You make me happy - by Tracy Jackson

Good morning Bee Arty fans...

I'm back again to show you a nice simple card and tag set

I have been eyeing up these stamps for a while now and finally got my hands on them. Its perfect for all you card makers out there who love colouring. Its called "You make me Happy" which is mounted with firm red rubber. It makes a nice crisp outline when stamped which is always a winner in my eyes.

So after stamping the flowers several times and the words with Memento Ink so my copics wouldn't run I was ready to colour.

7 flowers later... time to find my scissors for a bit of fussy cutting while watching a TV program

At this stage I decided the centers needed a bit of bling, so out comes the Shimmer pen which I love, its mess free and easily adds some blingy goodness

So next I picked out a background paper which I cut from Love & Grace collection, I played around with the arrangement of flowers and words until I was happy

At this stage I had 1 flower left so made a tag by cutting one out from the same paper collection, added a bit more detail by stamping a stamp from the Textiles stamp set

After drawing my boarder around the outside, finding a word and a few leaves from the same paper collection I cut and inked all the edges then put my card and tag together.

Hope you have enjoyed this card and tag set. I love how it turned out, and will defiantly be getting a lot of use out of this stamps set

Happy Crafting

'Get in the Picture!' by Amy C

Hi everyone, Amy here with you today.

I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty.

This month's challenge was the inspiration for my page - 'Get in the Picture'.

Take a look at the challenge...

...and this is my take on it...

To start, I took a sheet of 12 x 12 heavy white cardstock. Using a grey lead pencil, I drew a square - this was going to be my working space for the background.

Next I used a brayer to apply some Black Heavy Gesso. As pictured, I applied the paint inside my square.

The black Gesso here primed my page in preparation for the wet mediums to be applied next.

With some White Heavy Gesso I went over the black lightly with the paint brayer.

To add texture to my page I used the Devotion A4 Stencil and applied some white modelling paste from my stash with a spatula.

It was important to ensure the Gesso was dry and then carefully move the stencil around the page so as to get a consistent floral arrangement over the black and white background.

Next I added colour to the flowers with some gorgeous Colour Artist Inks. With the Lime I painted all the leaves and then painted the flowers with Slipper and Oasis.

Once the background was complete and dried again it was time to prepare some of the embellishments for this page.

To add colour over the white doily I dipped my medical gauze into a small droplet of Oasis mixed with some water and set aside to dry.

For the layers behind my photo I made some tags as pictured using the papers from the 'Three Six Five' Paper Collection and then adhered my photo down over the doily, coloured medical gauze and the prepared tags.

Finally, I set to work on my title:

1) I coloured a strip of heavy white cardstock with Colour Spray in 'Saffron'and allowed to dry.

2) I stamped it with the Colour Blast 'Textiles' Clear Stamp Set.

3) I used the Three Six Five 'Alphas' Metal Die Set to cut the letters out as pictured and them adhered them to the page.

After I adhered my die-cut title the page I added some embellishments from my stash, including a Charms Creations star with flowers.

Take a look at these close ups.

I hope you have been inspired - happy crafting!

'Celebrate' by Amy C

Hi everyone! It's Amy here! ... am super excited to be sharing my first DT post for Bee Arty!

I have here a bright and fun mixed media page using various - but all awesome - Bee Arty products.

To start, I primed a piece of white cardstock with Colour Blast White Heavy Gesso. It is important to prime your page before working with wet mediums as a means to protect your page.

Once dried, I lightly marked where my photo was to be placed. This helped me as I added the mixed media layers to the page.

Next, I took the Bricked A6 Stencil and used a spatula to spread some modelling paste through the stencil over the page. You could then either set aside to dry or use a heatgun to speed up the drying process.

After it dried, it was time to add some colour, but before I applied some colour - using the Colour Artist Inks - I lightly sprayed water over the areas where the colour was to be added. This allowed the inks to easily run on the page creating the desired effect.

I started with the Colour Artist Ink in 'Slipper' first and gently squeezed over various areas of the page as pictured. It is quite concentrated and super bright. I moved the page around to allow the ink to run a little. I heat-dried this colour before moving on to the next colour.

As pictured, I have repeated this process for three colours: 'Slipper', 'Citrus', and 'Cider'.

Note: it is important to dry well in between each colour, to prevent the colours 'bleeding' into each other.

Next I took the 'Life is Tough' and 'Textiles' Clear Stamps Sets and - with a permanent-based ink - stamped over the coloured areas. These stamps work so beautifully - and so I used them vertically and horizontally around the page.

Next I added some splatters of the Colour Artist Ink in 'Soot' mixed with water. You could use either a fan brush or a normal small tipped paint brush for this.
