Mixed Media Card by Sunila Mahajan

 Hello lovelies,

Sunila, here and I'm sharing with you all a mixed media layered card today. I show you how I created my background with all the layers in a few steps.

Before we begin, here's a look at the card:

Steps to creating the background:

Step 1- I started with a white 5"x7" water colour paper. I added texture using colour paste and a stencil.

Step 2: I added another colour through a different stencil.

Step3: I sprinkled mica powders on a stencil, misted them with water and took a reverse print on my base. 

Step 4: Using the same stencil, but now placing it on my base I sponged shimmer dust mixed with water. 

Step 5: I added some black doodling along the border. 

Step 6: I used a stamp with the shimmer dust colours and added that as a final step to my background. I then layered some fussy cut elements, sprinkled glitter and completed my card with a sentiment.

Supplies used:

Colour blast Colour paste- Cool Mint, Lovely Lilac

Bee Arty Stencils- Distance, That Way, Party Lights

Bee Arty Mica Powders- Singin the Blues, Polar

Bee Arty Shimmer Dust- Duke, Velvet, Candy

Bee Arty Stamps- Geo grunge

Paper collection- Forever My Always

I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial and project! Hugs! 

Keep Going by Charmane Koch

 Hey Everyone! Hoping your Monday is off to an AWESOME start! I'm guessing some of you will be getting those kids back to school? We still have a week to go, but I LOVE it when my kids are home! No school lunches to worry about, no drop offs & pick ups... just WORK! Ha, ha!

Anyway, today I wanted to share with you my most recent layout loosely based on the April Sketch this month...

I loved all the layering and mix of stamping... so decided to create my background using lots of Bee Arty Stamps & Stencils.

Here is what my base looked like after stamping and stencilling...

I have then added more colour to the page, using similar colours to the Fearless, Brave and Free Confidence paper that I used, Slipper & Oasis in the Artist Inks {with water} and also Polar Mica Powder...

Can you believe I managed to use all of these Stencils and Stamps!

Heres a list of them for you:

Bokeh Clear Stamp

New Dawn Clear Stamp

Wonderful Clear Stamp

Live Life Stencil

Rhythm Stencil

Triangle Spray Stencil

Keep Going Stencil

And this is the final outcome of my layout...

I finished off the page with doodling around the stencilled images & a bit of machine sewing around the edge of the layout & partially around the photos that I matted using Fearless Brave & Free Strength paper

It was so therapeutic creating the background loosely stamping & stencilling! How much fun it is to play with the fabulous Bee Arty Goodies!

I hope I've inspired you to get out a mix of stamps and stencils and create your own background!

Thanks for popping in!

Have a fantastic week!
