Happy Days by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! As happy as it can be! It is Spring, so it can only get better from here I say! I love the warmer weather!

Today I want to share with you a layout I created using the Embrace Change Collection!

I started off with cutting out a whole heap of leaves from the Autumn Trio & Old Leaves Dies using Embrace Change Gathering & Festival paper & also some Kraft paper - how satisfying and fun it is! I couldn't stop! Ha ha!

I have created a full video of this, but as an Amateur Video Creator I am still trying to figure out how to make it a bit more exciting...

So I will give you the basics of how I created it...

I started off with using Modelling paste and positioned the Wreath Stencil to the middle right of the page, then I have used the Cascading Leaves stencil on the left hand side of the page.

Once dried I have used a few different Mica Powders & Soot Artist Ink to colour the wreath and the leaves.

After colouring the stencilled images I played around with the positioning of my leaves...

I also coloured some Muslin with Leather Shimmer Dust & also the Title with the same colour too.

Here are some closeups to show the shimmer on the leaves...

And the cute little butterfly I've cut out! How cute is that?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I've inspired you to use the Wreath & Cascading Leaves & the rest of the Embrace Change Collection! It's gorgeous!

Happy Creating! XO Charm

'Bloom' by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout created for Bee Arty and inspired by the July Mood Board.

Here's a reminder of the mood board.

Such pretty colours!

I started my layout by cropping a sheet of the 350gsm heavy white cardstock and mounting on a sheet of the Untangle Mindset patterned paper. I then mixed up all of the colours for my background. I used the Colour Blast White Heavy Gesso and added Colour Artist Dye Inks in Berry, Citrus, Lime, Oasis and Slipper. You might notice that my last swipe of colour on my page looks grey. It's actually purple but either my photography or lighting was bad. Trust me. It is purple in real life! I used a paintbrush to add all of the stripes of colour and then diluted the paint so I could flick it over the page.

Once my background was completely dry, I added some stencilling with Colour Paste in Snow White and the Gridlock - A6 Stencil. 

Here you can see how this Colour Paste adds such a gorgeous shimmer.

Next, I added some stamping using the Bokeh Clear Stamp Set and the Going My Way Clear Stamp Set. I used Archival Ink and Distress Oxides for my stamping.

I chopped up the Untangle Silence patterned paper and layered the pieces together with the Frame Metal Die die cut. I fussy cut some flowers from the Embrace and the Collection Bonus patterned papers and added all to the page. Finally I added my embellishments and my title as well as quotes cut from the patterned papers.

Moments Like These by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Belinda with you today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the stunning NEW Embrace Change Collection by Fiona Paltridge.

I started this layout by cropping a sheet of patterned paper from the Embrace Change collection and adding it to some of the fabulous 350gsm white cardstock. I spritzed on some Love Colour Spray, spritzed with a little water and played around with it, letting it drip down the page, until I was happy with the coverage. I dried it off with a heat gun.

Next I used the brand new Rosewood Colour Paste with the Cascading Leaves A5 Stencil from the Embrace Change collection and then dried with the heat gun again letting the paste bubble a little for extra texture.

I added some stamping using Ranger Archival Ink  and the Say It and Watermark Stamps

Next I added my paper layers cropped from patterned papers in the Embrace Change Collection along with die cuts using the Web, Old Leaves and String Wreath Dies. I added some fussy cut leaves and flowers that I coloured using Life of Colour Watercolour Pens and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

Finally I added my title and remaining embellishments.

In the Flowers- Art Journal by Aditi

 Hello,

Welcome back to the blog! Wishing you all a happy Sunday!

Today I'm back with another video tutorial project from you'll. This time I decided to create a double page mixed media journal spread. I wanted to play with the Artists Colour Dye Inks on my watercolour paper and let the colours do their own magic. 

Here's a look at the spread

My idea is always 'use minimal supplies, play and create' Here again I've created a quick background with texture paste and a stencil, the inks and stamping. For the focal I've added stamped fussy cut images along with a few die cut images. I love the organic look of this page. 

