the jar.

So before you rip off the backing tape from the foam mount add your mix on top of the transparency sheet, even add a little fussy cut bee into it.

The mix below is a combination of different size glitters, micro beads and small art stones.

The combinations are endless.

Peel the backing off the foam tape and stick to a piece of pattern paper to seal all the glitter in the jar.

Good evening how are you all? Rikki here on this fine Sunday to share with you my latest creation for Bee Arty and this is for this months current challenge either a moodboard or the sketch or like myself... why not combine the two?

Heres my take in the challenge, you still have plenty time to enter and win !!!

Want to see how it was created? Follow along with a process video.

To start off use a stencil like the Honeycomb Spray Stencil.... to build up the colour in the background I used Tim Holtz Oxide - Pickled Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo.

Stamp Find Your Way to the left hand side of the page with an archival ink.

Follow this up with stamping the right hand side with the Geo Grunge - the one with the Bee, set this aside for layer on.

Now its all about adding your pattern paper layers and to soften you can add some vellum as your last layer.

Add some fussy cut elements from Sunny Days 12x12 Paper.

Add photos and title.

Now with the Geo Grunge Stamp - stamp though out the background randomly, if you keep your stamp unmounting it will help with the random effect.

Now its time to get messy with Colour Artist Dye - Slipper, Citrus, and Spiced.

Flick over the background and dilute in places with water.

Dont forget to cover your photo.

To finish off use Shimmer Spray - Bling with a brush flick and let it run like honey.....

So why dont you join us in this challenge, just follow the link:

Dont Cry - Rikki G

Good morning how are you? Rikki here today with my latest creation, this time based on this months challenge, and I have to say this was one of those ones which there was no plan and a one point I wasnt sure it would evolve into anything else.

Have you ever started a layout like that?

Enjoy and don't forget to upload your entries here:

To kick things off I need to make my paint colours, this time I want something shimmery, sparkly and to do that you need Colour Mica powder and Gum Arabic....

It doesnt matter if its is the powdered or liquid Gum Arabic but you do need it, its a binding agent for your mica, you will find if you do it with just water once dry it the micas will rub off, the Gum Arabic is like a glue keeping things in place.

All shimmer based mists have this ingredient in them, to make sure your amazing colour just doenst rub off.

So the general rule of thumb is equal Gum Arabic to your mica powder and water - warm water works better when mixing your paint.

Now its time to get messy, and this process will take a while as I dont tend to use a heat gum to speed the process up as I find the shimmer from the powder comes up to the surface more and you dont see the under colours.

So I use this time a zen moment and work the paint around the page.

Now if your after more pigment in your mica paints you can add that using the Colour Artist Dye Ink like you can see in the orange section it was a little gold for my liking I wanted more of a orange tone, so I just added a couple of drops in my mica powder mix and it became a richer colour.

Once dry now the messing and arty bit happens, I used a light grey ink for the stamping, you could use black but I am after a ghosting effect rather than something heavy.

I havent mounted the larger Geo Grunge stamp for a reason I allows me when I am stamping to kind of roll it so I get little pockets of details rather than a big crisp image.

Now grab a Stabilo pencil or even a water colour pencil, this is the time to doddle over the top of details in the ghosted stamping.

You can add details in, more circles more crosses, add larger cirlces by tracing around different size circle objects.....

You can wet the pencil work to bleed it out or, just smug it with your finger.

Now you have your background, time to build the layout.....

Splash some Bling Shimmer spray and Black Artist Dye ink to tie your layers together, dont forget to cover your photo.

The rest of the layout is just chipboard, metal charms and art stones, I used Tim Holtz Oxides on the chipboard to make it look like rust and when you splatter with your Artist ink and Shimmer spray your get some amazing water bubble effects.
