Prehistoric Dinosaur journal

Hello lovely crafters

I thought I'd share my MDF mini journal over on the Bee Crafty blog today. I used the fabulous Prehistoric Dinosaur collection recently launched on Hochanda

Products used:
Triceratops stamp set- XL and Regular
Tyrannosaurus Rex stamp set
MDF mini journal 
Dinkables
Texture paste
Gilding wax
Acrylic paint

To begin I used texture paste through the Leafy Branch Dinkable, using the stamps as a guide as to where I wanted the leaves to be.

Once dry I painted all the pages in various coloured Acrylic paints. I like to apply the paint with my fingers, blending colours together.

Once dried I applied Gilding wax over the texture paste.

Having prepped all my pages I began stamping and colouring in my images using inks  sparkle pens or embossing powders.

I also used Dinkables, with Distress Oxides,  to add more dimension to some pages.

 I stamped the Sentiments and attached the pages by the rings supplied. 

I then adhered the metal embellishment to the front page, using gel glue. I also tied some ribbons on the rings, and attached another metal embellishment to the ribbon.

To finish I painted over the wooden word embellishment and adhered with the glue gel.

I hope you enjoyed today's post

If the sky could dream ...of Dragons

Hello crafters xx

How are we?
I'm excited to share a card on the Bee Crafty blog today, using the absolutely fabulous Dragon stamp...how awesome is this image. So many possibilities. ...

Also used:
Dinkable: Feather
Bubble wrap positive stamp
Distress Oxides 
Versafine

I stamped the Bubble wrap in Distress Oxides,  randomly over my card blank. I find holding the stamp in the palm of my hand gives a more random, distressed effect. This was set to one side to dry.

I tore a square of card and created an inky background using inks

I dried this off thoroughly before stamping the amazing Dragon in black onyx versafine

I stamped the Bubble wrap randomly in the same ink as I used on the card blank

I blended Distress Oxides through the Feathers Dinkable to create the effect of fire coming from his mouth, highlighting the flames with a gel pen to make them pop more  

I adhered this to the card blank.  Stamped the sentiment in black onyx versafine and then drew a wiggly frame with a black pen

Thankyou for popping by the blog today

Under the sea

Hello

I've been crafting away in my Art Journal again, as I'm up on the Bee Crafty blog.
Today's page uses the absolutely gorgeous Conch Shell stamp and the little Jelly Fish from the Jellyfish stamp set

Also used:

Acrylic paints
Distress Oxide 
White embossing powder
Sparkle pen

I put some paints on my blending mat, added water then smooshed my page through the paints, until I was happy with the effect.

I stamped and coloured in the Seaweeds with Distress Oxides.

Once dry I stamped and heat embossed my shells in white. 

The Shells were coloured in with a pink sparkle pen.

To complete I stamped the air bubbles and added highlights with a white own

Many thanks for popping over to my blog today
