Delightful - 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.

 

 

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!

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

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.

I then matted the painted backgrounds on papers from the Fun in the Sun paper collection pack, fussy cut elements and diecuts.

 

For the 3rd card I created a card base measuring 14cmx14cm using 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I then matted with papers from the Fun in the Sun paper collection pack, fussy cut elements and diecuts.

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.
