By The Sea - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of fabulous arty products from the new Saltwater collection at Bee Arty.  

 

 I wanted to create a mixed media element to add to my background so I started with a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock cut down to 21cm x 25cm. I used a painting with plastic technique to apply Oasis and Mermaid Colour Artist Ink. I started with straight ink on the plastic but found the colour depth too deep for my liking so I experimented and added more water to the ink with each application of the "painting with plastic". This resulted in lots of shades of each of the 2 colours. I let each application/colour dry before applying the next. Lastly I added Bling Mica Powder mixed with water in places across the page. 

 

I felt that this painty page had too much colour and was too "busy" but once it was attached to a background piece of Vast and Deep Paper (reverse) and had 2 photos placed at the top I was happy with the effect.

 

Here is my completed page. 

 

 

Under my photo I added some white gauze and diecuts created using the Sea Script Metal Die and papers from the Saltwater Paper Collection Pack.

 

 Images were fussy cut from the Something Fishy Paper. The title is cut from the H2O Paper. The white gauze, cabochons, wood veneer, flair, and metal flip-flops are from my stash.

Let's Make Waves - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of fabulous arty products from the new Saltwater collection at Bee Arty.  

 

 

 I started with a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock and added stencilling using the School Of Fish stencil and Snow White Colour Paste.

 

Next I added colour to the background. I mixed colour in 3 Mini Misters. In the first Mini Mister I mixed 3 drops Oasis Colour Artist Ink, small scoop Snow White Mica Powder (for bling) and 9 drops water. In the second Mini Mister I mixed 3 drops Mermaid Colour Artist Ink and 9 drops water. In the third Mini Mister I mixed 3 drops Lime Colour Artist Ink and 9 drops water. Each colour was sprayed onto the page as shown, letting each colour dry before applying the next colour. If you want a darker or lighter colour add less/more water in each mister. Then I added splatters of each colour.

I added background stamping using the Salty Dots stamp and a blue ink pad, then the bubble stamp from the Aquatic Life Stamp Set and a yellow ink pad. This stamping was done under/around where the photo was going and along the left edge of the page (sorry, no photo). 

 

Here is my completed page. 

 

I matted my photo using papers from the Saltwater Paper Collection Pack. I've added diecuts using the Sea Script Metal Die and papers from the Saltwater Paper Collection Pack. Images were fussy cut from the Something Fishy Paper. The white gauze, cabochons and metal starfish are from my stash.

 

I added a barcode strip, from one of the papers in the Saltwater Paper Collection Pack, along the LHS as well as an embellishment cluster using more fussy cuts and a title from the H2O Paper. Using dimensional foam under titles and fussy cuts adds texture and dimension to the page.

 

I just love the colours and designs in this collection :)
