My Happy Place by Charmane Koch

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you've had a lovely start to the week! I'm here with you today to share with you my interpretation of the August Moodboard/Sketch - I've taken inspiration from both. I think the Botanicals Collection is the perfect match for this!

Here's the Moodboard - there's still plenty of time to get your entries in!

I've used a few different papers to create layers - Here are the papers I have used:

I cut out the circle image from the Romance Paper, keeping the Floral corner as well - I distressed the edge...

Using a plate I cut out a circle from the Elegant Paper:

I also distressed the edge of this as well. Then stuck it over the top of the Romance paper...

I matted my photo using White Cardstock, a piece of hessian & a torn piece of cardboard - 

I also cut out some leaves from the Blooms cut out paper

I cut out the Stalks Die 3 times using both sides of the Bouquet Paper as I wanted light & dark "stalks" to add behind my matted photo...

I positioned the Die Cut & Leaves from the Bloom paper along with strips of distressed papers onto the papers...

I used Double Sided tape & Glue to stick them all down. I also machine stitched around both circles twice. 

I added string & paper flowers & Chipboard branches to my layout - plenty of layers on this page!

Using a small paintbrush I have flicked a bit of SOOT Colour Artist Ink around the edge of my layout.

I used a Word Cut Apart for my title...

I also had to make a Charms Creations to match the page...

I really had a lot of fun putting this page together - the Botanicals Collection is absolutely stunning! I will definitely be getting it out again!

Thanks for popping by!

Happy Creating!

Love Moments Like These with Rikki G

  Good morning how are you? Have been chasing what ever sunshine there has been in the West which means getting out in the garden and enjoying some Vitamin D, what have you all been up to?

I am here playing with some inks and stamps and some stencils and of course some papers as well.....

So to start with its always about the random stamp background to start building  the background, using the Tropical Forest Stamp set- using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Villainous Potion.

Now its time to build up your background with Party Lights Stencil flipping between Tim Holtz oxide- Shaded Lilac and Hickory Smoke.

Now its time to go in heavy with Tim Holtz Oxide Villainous Potion flipping between Party Light Stencil, Tropical Forest Stamp and Bokeh Stamp set.

Now its about finishing off the layout, using the amazing Halloween collection - Pumpkin Spice.

Dont forget we have a monthly challenge for you to enter

Delightful - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

Its Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Botanicals Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock using Pink Ice Colour Shimmer Dust and Bling and Jungle Mica powder (using a painting with plastic technique). Then I added splatters of each of these colours.

  

I added stamping using green and pink inkpads and the Untamed Stamp Set from Botanicals. 

I mixed some Pink Ice Colour Shimmer Dust with texture paste and applied through the Moondust stencil (from the Moon Shadows Collection)

 

Here is my completed page, along with a beautiful photo of my 2 gorgeous girls :)

 

I matted my photo on some Delicate paper, and also added the barcode strip and an offcut along the bottom of the page. Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper in the Botanicals paper collection pack. The "Flowers Grow Together" card is from Hello My Love paper. I have also punched out the Delightful and Violet flower circles from the top right of the Hello My Love paper and used my button maker to create two flairs. Gold thread from my stash was also a perfect addition.

 

 

I used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Grungy Viewmaster metal die to create some diecuts for my embellishment clusters. The punchinella was leftover from the kit.

Botanicals has soft floral vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Amy Evans. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed! You can subscribe to the kit here. Kits come with a paper pack, stencils, metal dies, stamp sets, embellishments and full colour kit instructions.

Summer Time - 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 Fun in the Sun Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. 

I mixed Chilli Mica powder with Heavy White Gesso then applied it with a sponge through the Tropical Fun Stencil from the Fun in the Sun Collection. 

I used back ink and the Recipe Script stamp (from the Raspberry Fizz Collection) across the page.   Then I added splatters of Navy and Peacock Colour Shimmer Dust and Chilli Mica powder.  

 

 

Here is my finished page along with a gorgeous photo of my girls in Hawaii.

 

I've added papers and fussy cut elements from the Fun in the Sun paper collection pack. Lastly I used a fine black paint pen to hand draw a border and add journalling.

Fun in the Sun has bright tropical vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Queenie Yeung at Silluart Studios. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed! You can subscribe to the kit here.
