Travel and Explore- Bee Arty DT

 Hi everyone hope you are all doing well and getting time to create your own beautiful art. I'd like to share one of my latest pieces, I love to spend time at the beach and with the cold weather arriving here in South Aussie it's time to remember the beautiful memories of traveling on the sea feeling free and being warm!!! 

For this page I used papers from one of the latest kits 'Destination Anywhere' by Queenie Yeung.

I used from the 'Destination Anywhere' Kit.: 12x12 page 'Starts here'

Tags phrases/words from 'Parcel' and the back of the cover page.

World and postcard from 'Arrival'

Stencils - 'Pavement' and 'Boxed in' from the 'Untangled' range.

Heavy White Gesso

Colour Blast Mica Powder 'Olive Grove' 

Colour Blast Colour Paste 'Envy', 'Stormy Weather', 'Just blue' and 'Snow White'

 

Thin craft cork A4 mat 

Page of music.

 

String.

 

Archival Ink- Black

 

 

 

Step 1-I used some gel medium to glue down some music paper to the cork.

 

 Step 2- Using the pages  'Parcel', the back of the cover page and 'Arrival' I cut out tags phrases, words,  and postcard, edging them all with black Achival Ink. 

 

 

Step 3- I used a spatula to smear 3 colours of Colour Paste over the 'Boxed in' stencil; 'Envy', 'Just Blue' and 'Snow White' onto the music and cork. I let this layer dry thoughly, placing it infront of my gas heater quickened to process.

.

Step 4- Using the 'Stormy Weather' Colour Paste over the 'Placement' stencil in the same way added another dimension and colour to the page. It's important to let the paste dry thoughly before doing the next layers.

Step 5- I experimented with placement of words, tags and photo. A hole was punched into the tag hole section and a small piece of string was connected. 

Step 6- The cork page was glued onto the 12"x12" 'Starts here' page. Using the mica powder 'Olive Grove' and a brush loaded with water, I made a concentrated paint to add around different sections of the page. I also decided to find a few more elements to add to the pages to  help connect the two pages together.

Here are some closeups for you to show you the details:

 Hi everyone, Great to see so many people doing the most amazing creating. Today I'm here to inspire you to go back and find some of your left overs and even thou this has lots of fussy cutting it is a quick and simple layout to do.

 I used the papers from 'Grateful Heart' kit by Michelle to create this page.

The products included:

- Pages from 'Grateful Heart kit': Blessed (Words1), 'Love' (Side A), ' Faith' (Side B), 'Gathers' (Side A), Black Cardstock 'Together'(Side B edge)

-Colour Shimmer Dust: 'Lush', 'Amber', 'Sunflower', 'Peacock', 'Paris', 'Candy'

 

Firstly I cut out the flowers, leaves, bird, heart and phrase that I need to layer under the photos are chosen to use. I chose 3 that showcased our beautiful grandies and some of the special moments we cherished. 

I layered a piece of torn white wood 'Faith' paper and the edge of the 'Together' patterned paper over the top of the black 12"x12" cardstock which is in the kit and attached them together with double sided tape.

I use my phone to take photos of different placements of the flowers etc and review the photos to chose my favourite layout. Doing this then provides me with a copy of the final placement to refer back to when I glue it all down finally. I added some torn cardboard under the bird area to lift the bird up to give the page more dimension and with the photo of the boys using the binoculars it worked really well.

 

Using the colours of Amber, Paris, Sunflower, Candy, Peacock and Lush Colour Shimmer Dust I placed a very small amount into individual sections of the palette and added water to make a watercolour to paint my fussy cut elements. Several layers of colour painted on top of each other in different areas gives more depth to the page. 

 

For a deeper colour I placed a small amount 'Lush' powder onto my work mat and dipped my wet brush onto the powder and transferred it onto the sections I wanted dark.

I also added some paint along the patterned paper above the title phrase to bring in another colour element to connect the edge with the rest of the painted area. 

 

Here are some close ups for you to check out.
