"Find Yourself" Tags by Charmane Koch

I had so much fun creating these tags! I used a mix of stamping on tissue paper, stencilling with modelling paste & with Colour Paste. I also found the cute little quotes on either Word Cut outs or from the Word sheets from different collections.

First I sprayed my tags using the cute little Mini Mister sprays filled with a scoop or two of Shimmer Dusts {using the Craft Powder Spoon} and water. I have used Lollipop, Peacock & Passion.

While that dried, I stamped onto tissue paper a few different stamps using black ink:

Fearless

Meridian

Unfortunately the Floral one is Unavailable but I suggest substituting with the Wonderful flower stamp - it would work well too.

I've played around with each tag differently. I have stencilled the Dragonfly Flight onto one using Modelling paste. I have stuck the stamped tissue paper around the edges of the tags - positioning where I thought looked "right".

I have also stencilled "Marked" and "Distance" using Snow White Colour Paste. As you can see here, it looks white, but becomes a glittery clear colour!

The Butterfly Flair is from the Time for Tea Flairs.

I have also treated each of the DIY Hearts slightly differently too. I coloured with the Mister Sprays first on the Heart below, and then once dried I have added the stamped tissue paper, applying with Gel Medium.

I have used the Adhesive Foam to stick on the quotes to give more dimension to my tag.

The Heart below I have applied the Flowers first and then once the Gel Medium has dried I have added the Lollipop Shimmer Dust.

I have made a video - you can pop on over to the Bee Arty Hive to check it out HERE!

Some of what I've used from Bee Arty {links are all here in the blog post}:

I also suggest to use the "wonderful" flowers from this stamp, as the one I used is no longer available:

PS - the Bee & Butterfly would be fabulous for the tags too!

Anyway, I hope you've been inspired to create some tags, or at least use the techniques I have! I still am finishing off a few more tags so stay tuned!

Happy Creating!

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

Wonderful card and tag by Tracy Jackson

                                                                   Hello Bee Arty Fans

I'm back again to show you one of the newer stamps called Wonderful making a card and tag

Now bit of a confession here, I got so carried away colouring and making this project that I forgot to take photos... so only have a few to share!

I stamped off a few times as I like to layer my cards

The colouring started... and the memory for taking photos stopped!

Made a base for a tag and layered a card using Trendsetter paper

Have a great week

Happy crafting

Keep Going by Charmane Koch

 Hey Everyone! Hoping your Monday is off to an AWESOME start! I'm guessing some of you will be getting those kids back to school? We still have a week to go, but I LOVE it when my kids are home! No school lunches to worry about, no drop offs & pick ups... just WORK! Ha, ha!

Anyway, today I wanted to share with you my most recent layout loosely based on the April Sketch this month...

I loved all the layering and mix of stamping... so decided to create my background using lots of Bee Arty Stamps & Stencils.

Here is what my base looked like after stamping and stencilling...

I have then added more colour to the page, using similar colours to the Fearless, Brave and Free Confidence paper that I used, Slipper & Oasis in the Artist Inks {with water} and also Polar Mica Powder...

Can you believe I managed to use all of these Stencils and Stamps!

Heres a list of them for you:

Bokeh Clear Stamp

New Dawn Clear Stamp

Wonderful Clear Stamp

Live Life Stencil

Rhythm Stencil

Triangle Spray Stencil

Keep Going Stencil

And this is the final outcome of my layout...

I finished off the page with doodling around the stencilled images & a bit of machine sewing around the edge of the layout & partially around the photos that I matted using Fearless Brave & Free Strength paper

It was so therapeutic creating the background loosely stamping & stencilling! How much fun it is to play with the fabulous Bee Arty Goodies!

I hope I've inspired you to get out a mix of stamps and stencils and create your own background!

Thanks for popping in!

Have a fantastic week!

The German Cake Shop by Charmane Koch

 

Happy Monday everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a layout using a mix of different Bee Arty Stencils I have used from different collections including the NEW Daisy Daze Stencil, Live Life & Dusk stencil.

I have used the Colour Artist Ink Citrus & watered down Bling, Sunshine & Sienna Mica Powders.... I've coloured the background using a paint brush to move the colours around, and dried them with a Heat Gun.

I've also used the NEW Bohemian Bliss stamps - the bee from Wonderful & Delicate

How awesome are the colours mixed together... 

Love the glittery shiny Mica Powders... how gorgeous are they??

I've doodled around the edges of the bees & the quote to highlight & give more definition.

I've trimmed down the White Cardstock so that I could back the page with Kraft cardstock to bring the page together.

And here is the finished page. Love how it's turned out and what a memory to scrapbook... 4 generations in one photo!

Thanks for looking and hope you are inspired to get the stencils out :)

PS - did anyone notice that I've used packaging on this layout??? It was a perfect match!

Happy Creating!
