Create to Inspire, an Art Journal Page by Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Hope you are all doing well! I'm back on the blog today with my favourite, mixed media art journal page. I truly enjoy the freedom it gives me to create and in turn inspire you all. It also always gives me an opportunity to be inspired myself. 

On that note, here's a look at the page.

Rich, luscious colours, textures and elements! I love how vibrant this turned out! I played with the Artist Inks for the background. 

I've added texture paste with a stencil and then some black stamping to create depth and textures.

I've cut my focal Paintbrushes several times and glued them together to create that depth making them look 3 dimensional. I've added sisal underneath them, giving it texture and contrast from the background.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the butterflies to add them on to my page. I completed it with splatter and sequins. 

Such a fun vibrant page to create! I called this instant happiness!

Supplies used:

Artist Dye Ink- Citrus, Cider and Calypso

Stencil-Distance

Stamp- Wonderful

Die-Inspire

Have a great Day!

Hugs,

Sunila

Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Sunila here, with a mixed media style Journal Page inspiration for you all. I have enjoyed creating this one in my watercolour journal. I love mixed media, because of the layers and elements that add up to the final creation.

Here's a look at the page:

I've used shimmer powder to brush on my background and added stamping for depth and texture. 

I've used some fussy cut clusters, and die cut circles for my focal element. 

Simple and minimal steps add texture and depth and create stunning pieces.

Supplies used:

Shimmer Dust Navy

Geo Grunge Stamp

Fussy Cut elements from- Forever my Always.

Stencil- Distance

Hope you enjoyed this!

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! 

"Mask On" by Charmane Koch

 Happy Friday Everyone! Hopefully it is anyway! I know I am glad it's Friday! I have 5 more days of work including this one, then it is HOLIDAY TIME! CAN>NOT>WAIT!

Today I thought I would share a layout I have been meaning to finish for ages! It went through a long process... firstly a while back I had a play with combining Colour Paste Snow White with Embossing Powder (I had excess of a mix of different Embossing powders I didn't want to throw out!} so I did a couple of backgrounds using Bee Arty Stencils... {check this blog post out!}

So I have had this background in my stash for quite a while. I used the Boxed In Stencil. I also have had the Covid papers to use for a while too, I knew I wanted to document Mask wearing, although had NO IDEA we would be wearing masks for so long! If you want to document Covid - there is an amazing Step by Step Mini Album you can create - FIND THE COVID MINI ALBUM HERE!

To colour my title, I have used a shimmer cube & a splash of water... here's a quick video... you could also use Shimmer Dust and water to create a similar effect!

I love the effect the Snow White Colour Paste and the Embossing Powder creates!

As you can see I have also added the Distance Stencil using the Envy Colour Paste. I did test out a few different Colour Paste colours to work out which one would match the best...

Loved the little Cut-Outs from the Covid Papers - 

And here is the final layout! Lots of journalling on this one!

Thanks again for popping in & I hope I have inspired you to experiment with Snow White Colour Paste & Embossing Powders! It truly does give an awesome effect! 

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all!

Spend Your Life Laughing - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Electric Dreams collection from Bee Arty. I love how bright and vibrant the colours in this collection are, and they go perfectly with the new Neon mica powders!

 

 

I started with a sheet of heavyweight 350gsm white cardstock. I used a painting with plastic technique to apply yellow neon, pink neon and orange neon Mica Powders across the page under where my photo would be placed and along the left edge. Then I splattered each of these neon Mica Powders across the page.

 

 

Next I used the Distance Stencil with orange neon Mica Powder  mixed with heavy gloss gel. This stencil is one of my favs.

 

Lastly I added some stamping using black ink and the Making tracks stamp set 

 

 

Here is my completed page.  

 

 I've cut paper strips and word elements from the Electric Dreams paper pack. I've also added some diecuts using the Geo Direction metal die and 250gsm white cardstock.

 

 

 I drew around the edge of my page using a thin black Life Of Colour pen. Lastly I added some neon sequins, enamel shapes and a Charms Creations chevron embellishment.

 

 

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 ...
