Find Joy In your Journey - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

Its Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty in particular the  new Fearless Brave Free Collection designed by Fiona Paltridge.

 

 

I'm playing along with the September creative challenge "Use Pink and Yellow from the Bee Arty Logo". We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty store voucher. You have until September 30 and you need to upload your challenge here.  

 

To start with I create a background on a sheet of Chance patterned paper from the Fearless Brave Free Collection. I wanted to add more mixed media to the already watercolour look design. I painted some Slipper Colour Artist ink onto the Free Hand stencil then stamped it onto the background in places.

 

 

Next I applied Tangereen Dream Colour Paste through the Directions stencil to the page.

 

 

Then I added splatters of Citrus, Cider and Slipper Colour Artist inks across the page.

 

Next I added stamping using the Making your mark stamp set, and Memories stamp set. 

 

I cut out some die cuts using the Frame die and Abstract Circles dies using Strength paper.    

I also coloured white gauze with Citrus Colour Artist ink.   

 

Here is my finished page.

 

I used the Frame die cut around my photo then added the coloured gauze, Butterfly effect diecut and Sweet Floral metal diecut. 

 

 

I also added words cut from the Seeker paper from the Follow Your Dreams collection. 

  

In the bottom right corner I added more diecuts, coloured gauze and a title.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Par-a-dise : With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty!

 

To start with I create a background on a sheet of heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock. I use Colour Mica Powders that I have mixed with Gum Arabic and stored in a pan paint storage tin for easy access. I created a watercolour look background using a painting with plastic technique as well as adding paint splatters. I'm using Cool Mint, Peach Nectar and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders to coordinate with the Find Paradise Collection papers. 

 

 

 

Next I add some stenciling using Cool Mint and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders mixed with modelling paste and the Crab Art stencil.

 

 

 

I cut the white cardstock down to approx 11"x11" and mat it onto a sheet of Light Forest paper that I have cut a square out of the centre (I do this to conserve paper). 

 

 

Here is my finished page. I love the soft muted colour tones of this paper range and the mica powders - so pretty!

 

 

I have matted the photo with more papers from the Find Paradise Collection.

 

 

I created a selection of leaf and flower diecuts using the Leaves of Paradise metal die set and Flower Power die set, using both white cardstock and paper from the Find Paradise Collection.

 

 

I added some paper flowers, art stones and words cut from the Relax word paper.

 

 

A pineapple paper clip is a fun addition to the page.

My Faves and Goodbye

It's my very last post for Colourblast (for now at least 😉) so I though I'd share some of my favourites over the time I've been on the team.

Mostly I like them light and bright...

Sometimes extra inky...

A little tone on tone...

New Watercolours...

Back to Bright!

Although neutrals can be beautiful too...

And my latest is always my favourite 😄

This one was quite restrained colourwise for me...

Total opposite of the norm...

But...back to bright again...

This has been an awesome team to be on, I just LOVE the products and will certainly be continuing to use them and I promise to share when I do 💓

Thanks so much to both Paige and Tenisha for having me!

A Beautiful Moment Captured by Michelle Henderson

Hi my (Bee) Arty friends!

I have an great new page for you today - I'm so in love with it!!

What do you think so far?

I started off with Colour Artist Inks in Sunburnt and Cranberry, both of which I thinned down with so much water as I only wanted a pale colour to match the colour of my cut file. I applied it on the diagonal using smooshing and drips initially, then a brush to draw it out a little. 

I grabbed my Colour Shimmer Powder in Navy and mixed it with water, and lightly brushed some towards the edges of where the cut file was going.

I had some left over, so I dragged a flower mask through the mix and stamped with it here and there. 

At this stage I felt it would be a little strong still, so I drybrushed some Heavy White Gesso very lightly over it with a fan brush. I loved how that worked!

The last part of my background was a thin coat of Blush Colour Paste through a stencil at 3 different points.

I added my cut file, photos and embellies then, all except the bow was Cocoa Vanilla Midnight collection. 

Here's the final page 💕

Thanks for joining me today!

Sweet Little Sucker by Michelle Henderson

Hi all you crafty people!

My latest layout started out as a grid pattern, but I just couldn't bear to cover too much of the background 😁

Here's a wee taste...just look at that sparkle!

I used Colour Artist Inks to tint some Heavy White Gesso, starting with Oasis. I brayered a section with this, applying it quite heavily as I wanted to create some texture with it.

I added some Colour Shimmer Dust in Peacock, and mixed it a little, but not fully so there would be some striations. 

For the pink parts of the grid, I used Slipper Colour Artist Ink and Lollipop Colour Shimmer Dust. 

After that, I used plain Heavy White Gesso through a stencil for added texture.

As a final touch for the background, I splattered a little of the clear Colour Shimmer Marker ❤

I put everything together using some Cocoa Vanilla that was on my desk. I so love this photo of my great niece!

Thanks for visiting!