You can watch the process video on the Bee Arty Facebook group or on my YouTube Channel. 

Here are a few close ups

Supplies used:

1. Colour Blast Artist Inks- Oasis and Bordeaux

2. Colour Blast Shimmer Dust Navy

3. Colour Blast Stencil- Laced

4. Colour Blast Stamp- Memories

5. Bee Arty Stamp- Heartfelt

6. Colour Blast Die- Netted and Compass 

Hope you enjoyed this project!

Hugs,

Aditi

"Keep Sassy" by Anita Enright

Hi Everyone

I haven't had much to play lately but last weekend pulled out papers from one of my favourite Colour Blast ranges - Trendsetter. Designed by the amazing Michelle Grant it truly is a gorgeous collection.  

You can find it here.

 For this one I wanted to also play along with the March Bee Arty Creative Hive challenge. I think I did it justice but I'll leave that up to you :).  

Here is a copy of the Moodboard for the challenge and if you wanted to join in click on the link.  If not, they are great colours to create a layout, off the page project or some gorgeous cards. I so love this colour combination.

Bee Arty Creative Hive March 2021 Challenge

 

 

To create my page I started by adding some Mica Powder in Polar to the lower half of the Bee Arty cardstock and after drying completely I then added a little Shimmer Dust in Velvet.

 I cut a piece of the "Sassy" paper from the Trendsetter collection at about 5 1/2" and then torn a strip from the "Impress" patterned paper.  Attach these the white cardstock.  From a piece of off-cut white cardstock I die cut the "Party Lights" die set and attached them to the layout under the torn piece of patterned paper.

 

 

I added some stamping in a matching dark purple ink. Next I added foam tape to the reverse of my photo, added some white gauze behind it and then after cutting the "Basket Weave" in the "Impress" patterned paper, attached it behind the photo (cut in half).

Adding some flower clusters and layering some of the cards from the reverse of the "Impress" patterned paper. To finish I added some words from the "Sparkle" word sheet mounted on foam tape and punched out some leaves in white cardstock to tuck in amongst the flower clusters.

 

PRODUCTS USED

Trendsetter - "Sparkle" word sheet

Trendsetter - "Sassy" patterned paper

Trendsetter - "Impress" patterned paper

Trendsetter - "All Class" stamp set

Grateful Heart - "Party Lights" metal die set

Grateful Heart - "Party Lights" A4 stencil

Follow Your Soul...by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Bee Arty fans!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout featuring lots of awesome Bee Arty products.

'Follow Your Soul'

I started my lay out by cropping a sheet of the Tangled patterned paper from the Untangle collection. I then added it to a sheet of the fabulous Bee Arty 350gsm White Cardstock for extra strength and support.

I sprayed the background paper with Saffron Colour Spray and let it drip down the page. Next I added Slipper Colour Artist Ink and let that drip down too. I dried the page with a heat gun and then added more Slipper Ink letting it run down the page again. I flicked some of the ink over the page too using a soft wet paintbrush and then dried with the heat gun again. I repeated this process using Citrus Ink too.

How gorgeously vibrant are those colours??!!

Next I added two lacy scroll borders die cut from the Desire Metal Die Set as well as some wire thread, a doily and flowers fussy cut from the Embrace patterned paper

I used the same inks to colour these super pretty die cut leaves from the Leaves of Paradise Metal Die Set. Once dry I added them to the layout along with all other embellishments, my photo and title.

Here is my finished layout:

You can see that I fussy cut some leaves and added some uncoloured die cut leaves too. I sprayed the Polaroid Butterfly die cut with the Saffron Colour Spray, let dry and then doodled a border with a black pen before adding over the top of my photo.

Here's what I used:

UNTANGLE Collection:

- Embrace patterned paper

- Lines patterned paper

- Silence patterned paper

- Tangled patterned paper

Colour Spray:

- Saffron

- Sunset

Colour Artist Ink:

- Citrus

- Slipper

Bokeh Clear Stamp

Metal Dies:

- Desire

- Leaves of Paradise

- Polaroid Butterfly
