Where Flowers bloom

 

Hi There! For my blog post today I thought I would use mostly the Lilius set of stamps and create a simple card. Here's how I did it.

I began by blending distress inks through the Bakewell big one inkable onto the front of a 6x6" card blank. 

Next I used the Border from the Doodle Art Daisy stamp set and stamped it in wilted violet Distress ink along the side of the stencilling. 

Onto the card front I stamped the larger lillius stamp in black ink.

I also stamped the same image onto a scrap of white card, colouring it with Ecoline pens and cutting out the leaves and flower head. I coloured the stem on the base card using the same pens. 

Using Matte Medium, I added the coloured parts to the flower and also used liquid pearls to add to the stamens

On another scrap of card, I stamped the sentiment and the corner stamp from the same set. 

Finally I added the sentiment to the card using 3d foam. 

I used:

6x6" card blank

Inkable Big one - Bakewell

Doodle Art Daisy Stamp set

Doodle Art Lillius Stamp set

Distress inks (Distress oxide inks would be equally suitable) - I used Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral

Black Versafine Clair ink

Ecoline pens

Liquid Pearls - I used Buttercup

3d foam

Matte Medium

This card was made using this week's Bee Crafty Palette but it also fit the Challenge theme for this month too, where we have a theme of Spring Zing (Bright colours and spring images)

Thanks for looking! 

Spring Zing!

 

Hi There! It's 1st April and time for a new Challenge theme in the Bee Crafty Facebook group. I chose Spring Zing for the theme this month. Think citrus colours and spring themed images for this one. I created this journal page to inspire you. 

I began by blending 3 shades of Distress oxide ink across the pages - I used spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Mustard Seed. 

Next, I lifted off some of the colour, by spraying the Bakewell Big one inkable with water, laying it over the page and blotting with a clean cloth. I then dried it completely with a heat tool. 

In other areas on the page, I used the tag inkable to add some more spiced marmalade and Twisted Citron inks using a blending brush. 

I added stamping using the same inks and the worker stamps from the Daisy stamp set. 

On a separate piece of smooth card, I stamped the daisy in memento ink and coloured it using alcohol markers before cutting it out. I cut the daisy head from the stem as it was too tall for the page. This also allowed me to angle it differently. 

I added this daisy to the background using Matte Medium. 

next I followed the same steps for the larger daisy from the sketchy flowers set. 

on a thin strip of card I stamped the sentiment and cut to separate each word. 

I splattered the page with Spiced Marmalade distress spritz and added the sentiment and the small daisy using Matte Medium.

Finally I added faux stitching and a few highlights using Gelly Roll Moonlight pens.

Here are the finished pages once more.
