A super quick journal page

 

Hi There! I am here with a super quick and simple journal page today. 

I began by using an A5 catalyst card from set #1 and cutting it to size, attaching to the page with matte medium.

Next I stamped some flowers from the dandydaisy set, along with the doodle art sunflower head and coloured with ecolines. Then I cut them out.

I selected a sentiment from the creative words transparency and cut those out.

Finally I arranged these on the page and and stuck down using matte Medium.

Here is the finished page again, 

I used:

A5 Catalyst cards set #1

Doodle Art Dandydaisy stamp set

Doodle Art Sunflower stamp set

Black versafine Clair

Ecoline pens

Transparency prints - creativity words white on black

Playing with Kraft and coloured pencils

Hi there! I've been enjoying colouring this week, using a variety of pens and pencils. I thought I would show you a card I made using stamps, easy frames and colouring pencils.

I began by stamping the large flower from the dandedaisy set onto a 14.5cm square of kraft card. 

Using the 'innie' from the 4" circle easy frame, I blended walnut stain distress oxide around the flower. 

Replacing the 'innie' with the 'outie' of the easy frame, I added some white pencil shading around the circle and then lightly coloured the flower and leaves white too.

I used the same techniques to add two more overlapping circles. 

Next I coloured the flower and leaves with coloured pencils.

I added some stamping to the circles using the white ink.

Using the texture borders set I added a spotty border in walnut stain distress oxide.

I also stamped the script background around the edges a little (without using an acetate block) using the innie as a mask, with vintage photo distress ink. I added a few highlights of gelly roll clear sparkle pen to the centre of the flower. 

I stamped and white embossed a tickertape sentiment, cutting it out and adding it to the card using foam pads.

I decided it needed just a little something more in the circles, so added the circle stamp in vintage photo distress ink before attaching it to a Kraft base card. I also used a dark brown coloured pencil to add a shadow to the flower.

Here is the finished card...

Blue...

 

Over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group, our challenge theme for this month is 'blue', so I made this card as a little inspiration. 

I began by blending three shades of blue oxide ink over a 15cm square piece of mixed media card.

I splattered it with water and brushed pewter distress spray stain.

Once this was dry I used one of the latest dinkables to add some ink to the background.

I added some distress crackle paste through the brick dinkable with a palette knife and dried with a heat gun. 

I used the Journal art elements 3 and distress oxide inks to add some stamping to the background.

On a scrap of watercolour card, I stamped the largest of the dandedaisies and coloured it with ecoline pens before cutting it out. 

On an 18cm square card, I used the new texture discs to add a little shading. 

I stamped a sentiment from ticker tape 4 in versafine black onto white card and added it to the background, along with the flower using foam pads. 

Here's a close up of the texture and that beautiful flower.

I used:

Distress oxide ink in Prize Ribbon, Uncharted Mariner and Broken China.

Dinkables set 2 and 11

Distress crackle texture paste

Journal Art Elements 3

Doodle Art Dandedaisy stamp set

Blooming Beautiful!

Hi there! I have been busy all week making samples for the Bee Crafty stamp launch on Facebook on Monday, but took a little while out to complete my blog post for today. I have made an inky card for you today. 

I began by smooshing some worn lipstick and peeled paint distress oxide inks onto some mixed media card. 

Next I used crackling campfire and abandoned coral distress oxide ink through a dinkable. 

I added the brick effect with another dinkable and vintage photo distress oxide ink.

On a piece of watercolour paper, I stamped the flower from the doodle art XL ladybird twice, colouring it with ecolines and cutting out the whole flower on one and the centre flower.  

I stamped the leaf from the Just bloom set three times, colouring it with ecolines and cut them out.

On a scrap of card I stamped the sentiment from the same set and layered it with some black paper.

Finally, I matted the background onto a 7x5" blank card, assembling the flower using ultra thick gel medium. 

I used:

Distress oxide inks in worn lipstick, peeled paint and vintage photo

Dinkables sets 2 and 8

Doodle art XL ladybird stamp set

Just Bloom stamp set

Ecoline brush pens

Versafine clair Nocturne ink 

Mixed media paper
