Inspirational Mixed Media Cards by Amy C.

Hi everyone!

My turn up on the blog today with some mixed media cards using the inspirational Three Six Five paper collection pack designed by Tanya Froud. 

I used various papers from the 365 collection for the backgrounds, the sentiments and the butterflies!

I used some Black Heavy Gesso with the 'On Point' A6 stencil over the patterned paper as well as being stamped with the 'Life Is Tough' clear stamp set over various parts. 

To add a bit of dazzle, I applied some of the gorgeous Colour Blast 'Bling' Colour Paste through the 'That Way' A4 stencil over the background.

After I fussy cut the butterfiles from the 365 Collection I coloured them with Colour Spray in 'Grape' and 'Carribean'.

The sentiments for the cards were trimmed from the 'Untangle' range.

I also included thread and enamel dots from my stash.

Here are some close ups!

'This is the beginning of anything you want' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Bee Arty fans,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest design team inspiration for you, a bright and fun layout featuring Tanya Froud's 365 Collection.

To create the background, I mixed a little bit of Citrus Colour Artist Ink along with a bit of Lemon Zing Mica Powder and using a distress tool, make up sponge etc smooth your coloured ink through the A4 Interwoven stencil.  I also made another light paste with the Wisteria Mica Powder and Berry Colour Artist Ink and smoothed it through the same stencil.

I also stamped onto white tissue paper or you could use deli paper instead and using a bit of water around the edges, use small sections and glue them using a simple old glue stick to the background. 

Once they are dry, use a paint brush to add a bit of colour to the stamped images. 

Here are some close ups for the finer details - 

Fussy cut your triangles and bees from the Cut and Colour Sheet from the Kit and colour the triangles using markers or you could use a fine paint brush to colour the triangles with Colour Artist Inks in Citrus and Berry.

Mat your photos in white cardstock and then again in 'Direction' paper and fussy cut your two quotes from the 'Resolutions' paper.

Draw black circles using a fine black marker by tracing around circle templates, move the templates slightly each time you trace around them to create scribbled circles.

Let's take a look at the Bee Arty with Colour Blast products used to create this layout:-
