New Stamps and Papers

Hi There! Last Thursday Bev and Sam were on Shop Unlimited with some Brand new stamps and papers. Here are some samples. This first one features the beautiful seahorse on a sheet from the Rainbow bubbles catalyst collage papers. 

Next I created a journal spread using the Doodle art fishes, Dinkables set 7 and some spray inks

Heres a card using some of the worker stamps, a fish and some of the leaf dinkables from sets 6 and 14

For my next journal pages I used more of the Rainbow Bubbles Catalyst collage papers and the Seahorse set

Finally here's another journal page using the Rainbow Boards papers and the Doodle art Fishes, with some of the shells from the seahorse set in the Background. 

Here's where you can find the new stamps and papers on the website:

It's been over a month since I last posted on here because my lovely dad passed away. He was 97 and suffered with Dementia in the last few years. There were many things he enjoyed in life but top of the list were a good cup of tea and a good walk. We are remembering him with a cuppa for Ken at every opportunity in a huge range of locations (he was a geography teacher so would very much love that) If you fancy joining in and want to share your photos, add the hashtag #cuppaforken and let me know x

Something with Wings

 

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

I began by trimming  piece of Catalyst Collage paper from the Spring blooms A5 set to fit the page and stuck it down with Matte Medium.

Next ,I stamped the largest Bee from the Bee Mine stamp set using black Versafine Clair ink, and coloured it with pencils before cutting it out. 

On a separate scrap of card, I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and cut it out.

Using matte medium, I added the bee and the sentiment to the background before adding some black and white faux stitching to finish it off. 

Here is the page opposite it's partner in the journal....

And here is a close-up of the page.

I used:

Moths and inkables

 

Hi there! I am here today with a journal spread that starts with inkables, so more inspiration for this month's challenge. 

I began by wiping a distress oxide ink pad across the bakewell inkable. I spritzed it with water then laid it onto the pages.

Next I smooshed some Rusty Hinge distress oxide over the top. 

When this was dry, I used the small butterfly easy frame innie to add some walnut stain distress oxide ink like a shadow. 

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the two middle-sized moths and coloured them using ecoline markers before cutting them out.  

I added some stamping using the same inks and the Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set. 

Finally I added the moths to the page using matte medium, along with a wordy sticker and a few white pen highlights to the moths.

I used:

Inkables: Big one Bakewell

A sparkly daisy card

 

Hi There! I have a card for you today incorporating some embossing and some faux bleaching. Here's how I made it. 

I began by blending distress inks across a 6x4" piece of satin finish card. 

I used a dinkable from set 11 to add a little more of the Mermaid Lagoon ink 

Once this was dry, I gave it a wipe with an anti-static cloth before stamping the Doodle Art Daisy in Embossing ink and heat embossing it using white embossing powder. 

I painted the daisy with water and lifted the colour using a piece of paper towel. I also gently spattered across the abandoned coral ink and lifted the colour from there too. 

using the same distress inks I stamped the border and another worker stamp around the panel.

Using some metallic watercolour paints I added some paler colours to the daisy. 

I used the same Dinkable to add ink to two corners of an A5 base card. 

I layered the inky panel on to some coordinating paper and added it to the front of the card. 

Finally here's a close up of the shimmery paint on the daisy. 

I used:

Inkables Inspiration

Hi there! I am here with a simple card using stamps and inkables today. As our theme on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group is to use inkables I thought this would provide a little inspiration.  Here's how I made it.
 

I began by blending rusty Hinge ink through a dinkable to create the background.

Next, I stamped the Doodle Art Cone Flower onto some watercolour paper  using Versafine Clair ink and cut it out. I coloured it using ecoline markers

Using some of the smaller stamps from the Coneflower set I added a little stamping around the edge of the card in Versafine Clair Strawberry ink.

Using the dotty stamp from the set, I added a little more to the background in Rusty Hinge Distress ink. 

I added the cone flower on 3d foam pads to the background along with a wordy sticker sentiment. I also added some white pen faux stitching. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

Dinkables set #15

Doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set

My most favourite Bee Crafty Colour Palette yet!

 

Hi there! I had a lovely time playing in my journal with the latest Bee Crafty Palette. Here's what I did. 

I began by sponging Broken China and Twisted Citron across a double page in my 5x5" journal. 

Next I used the Fern Flourish and Bakewell Inkable: Big ones and blended through some Villainous Potion and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks.

I also sprayed a little Twisted citron Distress Spritz through the inkable. 

Whilst the background was drying I stamped the Doodle Art Dragonfly in Versafine clair black ink and coloured it using broken China and Villainous potion Distress Oxide inks. I also added a few white pen dots. 

Once the background was dry I added some stamping using the smaller stamps from Journaling Essentials #9 and the same distress oxide inks. 

Next I added the dragonfly to the page using matte medium. 

On a scrap of lime green card I stamped the ticker tape sentiment in black versafine clair. I cut it out and added it to the page with matte medium. 

Here are the finished pages again.

A Very Quick and Simple Card

 

Hi There! Today I am here with a step by step for a very simple card using this week's crafty Palette. Here's how I made it. 

I began by using masking tape to secure Inkable Mandala 4 to the front of an ivory deckle edged 6x6" blank card. I blended Picked Raspberry, Broken china, Cracked Pistachio and Aged Mahogany through the inkable. 

On a scrap of cream card I blended striped of the same inks and then stamped the smaller Lillius onto the blended ink with Versafine Clair black ink.

Next I cut out the flower and attached it to the front of the card using 3d foam tape.

I added gold liquid pearls to the stamens and used the gelly Roll moonlight sparkle pen to go over the flower to make it twinkle.

Finally I added the sentiment from the Lillius set using Black versafine Clair ink.
