A Masterpiece Bee Tag

Hello everyone xx

Its Thursday so I'm up on the Bee Crafty blog and today's make is an MDF tag, using stamps from the Bee Script and Bee Monarchy collection.  Xx

Also used:
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Gilding Wax
White gel pen
Ticker Tape Sentiments 

To begin I applied Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide over the tag then blended Picked Raspberry randomly,  through the Honeycomb Dinkable 

I stamped one of the Honeycomb stamps randomly in Black Onyx Versafine 

Holding the Bee Script stamp in the palm of my hand, I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and stamped random parts over the tag.

I used a white gel pen to add highlights and dots. This creates some depth, light and shade to your design.

I stamped the Bee and coloured it in with Sparkks Pens then adhered that, and the Ticker Tape Sentiment  with 3d glue gel. 

I hope you enjoyed todays post and I'll be back again soon

Why, Art Journal spread

Morning everyone xx

I'm over on the Bee Crafty blog today with a spread from my Art Journal. 

I wanted to use my Doodle Art stamps, but had no specific idea in mind, so I just went for it, and this was the end result lol. That's what I love about my Art Journal, the freedom to just create...

Products used:

Doodle Art stamp sets

Big One - Inkable - Chrysanthemum 

Distress Oxides 

Ticker Tape 2 Sentiments 

Sparkle pens from my Crafty stash 

Having gessoed my pages first, I blended Distress Oxides randomly through the Chrysanthemums Big One Inkable. I wasnt careful and I applied different pressures, to create depth and dimension.

I stamped all the Doodle flowers, from all the different sets I had, randomly across the bottom of the pages. 

The Butterfly was then stamped twice, going off the edge of the page, again to add dimension and perspective. 

I used a couple of the small embellishment stamps, from some of the sets, randomly across the spread, including the splatter of dots one, around the flowers. 

I then coloured in using my sparkle pens. I wanted a watercolour effect to this spread, so I coloured in very loosely, leaving white spaces, going over the edges, and blending colours together. I love how this technique gives a completely different look to a more precise, neat colouring technique.  

The Ticker Tape sentiment was stamped on white card, cut out and adhered, to complete my spread.

I hope you liked it, it was a lot of fun to create.

Until next time,

Go be Free Art Journal

Morning everyone xx

I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a spread from my Art Journal, using the fabulous, and quirky, Journaling Girls.

Also used:
Journaling girl- Cheer Sassy
Acrylic paint
White Posca pen
Versafine
Alcohol Markers
Travel Words

To begin I Gessoed the pages and then applied Acrylic Paints randomly over the spread. I then drew random white circles with my white Posca pen

I used a black pen and drew very loosely around the circles,  to make them pop. 

I stamped some of the small embellishment stamps from the Journaling Girls collection, around the pages, in black onyx Versafine 

The Journaling Girls were stamped on super smooth card and coloured in with my Alcohol Markers. I also stamped out the Journaling Blocks and stamped some of the Travel Words on them.

These were then cut out and adhered to the pages, to complete this weeks make.

Many thanks for taking the time to have a look. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of these fabulous girls.
