Samples for Bee Crafty

 

Hi There! I hope you were able to see the new products launch by Bee Crafty yesterday. I am here sharing the samples that I made. 
My first is a very simple white embossed cone flower card, using the same techniques as last week's blog post. 
Next up I used the A4 catalyst collage papers- Birds and Sunflowers. The rich colours on these papers are wonderful! 
I created this rainbow journal spread using Journaling Essentials 9 stamp set. 
Here's another card made using the gorgeous Doodle Art cone flower stamps. 
For these two samples I used the Catalyst collage papers- painted petals and portraits along with the Journaling Essentials 9 stamp set
There are loads more samples from the  Creative Team to come as well as on the Facebook group.  I can't wait to see what you create with these gorgeous stamps and papers

Here's some links for you- there are some fab multibuy offers at the moment!

Thanks for looking!

Hello September

 

Hi There! Thought I would share a bit of embossing with you today, as our new challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group is embossing. This can be heat embossing or dry embossing, so here I am using heat embossing. 

I began by blending autumnal colours of Distress oxide inks over a 4x4" piece of watercolour card. 
Once this was dry, I stamped the leaves in Versamark ink and sprinkled with clear embossing powder
Using a heat tool I melted the embossing powder and then let it cool. 
Over the top of this I sponged a good layer of Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink.  
Next i spritzed with some coordinating Distress spritz and left to dry before a quick polish of the embossed areas with a soft cloth.
Finally I added a wordy sticker sentiment. 
Here is a close up of that shimmer too. 

I used:
Distress oxide inks - I used Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Crackling Campfire, Walnut stain and Ground Espresso
Versamark ink
Distress spritz - I used Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door and Walnut Stain

I will be live this evening on the Bee Crafty Facebook page with more ideas for our embossing themed challenge.
I am a little late today because I am catching up with chores after Black Belt Camp at the weekend. 12 hours of karate over 2 days at Keele University.  Here's a couple of photos
