Animal Farm stamp set by MFT

Hi everyone

It's Monday and I'm back with my weekly blog for Bumbleberry Papercrafts

I'm showcasing the Animal Farm stamp set from My Favourite Things

I've incorporated some of my dies from my own crafty stash,  to show how versatile this set is and how you can use it with any of your other products

Also used :
Kuretake clean colour pens
Coloured paper
Versafine : Black onyx, Smokey Grey
Dies from my crafty stash

• The fence and grass were cut using dies from my crafty stash and adhered to card blank 
• Stamp out the characters in Smokey Grey versafine,  colour in with Kuretake clean colour pens and a water brush and cut out
• Adhere using 3d glue gel to add dimension 
• Stamp sentiment in black onyx versafine
• I stamped a couple of clouds (from my crafty stash) but you can create clouds using some torn paper and inks

I hope you'll agree that this set, whilst cute, can be used in so many ways and can be combined with anything you have sat in your craft room

Many thanks for popping by and I'll be back again next Monday with another post for

Bird- Time Flies...

Pixie Powders
Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide

• Create your background using Pixie powders 
• Stamp the bird in black onyx versafine and mask off

• Remove mask
• Stamp sentiment in black onyx versafine 
• Ink up a bit of the Crackle Paint stamp in Peacock Feathers DO and stamp randomly on opposite sides of the card

Mount card on card blank with foam pads to add dimension 

I hope you enjoyed today's post.  Any questions,  just ask and I'll be back again with another Bee Crafty blog next Thursday
