The Best Memories - 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 Road Trip collection from Bee Arty.

 

 

I'm playing along with the January mood-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 January 30th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules). 

 

I have been inspired by the colours of the moodboard and also the sketch (turned on the side).

 

I used a painting with plastic technique to add Oasis, Calypso and Mermaid Colour Artist ink to some 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock, then I added splatters of each colour.

 

I used the City Nights A6 stencil from the Road Trip collection and Deep Water Colour Paste to add dimension to the page.  

 

I added stamping using the Mapped stamp and the Making Tracks stamp set from the Road Trip collection, and Black Archival ink.  

 

 

 Here is my completed page.

 

 

 I've used a sheet of Road paper and cut matts for my photo using different designs on the front and back of this paper. My photo is 9cmx12cm printed with a white border. I've added 5 different patterned paper layers, some book paper, a kraft tag, and torn cardboard layers.   

 

 

 I've fussy cut elements from the Spy paper as well as leaves from the Road Trip Collection Cover paper. The words are cut from the Vacay paper, also from the Road Trip Collection.  

 

 

 Lastly I've added some orange enamel dots and outlined my page using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Hopes and DREAMS! by Linda Pearson

Hopes and DREAMS!  we all have them... 

Today I have used some of my favourite stamps and stencils from the Bee Arty range to create a journal page.  As always these journal pages can be adapted to become a scrapbook layout if preferred.

Gesso – Bee Arty heavy primer 250ml

Making tracks clear stamp set

White Cardstock 350gsm

City Nights A6 stencil

Distance A5 stencil

Untangirl A5 stencil

Boxed in stencil A5

Mica powder – Denim, Eggplant and Forest

Mini Mister bottles

 

Black archival ink

Corrugated kraft card

Tissue paper

Off cut scrapbook paper

Word or sentiment (photo image for scrapbook layout)

 

Apply 2 coats of white Gesso to an A4 journal page.  Dry off.

 

 

In the jar (2 jars) add some matt medium enough to cover the whole page, add several scoops Mica powder, eggplant and denim to make a mix.  Brush over the whole page with the Eggplant mix then while still wet use a wet wipe rubbed through the City Nights A6 stencil, dry off.

 
 

 

 

Using the Denim Mica powder mix randomly brush the blue mix over areas of the page, then while still wet, use a wet wipe rubbed through the Distance A5 stencil.  Dry off.

 

 

 

Mix more of the Egg Plant Mica powder apply through the boxed in stencil randomly around the edges of the page, dry off.

 

 

 

Add random track marks using the  Making tracks clear stamp set with the black archival ink.  Also add some tracks around the border of the page.

 

 

 

Roughly tear a section of Kraft corrugated card.  Roughly paint over some of the left over Eggplant matt medium mix to add colour the card.  In a mist bottle add some Forest Mica powder with water to make a shimmer mist spray, spray over the card.  Dry off.

 

 

 

To create the focal point I used a variety of bits from my stash, adhere together;

·       muslin (coloured in Forest shimmer spray),

·       fussy cut flowers from embrace change cut out sheet,

·       black and white scrapbook paper

·       Title from the electric dreams cover page

·       Craft string

·       Tissue Paper stamped with the numbers stamp from the  Making tracks clear stamp set in black archival ink

·       Add black splatters over the focal piece

·       Tie some craft string around the focal piece.

 

 

 

 

On a piece of White Cardstock 350gsm apply a mix of Denim and matt medium through the Untangirl A5 stencil.  Allow to dry.

 

 

 

Spray some Forest and Eggplant shimmer mist sprays over the stencilled girl.

 

 

Cover some White Cardstock 350gsm with the Distance A5 stencil in black archival ink. Cut a backing shape using the stencilled girl as a guide. Adhere the two pieces together.

Apply more Eggplant  and matt medium mix through the Distance A5 stencil  then add some black scribbles around some of the numbers/letters as well as some of the squares around the page.

Thank you for checking out my journal page and hope you are inspired to create your own interpretation.

Cheers from Linda ...
