Beauty - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Botanicals Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

This page was inspired by the July mood board and sketch challenge. I loved this sketch - but I'm a bit late with the challenge :)

 

 I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. First I sewed a square in the middle of the page using my sewing machine and black thread. Then I painted a wash of Wine Colour Shimmer Dust. I splattered water onto the page (with my fingers) then dabbed with a paper towel - this removes colour and gives a watercolour look. When this was dry I added splatters of Wine and Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust. 

 

I added stamping using a black inkpad and the Untamed Stamp Set from Botanicals. 

I added stencilling using texture paste applied through the Stems stencil from Botanicals collection.

 

Here is my completed page, along with a beautiful photo of Jessica riding Tommy :) 

 

 Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper in the Botanicals paper collection pack. The words are from Hello My Love paper. I have punched out the "Beauty" circle from the top right of the Hello My Love paper and used my button maker to create a flair. Flowers, gold thread, hessian and gauze from my stash were perfect additions to the embellishment clusters. 

I used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Flower Stems metal die set to create some diecuts for my embellishment clusters.
