Moths and Peonies from Bee Crafty

 

There are some absolutely stunning new stamps and papers launched yesterday by Bee Crafty! Here are a few makes that I have created with them so far. They are all absolutely gorgeous and I know I am going to love using them over and over again! First up is a journal spread using the Autumn portraits A4 catalyst collage papers and the Moths stamp set.

For this vintage style card I used the Peony print stamp and the Moths, colouring with a mixture of Distress inks and coloured pencils. 

The gorgeous A5 Autumn portraits Catalyst Collage papers were used for this journal spread, along with the peony print stamp

This journal page used one of the A5 moths and peonies papers which I smooshed and coloured with Distress Inks. I used coloured pencils to colour the butterflies/ moths on the page and added an extra stamped moth bottom right. 

For this card I embossed both the moth and the peony print stamp in white embossing powder and then washed with watercolours. 

All of the new stamps and papers can be found here along with a fabulous bundle if you just can't choose!

Bee Happy Today journal Page

Hi there! I am here with a super quick journal page for you today. I wanted to do one to go with the page I did last week, but didn't have a lot of time. Here's what I did. 
 

I began by selecting a piece of catalyst collage paper which I cut to fit the page. (Please ignore the faux stitching at the top of the page- I was getting a bit ahead of myself!!!)

Next I stamped some of the smaller stamps from Journaling Essentials 9 around the page using black ink

I added more stamping using bali Blue versafine clair ink. 

Once this was dry I added a white faux stitiched line all around the page and stuck it into the journal.

On a separate piece of white card I stamped the smaller cone flower using black ink and cut it out. 

Finally I added this and a wordy sticker to the page. I also added some black faux stitching around the wordy sticker. 

Here are the two pages side by side.

I used:

Catalyst collage papers - I used Painted Petals and Portraits in A5

Jornaling Essentials #9 stamp set

Doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set

Versafine Clair ink- I used Black and Bali Blue

Wordy Stickers

Posca pen

Black fine liner

Smile Sunshine! - A painty journal page

 

Hi There! I am here with a Journal page for my blog post this week. More painting inspiration for the Bee Crafty Stamps facebook group challenge. 

I began by painting a page with black gesso then adding a white gesso 'star' over it. 

Once this was dry, I used the latest Dinkables to add some spots and dashes with dylusions paint in mushy peas and peony Blush.

Next I added a piece of catalyst Collage paperand edged round it with a black paint marker. 

When it was dry I added faux stitching using a bright pink gelly roll Moonlight pen. 

Around the page I added some stamping using Peeled Paint and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink with some of the worker stamps from Journaling Essentials 9. 

Finally I added a wordy Sticker sentiment, adding a bit more faux stitching and a black border

Here is the finished page again.

Challenge inspiration

 

Hi There! I am here with a little inspiration for the new challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group, where the challenge is 'Paint'. 

I began by painting the background of my coaster with Dylusions paints. 

When this was dry I added some white gesso through the Bakewell Big one inkable. 

Using the worker stamps from the doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set, I added a little stamping in black Versafine Clair ink. 

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the smaller cone Flower in the same ink and cut it out. I coloured it using distress inks. 

Finally I added it to the background along with some wordy stickers, adding some faux stitching with a gel pen and a fine liner. 

Here it is once more. 

I used:

Doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set

Big ones inkable - Bakewell 

Black Versafine Clair ink

Distress inks  - I used Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed and Rustic Wilderness
