Bee A Wildflower - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page and an ATC to share with you made using the Blooming Gnomes collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I was inspired by the sketch in the March mood board and Sketch challenge.

 

 I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I used a painting with plastic technique to add  Emerald, Blush and Espresso Mica powder then I added splatters of each colour.

 

I added stencilling using the Garden Stencil and and Leather Colour Paste. 

 

 

Here is my finished page. 

 

I added diecuts created using the Bricks metal die and Kraft Cardstock. Fussy cut elements and papers are from the Blooming Gnomes paper collection pack.

 I've been inspired by all the Artist Trading Card (ATC) swaps I've seen on social media. Although I haven't been part of any groups, I have created some for myself. They have a great small size of 2.5"x3.5" so are an achievable project in a limited time. This card was inspired by the colours in the March Challenge and created using leftovers from my Blooming Gnomes projects :).

 

 

Blooming Gnomes is a romantic collection with quirky vibes, and is designed by the talented Karen Yates. 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.

Let Love Grow - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page and an ATC to share with you made using the Blooming Gnomes collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I'm playing along with the colours in the April mood board and have been inspired by the sketch. 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 April 30th and you need to upload your challenge here (please follow challenge rules).  

 

 I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I was inspired by the background of the sketch so I used a pencil to mark some background squares, then I added a wash of colour using Espresso, Thunder Blue, and Emerald Mica powder inside each square. When dry I added splatters of each of these colours. Then I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges.

 

 

I added stencilling using the Garden Stencil and and Leather Colour Paste in 2 of the squares. 

 

Here is my finished page. 

 

I added diecuts created using the Stitched Wildflowers metal die set and 250gsm White Cardstock. Fussy cut elements are from the Blooming Gnomes paper collection pack.

Adventure - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of fun products available from Bee Arty.

 

 

 I started with a sheet of "Flamingo" paper (reverse) from Fun in the Sun. 

I added stencilling using Emerald Colour Paste and the Orchid Stencil from Wild At Heart.

Then stamping using the Recipe Script Stamp from Raspberry Fizz and Black Archival ink.

 

 

Here is my completed page.
 

 

The photos are matted on offcuts of coordinating papers from the Fun in the Sun paper collection. 

Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper and the cover reverse bonus in the Botanicals paper collection pack. 

Die cuts were created using Matt Brown Foil Mirror board and the Old Leaves metal die set. I've also used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Forrest Favourites metal die set. 

Flowers, chipboard and hessian were from my stash.

Follow Your Bliss - With Bee Arty!

Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the new Full Circle collection available from Bee Arty.  

 

This page was inspired by the November mood board and sketch challenge. I loved the colours and sketch - but once again I'm a bit late with the challenge, lol. 

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added stencilling using the A4 Round About Stencil from Full Circle and Stormy Weather Mica powder.   

 

 

This stencil is a 2 layer stencil (Did you know that? How cool!). So I then overlayed the other end of the stencil and sponged through Thunder Mica powder.

 

I added more stencilling using Emerald Colour Paste and the Orchid Stencil from Wild At Heart.

 

There was a cut apart sheet as part of the kit that I watercoloured using Thunder Mica powder. I also added the same colour to left over chipboard from the kit.

 

Here is my completed page. 

 

 

I've used 1 photo measuring 9.5cm x 12.5cm portrait including the white border. The circle embellishments are fussy-cut from the Full Circle Paper Collection Pack. The word strips are from the Moments Paper. Lastly I added splatters of Stormy Weather, Steel, Thunder Mica powder and Amber & Sunflower  Colour Shimmer Dust.

 

Full Circle is a bright and fun collection with grungy vibes, and is designed by the talented Michelle Grant. 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.
