Be Bold I Mixed Media Layout I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Sunila here and I'm back with mixed media inspiration for you all!

Today, I'm sharing a fun and vibrant layout. We all love scrapbooking and memory keeping. The Bee Arty Paper Collection come handy here. The patterned papers and coordinated elements work well for such projects.

Here's a look at the layout:

I have used the paper and added texture with a stencil, and stamping. A little colour using the micas and then for the layers I've fussy cut elements as well as used dies to cut elements. 

I was inspired by the current challenge on Bee Arty Creative Hive. I incorporated the colours and the sketch.

Using up scraps I Mixed Media I Birthday Card I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello lovelies,

Sunila here, and I'm back with inspiration for you'll. Many times when using paper collections, we end up with odd sized paper scraps that we don't feel like discarding as the pattern is so pretty.

Today, I'm using these to create a layered greeting card. 

Here's a look at the card:

I picked out a pattern paper piece, and depending on its size, I chose my card base size. I like leaving a nice white border on my cards. This time though, I played a lot with the white space.

I cut out pieces that would add the sentiments and layered them. I used the pattern paper to mimic a pocket, to hold the flower bouquet.

I die cut flowers and leaves with other scraps of paper and layered them. I competed it with sequins and mica powder and shimmer dust colour splatter.

I hope you enjoyed this! Follow me on Instragram (@sunilamahajan) for more inspiration!

Steampunk Art Journal I Tutorial I Mixed Media I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Hope you are all doing well! Today, I'm sharing a pictorial with you all. I'm creating a steampunk vibe journal page in my art journal . 

Here's a look at the page:

Let's dive right in into creating this!

Step 1- Choose a stencil and apply colour paste through it. This instantly adds colour and texture to the page. On such a page I usually like to have a big composition on one part of the page and little cluster opposite that. That's how I decide where I want the texture to begin within.

Step 2- To add more texture, pick a background stamp and stamp with ink. Now black ink always works, however since I had a steampunk page in mind, I used brown ink.

Step 3- Choose dies that'll go with the theme of the page, and die cut these to add as embellishments and layers to create the composition clusters.

Step 4- Fussy cut elements from the paper collection to go with the theme, and start arranging the elements to form the two clusters.

Step 5- As always, add words/phrases to add meaning to the page. I also added splatter with mica powders mixed with water and Artist Inks.

Here are some close ups of the completed page:

Stretch your supplies I Mobile Case I Sunila Mahajan

Hello Bee Arty lovelies, Sunila here and I'm back with inspiration for you'll.

Today I decided to create a custom mobile case using my Bee Arty Supplies. With this I want to show you how these supplies aren't limited to paper crafting and can be used to decorate objects we use in our everyday life.

Here's a look at the case:

To create this I'm using a clear mobile case. I've tinted it on the inside with Artist Ink first. I then use coloured collage pieces and apply mod podge to hold them down in place. Since I wanted the quote to be visible, I've first glued that inside and then added colour and other layers. I seal it all with a larger piece of plain white paper, so the pieces not tear when I use the case on my mobile.

Here's a look at it from different angles:

2023 ATC Coins I Mixed Media I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Wishing you all a fantastic 2023! Sunila here and I'm back with a mixed media pictorial for you all!

Today I'm creating mixed media style ATC coins that I can share with my friends at the start of this year. 

Here's a look at them:

Let's dive into the process:

1. I started out by cutting three circles measuring 2.5" on white mixed media paper. I coloured these with Slipper Artist Ink.

2. I added colour paste through a stencil for contrast and texture.

3. I stamped a background stamp with black ink for more texture.

4. I stamped and heat embossed elements for layers. I then fussy cut these. 

5. I tested a few artist inks, and then die cut 2023 for the layering.

6. I added some die cut and fussy cut words to complete these. I mounted them on black card stock with a scallop border. 

Here's a closer look at them:

Sunshine Altered Hoop by Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Hope you're all doing well! Sunila here, and today I'm sharing a pictorial on altering an embroidery hoop. 

I enjoy  mixed media because it opens up plenty of opportunities to play with. Layers, elements, textures all come together beautifully in a single piece. The altered hoop makes for a great home decor piece as well as a gift for someone special.  

Here's a look at the hoop:

Let's begin creating it!

Step 1- I've chosen the Bee The Sunshine Collection for my Hoop. Fussy cut elements, pick out papers for the base and to die cut some elements. Paint the rim of the hoop with Bling Colour Paste. 

Step 2- Die cut elements for the hoop. The round frame makes for a great shaker element. Die cut it several times, adhere together for a thicker layer. Cut a circle on a transparent sheet and white cardstock to back it up for the shaker. I've used a piece from the collection with the quote to back my shaker. 

Step 3: On the base paper, stencil with colour pastes. 

Step 4: Add black stamping on the dried stenciled base.

Step 5- Adhere the hoop onto the base paper. Stamp on the rim of the hoop.

Step 6-  Glue the fussy cut elements, the die cut pieces and the focal shaker element to complete the composition. 

Hope you enjoyed this creation!

Hugs,

Sunila
