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

LIFE Tag

Morning xx

My turn over on the Bee Crafty blog and I have an MDF tag for you, using the gorgeous Birds on A Wire and Wildflowers xx

Also used:

I then stamped the beautiful Birds on a Wire in the Black Onyx Versafine.

To complete I stamped and heat embossed the Ticker Tape sentiment then adhered with 3d glue gel.

Flock of Birds Tag

Morning everyone xx

I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a tag using the gorgeous BEAUtanicals Wildflowers, and the Flock of Birds.

Also used:
Acrylic paints
Versafine
White gel pen
MDF tag 

I applied the Acrylic paints directly to my MDF tag

The Wildflowers were stamped in Black onyx Versafine and then again in a lighter Smokey Grey, to add depth and shade 

The Flock of Birds were also stamped in the Smokey Grey Versafine 

To finish I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the Wildflowers. Again this adds light and shade to your make.

Petunia MDF Tag

Morning 😁

Its Thursday which means I'm over on the
Bee Crafty blog today.
I decided to make an MDF tag and use the gorgeous Pointilism Petunia stamp, which I havnt played with in a while. Xx

Also used:
Crackle Paint stamp
Distress Oxides
Honeycomb Dinkable
Gilding Wax

To begin I blended 3 Distress Oxides directly on to the MDF tag. They cover beautifully without the need to Gesso first.

I randomly applied one of the Distress Oxides through the Honeycomb Dinkable, to add subtle texture.

Holding the Crackle Paint stamp in the palm of my hand, I randomly stamped over small areas of the tag. I find holding it in my hand gives a more distressed and subtle look.

I added a hint of gold Gilding Wax around the edge of the tag.

Once the tag was dry I stamped the gorgeous Petunia in Black Onyx Versafine.

A satin ribbon completed my tag 

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

Pocket Watch tag

Hi everyone xx

I'm over on the Bee Crafty blog today with a tag I made using the Pocket Watch stamp  as a focal image xx

Also used:
Compass 2 Inkable 
Bubblewrap
Distress Oxides: faded Jeans, peacock feathers, iced spruce, black soot

To begin my project I blended the 3 Distress Oxides randomly over the tag.

Using some diluted bleach I dabbed through the Compass Inkable, to create a washed out effect.

I applied Black Soot to a piece of Bubblewrap and stamped it randomly around the tag.

To finish I stamped the Pocket Watch off the edge of the tag then attached some ribbon.

I hope you liked todays make. See you again soon

Sending Love stamp set by Stamps By Me

Afternoon.
I made this mdf tag this morning and popped it on my newsfeed so thought I'd pop a quick blog post on explaining how it was made
It's using the new
Sending Love lamination stamp set available from
Www.stampsbyme.co.uk 

I drew round the mdf tag on watercolour card and cut it out

I stamped Versmark ink through a dotty stencil and heat embossed with clear embossing powder 

Using Squeezed lemonade, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress inks I created a blended, smooshed background all over the card

I stamped the outline stamps in black versafine ink and gave it quick heat blast

I used my kuretake clean colour pens directly onto the solid stamp, spritzing with water first, and stamped over just the centre stamped outline. I restamped it several times using different kuretake colours to create more dimension to the flower 

 I stamped two of the sentiment stamp in black versafine ink 

The watercolour card was then glued to the mdf tag and I used sandpaper around the edges to neaten them

To complete I used my finger to rub gold pebeo gilding wax around the edges of the tag, which I then buffed with a soft cloth 

I hope you like my tag
