 Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is a quick share from me, as it's getting to silly season - ALREADY! I have so many things happening kid wise it is NOT FUNNY!

Anyway, I have only had a chance to play with the Chit Chat Collection based on and inspired by Karyn Schultz's awesome Facebook Live the other week - FIND IT HERE ON THE BEE ARTY HIVE!!

I used all of the different tips, tricks and techniques that Karyn shows us on her Live.  Including stencilling with Bee Arty Artist Inks, stamping on tissue paper 

This is what the background looked like just with the stencilling... I also used bubble wrap to add extra interest. I just LOVE the stencilling technique! How fabulous does it look?

I also loved the tip of doing a few batches of the Chit Chat Dies using Black & White Cardstock and also Kraft. I decided to go with a mix of Black & White Chit Chat Dies.

And as you can see I have used my Inking & stamping technique again on the DIY Hearts.

I also coloured some muslin with the leftover Ink that I had and add it to my page too.

This is my version of Karyn's Live and I really love how it turned out!

I just LOVE the Chit Chat Stencils, Metal Dies & Stamps - these will be used many many times!

Anyway, I hope you will go and give Karyn's Techniques a go & I hope that I've inspired you even more to give it a try! So much FUN!

Thanks for stopping by & hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Take Care & STAY SAFE!

Happy Little Moments by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! It's starting to look like it's getting to "some kind of normal" for us all again & hopefully we will be able to travel freely soon? We would love to visit family & friends in different states without the stress of quarantine!

Today I am sharing with you the layout I created last weekend using the lovely NEW Chit Chat Range! 

I totally love the colour combo here! When I saw the papers I KNEW which photos I was going to scrap first as soon as I saw them! I also had to have a play with colouring and stamping on my DIY Charms as well!

I started off by stencilling with modelling paste onto the fabulous My Heart Paper using NEW Linear & NEW Marked Stencils....

After I have dried with a Heat Gun I have got out the Shimmer Dusts to colour the stencil patterns - I used Lollipop, Peacock & Passion. After they had dried I also outlined in black pen.

I did create a little "quick" video of how I created my layout...

Here is the final layout! As you can see I have also used the Happy Clear stamp & I have also coloured some Muslin using the leftover Shimmer Dust & water I had left in my palette...

You can pop on over to the Bee Arty Hive to see how I coloured and stamped on my Charms DIY Heart HERE! For Some reason it won't upload on the blog!

I chose the Lollipop pink for the layout, the purple was just a bit too dark!

And here are more closeups... PS I did cut out from the Chit Chat Die using leftover Black Cardstock I had left, but only used the one cute speech bubble with the heart in the middle...

Thanks for popping by! I hope I have inspired you to have a play over the weekend!

Happy Scrapping!

Blah Blah Blah - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the new Chit Chat collection from Bee Arty. How cool is this new collection very funky for everyday scrapbooking and art journalling!

 

 I'm playing along with the October sketch challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty online voucher. You have until October 30th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules). 

 

 

I started with the Alpha paper and cut 2 of 1.5"x12" strips from the top.

 

 

 I then turned over the larger piece of Alpha paper and placed the 2 smaller pieces to the top and bottom of the page.

 

 

Next I took the Speak paper and and cut 2 of 1cmx12" strips and use these to attach the papers together.

 

I used the Marked Stencil with Dusty Charcoal Colour Paste to add some stencilling across the page. I love this stencil! It is perfect for mark making on any project. 

 

  

I added a few drops of Soot Colour Artist ink to a mini mister half filled with water and sprayed on the page.

 

 Here is my completed page - along with a gorgeous picture of my girls:)

 

 

 Under my photo I've used some tissue paper that I've painted with navy Colour Shimmer Dust then stamped with Happy stamp set. I've embellished with speech bubble die cuts from the Chit Chat metal die and  Peeps metal die. I've also added pink micro beads, enamel dots, a paper clip and leftover chipboard negatives.

 

 

 The words are cut from the Love Letter paper and the heart is cut from the cover bonus paper in the Chit Chat collection pack.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
