Moodboard Art Journalling - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have 2 art journal pages to share with you made using lots of fun arty products available from Bee Arty. In both cases I was inspired by the monthly moodboard at the time but never god around to finishing the pages or sharing them - oops.

 

 

This first page was inspired by the May mood board and sketch challenge - my fav colours!

 

Ive use Cool Mint, Steel, Apple of my eye, Jungle and Polar Mica powders on the background. Then I've done some random stamping with the Recipe Script stamp from the Raspberry Fizz collection.

I've added a velum Sea Script diecut. The jelly fish fussy cut and title are from the Saltwater collection paper pack.

The next page was inspired by the April mood board and sketch challenge - so fun and bright! 

 

Ive use Sunflower, Amber and Candy Colour Artist Dye Ink on the background. The flowers are cut from the black and white fussy cut sheet from the paper collection pack in the Raspberry Fizz collection. I've painted a light colour wash on the flowers using the Colour Artist Dye Ink.

Lastly I added some words from the "Always" Black on White cut apart sheet.

Happy 15th Birthday - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card created with lots of fun products from Bee Arty. This card was created for my daughters recent 15th birthday. She loves swimming and the water so the Saltwater collection was perfect to use.

 

I created the card base from a 12"x12" page of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I cut it down to 28cmx14cm and folded in half to give a 14cm square card. 

The background paper is a 13.5cm square and 13cm square cut from Saltwater paper pack. 

 The chipboard "15" is coloured with Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust (mixed with water). 

I've fussy cut black and white images from the Saltwater paper pack. 

I've added diecuts created with Aussie Leaves metal die set and 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and silver net mirror board. 

Other embellishments were from my stash.

Memorydex Cards - with Bee Arty!

Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have some Memorydex cards to share with you made using lots of fun new products from the new Raspberry Fizz Collection available from Bee Arty.  

 

 

I'm playing along with the colours in the March mood board and sketch challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty online voucher. You have until March 31st and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules).   

Recently I've been inspired by all of the wonderful Memorydex cards I see on my Insta-feed, so of course I wanted to join in. I created my card base with 350gsm White Cardstock that I have cut down to 4" x 3 1/2". I then use my corner rounder punch to round all of the corners. I used a Memorydex punch to add the 2 Memorydex holes along one side.

I love the Spring Flowers stamp set from the Raspberry Fizz Collection so I stamped 2 sizes of flowers on the card, using Black Archival ink, as well as on some post-it-notes (so I can do some masking). Fussy cut the 2 post-it-note images cutting on the outline (dont leave a gap around the edge).  

 

Place the post it note images exactly over the images on the card an add more stamping.

 

 

Remove the post-it-notes and voila, the leaves appear to be behind the flowers! 

 

 I then painted the flowers with Sunshine Mica powder mixed with water, the flower centres with Tangerine Dream Mica powder. The leaves are painted with Lush Colour Shimmer Dust and the remainder of the card is painted with a dilute wash of Emerald Mica powder. All colours inspired by the Moodboard. Lastly I added some words from the "Always" Black on White cut apart sheet.  

 

 

On the reverse of the card I kept a similar colour palatte. Firstly a dilute wash of Emerald Mica powder mixed with water. Next use the Whitewash stencil with Emerald Colour Paste. Add some stamping using Black Archival ink and the Recipe Script stamp from the Raspberry Fizz Collection. 

 

I coloured some white gauze with Sunshine Mica powder mixed with water. I used 250gsm White Cardstock and the Speckled Peony Metal die set to create 2 diecuts that I painted with Tangerine Dream Mica powder. I used Black Cardstock and the  Flower Stems die from the Bee The Sunshine Collection to create a diecut. Lastly I added some words from the "Always" Black on White cut apart sheet.

 

 

 I was loving creating the cards so I made another one - this time using patterned paper and left over fussycuts from the Raspberry Fizz Paper Collection Pack.

 And the reverse of this card.

Tea Bag Art - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have some Tea-Bag Art to share with you made using lots of fun new products from the Raspberry Fizz Collection available from Bee Arty.  

  

For many years now, while on retreat, a few lovely friends and I create and share Tea-Bag Art. These are fun projects to share and I love the small canvas to create on. I start by emptying 3 unused teabags of their tea leaves (you could use used tea bags if you prefer). Then I paint both sides of the bags and tea tags with heavy white gesso (2 coats).

 

 

Paint both sides of the bags and tea tags with Sunshine Mica powder mixed with water.

 

Mix Blush Mica powder with heavy white gesso then apply to the tea bags and tea tags through the Fizzy Days Stencil from the Raspberry Fizz Collection.  

 

Add some stamping using Black Archival ink and the Recipe Script stamp from the Raspberry Fizz Collection.  

 

 The base of the tea bags and tea tags is complete. Embellish with some diecuts, fussy cuts and words. The diecuts are created from yellow glitter cardstock and 250gsm White Cardstock and the Speckled Peony Metal die set. The fussy cuts are from the Raspberry Fizz Paper collection pack. The words are from the "Always" Black on White cut apart sheet.

 

Here are the finished Tea Bags :)

Crazy Love - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a Scrapbook Page to share with you made using lots of fun arty products available from Bee Arty.  

 

 I was inspired by the January Mood Board and Sketch challenge.

 

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I used a fine black Life of Colour paint pen to draw a series of large circles in the middle of the page. Then I painted circles of Fern, Tan and Navy Colour Shimmer Dust (colours inspired by Mood Board and circles inspired by the sketch). Then I added splatters of each of these colours. Once dry I added coordinating coloured sequins as well as wood veneer. The flowers were cut from the Rustic Blossom Paper collection pack and painted with Navy Colour Shimmer Dust. I painted some resin flowers with Navy Colour Shimmer Dust mixed with heavy white gesso. The photo is matted on Crackled paper.

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have an art journal page to share with you made using lots of fun arty products available from Bee Arty. 

 

  

I'm playing along with the February mood board and sketch challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty online voucher. You have until February 28th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules). 

 

I was immediately inspired by the moodboard picture and colours and I knew I could quickly re-create it with some of the Bee Arty dies I had.

I created this page in a 6x6 kraft journal. I started by swiping heavy white gesso across the page. 

I added stamping using the Find Your Way stamp and Grey Archival ink.

I've added diecuts from the Flower Stems metal die set, the Autumn trio metal die set, and the Aussie leaves metal die set  (using 250gsm White Cardstock). 

I painted the diecuts with Lovely Lilac, Blush and Steel Mica powders. 

I added some words from the Bee The Sunshine paper collection pack. 

Lastly I outlined the page using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.

No Worries - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a Scrapbook Page to share with you made using the Aussie Bushland collection available from Bee Arty.  

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I sprinked Fern Colour Shimmer Dust on my page using a fan brush then I lightly sprayed with water. It is so cool that a single shimmer dust contains all these different colour pigments.

 

I mixed some Fern Colour Shimmer Dust with modelling paste and applied through parts of the Aussie Map A4 Stencil from the Aussie Bushland collection.

 

 I added stamping using black ink and the Wildlife Stamp set from the Aussie Bushland collection.

 

Here is my completed page. 
 

 

I added a photo mat and strip along the bottom of the page from the Aussie Bushland Paper collection Pack. Fussy cut embellishments and sentiments also came from this paper pack.  I used the Aussie leaves metal die set and Aussie Flowers metal die set from the Aussie Bushland collection  with White and Brown Cardstock.
