Dream it!!!

 

Hi There! The latest stamps from Bee Crafty are so gorgeous I just can't put them away! Thought I would show you how I made this card today. 

I began by swiping the dinkables with distress oxide inks and misting them with water before laying then=m onto a piece of mixed media paper.

I smooshed the excess ink onto the background over the dinkable prints.

Using some of the worker stamps I added some stamping to the background using the same inks. 

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the flower and a couple of leaves and cut them out, colouring with ecoline pens. 

Using the Gelly Roll Moonlight pens I added a few highlights to the flower and the background. 

On another scrap of card, I stamped the sentiment in black Versafine Clair and cut it out. 

Finally, I attached the background to the base card, then added the flower, leaves and sentiment using 3d glue. 

I used:

5x5" square card

Mixed media card

Dinkables set 13

Distress oxide inks in Crackling campfire and uncharted Mariner

Journaling essentials 5 stamp set

Black versafine clair ink

Ecoline pens

Gellyroll Moonlight pens

Ticker Tape set 3 wordage stamps

3d glue gel

New Bee Crafty stamps and D'inkables samples

Hi There! Did you see the new stamps and dinkables from Bee Crafty launched yesterday? Here are the samples I made with them. For the first I used distress oxide inks in crackling campfire and uncharted mariner. 

My second sample used resist technique using clear embossing over a distress oxide background. 

My Hey Sunshine card was made by smooshing some mixed media card, then adding to the background with stamps and the new dinkables. The flowers were stamped onto watercolour card and coloured using ecoline pens. 

This concertina card was made with Distress oxide sprays, texture paste and watercoloured flowers. 

This is a simple single layer card with leaves and sentiment heat embossed in copper. 

I decided to use autumn colours to stamp the leaves, masking off a strip using tape, that was then used to stamp the sentiment. 

Finally here is the card I made during my live yesterday
 You can find the bundle here but only for today.

The new stamps and inkables are:

Journaling Essentials #4

Journaling Essentials #5

D'inkables set 13

Thanks for looking! I hope you can join me live at 8pm over on the Bee Crafty Facebook page.

Spring flowers

 

Hi There! I am here with a bit of spring colour to brighten your day. Here is how I made it.

I began by blending distress oxide through the Grande inkable onto a 15x15cm ivory base card.

On a 9cm square of ivory card I stamped the stems and buds from Journaling essentials #3 along with some leaves on a scrap of the same card, colouring them in with an ecoline pen and cutting out the leaves.

I added some background stamping from the same set to the square using distress oxide inks

I stamped and cut out three of the bells. I also stamped these onto the main panel where the cut outs were to be stuck on so I didn't need to tackle cutting out the stamens. 

Finally I matted and layered the square onto the card, adding the leaves and flowers with a little 3d glue gel.

Here is the finished card again

I used:

15x15cm ivory card

Inkables Grande - squircles

Distress oxide inks - I used picked Raspberry, Crackling Campfire, mustard seed, lucky clover, peacock feathers and wilted violet

9x9cm of ivory card

Journaling essentials #3 stamp set

Versafine Clair ink - I used green oasis and glamorous

Green ecoline pen

3d glue gel

card for matting and layering

My Favourites

 

Hi There! Our new challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps facebook group is to show us your favourites, so I thought I would use my favourite colours, favourite stamps and favourite inkables to create a journal page. Here's how I did it.

I began by painting waves of my favourite colours of acrylic paint across both pages.

Next I added some white gesso with a stencil brush through the Bakewell big one inkable.

Using Tag inkables set #1 I added some black gesso with a stencil brush.

I decided it needed lifting a bit so added a little gilding wax to the black gesso. 

Next I stamped one of the doodle art mandalas using versamark ink and embossed in gold embossing powder. 

On a separate piece of card I stamped the sunflower in Black versafine Clair ink, Cut it out and coloured with ecoline markers. 

I also cut out words and circles from the latest releases of transparencies and attached to the page with matte medium. Finally, I added a simple border using Gelly Roll pens and some white splatters. 

Here is the finished page again.

I used:

Dylusions mini Journal

Acrylic paint - I used a mixture of Dina Wakley and Dylusions

White gesso

Black gesso

Inkables Big one Bakewell

inkables tag set 1

versamark ink 

Gilding wax

gold embossing powder

Doodle Art Mandala set #2 Stamps

Doodle Art Sunflower stamp set

Black Versafine Clair ink pad
