Hi everyone xx

I'm back on the Bee Crafty blog today with a page from my Art Journal using the fabulous Collage ART stamp, Light Up 

Also used:
XL Creativity words 
Dinkables
Bubble wrap positive stamp 
Embossing powder
Distress Oxides 
Versmark
Acrylic Paint

To create this page it's all about layers. Adding different mediums, stamps and stencils on top of each other, to create depth and dimension.

To begin I applied Acrylic Paints to the black Art Journal page. 

I dried these off then added some random areas of white Acrylic Paint to break the page up.

I blended Distress Oxides through the Brick wall Dinkable and stamped the Bubble wrap positive stamp,  randomly over the page.

Once completely dry I stamped the Collage ART stamp in Versmark then applied white embossing powder 

To complete I stamped, cut out and adhered the XL creativity words and drew a frame around the edges with a black sharpie 

I hope you like today's make. I'll be back again soon

Doodle Art

Hello xx

Is everyone ok? Have you been busy crafting? I know I have 😁
I'm up on the Bee Crafty blog today with something new for me... a Jigsaw puzzle!!
Had a lot of fun creating this sample for a recent Hochanda show , using stamps from my favourite ever Bee Crafty collection...Doodle Art 😘

Products used:
Doodle Art: Butterfly, Dragonfly
Distress Oxide 
Dinkable
Sparkle Pens

To begin I blended Distress Oxides randomly over the puzzle pieces, drying in between each layer of colour applied. 

I then blended the Oxides through the Honeycomb Dinkable.

The main images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine and dried off thoroughly with my heat gun.

Some of the small embellishment stamps, from both sets, were stamped randomly all over the puzzle.

I used my sparkle pens to colour in all my images.

To complete I drew a wiggly frame around my puzzle then added random dots around the frame, and around some parts of the focal images.  

I hope you enjoyed my make today.  I'll definately be doing another puzzle again

Doodle Art MDF Journal sample

Morning xx

Following on from my Bee Crafty DT blog last week, here is my final sample, as promised.
Something a little new for me...an MDF journal!  using the fabulous Doodle Art collection of stamps and coordinating products.
Although somewhat apprehensive at the start, I soon got in to the flow of making this, and I loved every minute! Anything goes...let your creative juices flow lol

Products used:
Doodle Art stamp sets: Bee, Sunflower, Dragonfly, Butterfly, Girl
MDF Journal
Inkables
Dinkables
Versafine
Versmark
Clear embossing powder
Distress Oxide
Kuretake Clean Colour pens
Sparkle pen
Gilding Wax
Texture paste

I started the journal by applying texture paste, through various Dinkables, on some of the pages. I already had a rough idea of what images I was going to use on each page, so I used Dinkables I felt would coordinate with each design.

Once completely dry I blended Distress Oxides to each spread of pages, using a different colour combination on each. 

Having ensured everything was dry I blended more distress Oxides through various Dinkables, to add extra dimension to each page.

I then worked on 1 spread at a time,stamping the images in Black Versafine. 

Each spread was coloured in with a mixture of mediums, Kuretake Clean Colour pens, Alcohol Pens, Sparkle Pens, depending on the effect and colours I wanted to achieve. 

I added highlights of Gold or Silver Gilding Wax to the areas of raised texture paste, around the edges of the pages, and where I felt a hint of highlight would work. 

I also used a white gel pen, to add highlights as appropriate. 

Once dry, the rings were put through to complete the journal. 

I hope you enjoyed looking through today's post. I has soo much fun creating this MDF journal, and I hope there will be more in the future
