Adventure by Charmane Koch

Happy 22/02/2022! We won't see that again will we?

Hope everyone is getting into the swing of things for 2022! Can't believe it's going to be MARCH next WEEK! How does that even happen?

Anyway, today I am sharing with you a layout I created combining Road Trip & Embrace Change Collections - as they can blend in together really well - as you can see with this layout!

I thought the Exclusive cutouts from the Road Trip Collection were cute, so cut some of the leaves out, as I had in my head an Australian gum tree themed layout.

Using the Road Trip - Scenic paper as my base, I scraped some Jungle Colour Paste using a spatula over the top of the Cascading Leaves Stencil...

Once dried with a Heat Gun, Jungle is such a gorgeous colour!

This layout was quite easy to put together! All I did was matte my photos with Kraft cardstock and layer the cut out gum leaves, and also some "Old Leaves" Die cut outs using Kraft cardstock. I also had cut out a Grungy Film Strip

To create my title I used the Road Trip Words "Adventure" colouring it with Bling Mica Powder & Water.

I added my trademark swirly kitchen twine with a few staples... and of course a Charms Creations Heart to finish off the layout! 

Here's what I have used...

Thanks for stopping by & hope I have inspired you to create an Australian themed layout!

Take Care & Stay Safe!

Travel 2 Escape by Charmane Koch

 

Hello Everyone! 

Today I am sharing with you a layout I created based on the Kraft Plus Challenge for January - using Kraft and something to do with Travel... so I thought Destination Anywhere Collection would be perfect!

It's a layout I also scraplifted of my gorgeous friend and fellow Bee Arty Creative Team Member  Amanda Hartmann!

I made a video! 

I started off with the Kraft Cardstock background where I had stencilled where I had stencilled on the Triangle Spray using some modelling paste.  I have then used the fabulous Bling Colour Paste scraping it through the AWESOME Capture Stencil.

I have also used the Happy Stamp, stamping "Happy Little Moments" & "Today is a perfect day"

Also I have cut out the Grungy Film Strip die, using the Destination Anywhere Journey Scrapbooking Paper. A piece of the same paper I have used as the backing for the photo.

The Road Trip Words Die "travel & escape" were perfect for my title, so I cut them out using Black Cardstock so that it would stand out.

I was going to use torn strips of cardboard along the top and the bottom of my layout but I decided to use strips of the "Let's Go" Scrapbooking paper.

I've cut out the tags from the Destination Anywhere kit, and inked the edges and added my journalling...

And some closeups over the layering...

I got out my Bling Mica Powder just to add a bit of gold here and there over the page....

And here is the end result! I really love how it has turned out so rich & golden! 

Anyway, I hope I've inspired you to get out your Destination Anywhere papers & dies & stencils, and maybe even your Bling Colour Paste... or if you don't have any of these things YOU NEED THEM! So get shopping!

Take Care, Stay Safe XO Charm

To The Moon and Back with Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the stunning NEW Embrace Change collection by Fiona Paltridge.

To start my layout I cropped a sheet of the Gathering patterned paper to my preferred size and mounted on a cropped sheet of the fabulous 350gsm white cardstock. I then spritzed the page with Road Base Colour Blast Colour Spray and water. I played around with the colour on the page letting it drip down the layout. I also removed the nozzle from the bottle and flicked some of the Road Base over the page.

Once the page was fully dry, I then added stencilling using the gorgeous Cascading Leaves A5 Stencil and Stormy Weather Colour Blast Colour Paste.

I set the page aside to dry before adding some stamping using Jet Black Archival Ink with a stamp from the Say It Stamp Set. I added another layer of stencilling using the That Way A5 Stencil with Snow White Colour Paste.

Here you can see the awesome shimmer and shine from the Snow White Colour Paste. I love it!

And here is my finished layout.

I added lots of fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Embrace Change patterned papers as well as some pretty butterflies. I die cut the Grungy Filmstrip from the 350gsm white cardstock and added it behind a piece of the patterned paper. I also used the Autumn Trio dies to cut some leafy twigs from the patterned paper.

I cut the title and quote from the patterned papers too.

Made With Love by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty Fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty inspired by the May Mood Board and featuring lots of gorgeous Colour Blast product.

Here's a reminder of the gorgeous inspiration for this month:

For this layout I worked with the stunning Grateful Heart collection. I cropped a sheet of the Hope patterned paper to size and mounted on the fabulous white cardstock for extra sturdiness.

I mixed up a concoction of Snow White Colour Blast Paste, Peacock Colour Shimmer Dust and Black Heavy Gesso for the darkest colour in the mood board and added to the page using the Rhythm A5 Stencil. I used a soft wet paintbrush and a water spray bottle to manipulate the product on the page letting it drip down the page and moving it around until I was happy with the coverage.

I diluted down the mix with some water and flicked it over the page too with the soft paintbrush.

Next I added some messy thread to my page and some pretty flowers that I coloured and fussy cut from the Together patterned paper. To colour the fussy cut image I used Colour Sprays in Lagoon, Saffron and Sunset. I mixed the Saffron and Sunset to achieve the pretty peach colour and diluted with a little water.

Once dry, I added the fussy cut image to the page.

Next I decided I needed a little more detail in the background so I used some of the leftover mix from the background stencilling, diluted it with water and painted it onto the Bokeh Stamp before stamping on my page. I love the messy watercolour effect this gives.

I painted a birdcage, page tabs and cute mason jars from the Family and Gathers patterned papers with the same colours as the main floral image and fussy cut those too. I sprayed an extra piece of white cardstock with the Saffron Colour Spray, let dry completely and then die cut the small die from the Grungy Filmstrip Die Set.

'Made With Love'

I added all of these pieces to my layout along with some more pieces fussy cut from the patterned papers including my title and quote. To finish I added some enamel dots from my stash.

Arrival - Art Journalling With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using the Destination Anywhere collection from Bee Arty. 

 

I created this page in my DWM Multi Media Journal on a Calico page. I painted clear gesso over the calico first (to stop the ink from going through the page). Then I painted Rust and Walnut Colour Artist ink across the page using a painting with plastic technique.

 

 

 Next I used the Capture Stencil with Leather Colour Paste.

 

 

 Then I added stamping using the Watermark stamp set and Rust and Walnut Colour Artist ink . I used a paintbrust to paint the ink onto the stamp, then stamped it on the page. 

 

 

 Here is my finished page. The image is a picture I found online and printed out on photo paper. Under the picture I added elements cut from the Arrival paper from the Destination Anywhere paper collection. I've also added a Grungy Filmstrip die cut on 350gsm white cardstock and painted with Rust Colour Artist ink. The page title was cut from the Parcel paper.

 

 

 Here are some close-ups of the page. I love how it turned out, It's one of my fav art journalling pages!

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
