Laugh Loud

Good morning crafters xx

It's Thursday which means I'm on the
Bee Crafty blog today xx

I've been playing with the stunning Time Measure stamp set xx

Also used:
Everyday sentiment 2 set
Dinkables
Texture, circles and film strip set
Kuretake clean colour pens
Distress Oxides
Versafine

To begin I stamped the fabulous Time Measure stamp in black onyx Versafine.
I used my Kuretake clean colour pens to colour in the 2 butterflies, within the design
I stamped some of the texture circles randomly in Distress Oxides
I also blended Distress Oxides through the Honeycomb, and Dots and Lines Dinkables.
The sentiment was stamped in black onyx versafine and a black wiggly frame was drawn around the edge of the card.
I adhered the card to the front of the card blank to complete my make.

Thankyou for popping by and I'll be back again soon.

Doodle Art Bird

Morning xx

Hope everyone is good. Any crafty plans for today?

I've been getting a bit festive, (yes its August!!) with my Doodle Art sets. These make such fun and festive Christmas cards and here are a selection of cards using the delightful Bird, as the focal image. Love the wellies and this image is perfect for a couple of little girls I know 😁

Hope you enjoy today's weekly Bee Crafty blog post xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: all of them!! 🤣
Distress Oxides
Versafine
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli Plate

Whilst I have made my backgrounds for these particular cards, on my Gelli Plate, you can achieve a similar effect by applying Distress Oxides to an acrylic block. Spritz with water and apply the ink direct to the card blank. Then stamp your desired images within the inked panel to create a random design

All my images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel of this look. It's simple, crisp, clean and fun..just like me?? 🤣

I coloured in some aspects of the images, either with kuretake clean colour pens or sparkle pens, but you can use whatever you have in your crafty stash 

I hope you enjoyed looking through today's post. I'll see you again soon.

Dreams are the touchstones...

Hello everyone xx

Its Thursday which means I'm on the
Bee Crafty blog 😁

I decided to mix up my stamps for this weeks make, so here's what I've used

Pocket Watch
Feathered Wings
Doodle Art Bird
Doodle Art Dragonfly
Bubble Wrap Positive stamp
Ticker Tape 2 sentiment stamp set
Dinkables
Distress Oxides
Gelli Plate

I created this background using my Gelli Plate, brayering it with Distress Oxides, then stamping with the Bubble Wrap Positive and blending through the Stripes and Dots Dinkables. 

I printed this onto a piece of square card 

I stamped the Pocket Watch and masked it off.

I then stamped the Feathered Wings, and various flowers from the 2 Doodle Art sets, in Versafine.

The masking tape was removed. 

I coloured the flowers, and parts of the Pocket Watch, with my watercolour pencils. 

I adhered this on to black card and then on to my card blank.

To finish I stamped my sentiment, cut it up and glued with 3d gel

Thanks for popping by.

See you soon

Enjoy the journey

Hi everyone xx
For this weeks Bee Crafty blog  post, I'm sharing the August page of a Calendar I made as a gift 😁
I used the gorgeous Seahorse stamp from the Under the sea collection.

Also used:
Distress Oxides 
Clear sparkle pen
Versafine
Glitter card

To create this Calendar page I cut a piece of glitter card, and a slightly smaller piece of white card.

I blended Distress Oxides, spritzing water droplets on, in between each layer.

Using the Oxides I stamped the Seahorse and seaweed.

I added a hint of sparkle to the Seahorse, with a clear sparkle pen, and also to the air bubbles to create the effect of dimension. 

Once dry I adhered this to the glitter card and then on to the Calendar page.

The Sentiments were stamped in Versafine,  to complete the page. 

These handmade Calendars make such a lovely personalised gift for friends and family. 

Thankyou for popping by and I'll be back soon

Have a marvellous Day

Hello crafters

How are you all?
I'm back on the Bee Crafty blog today with another make using the fabulous
Light Tomorrow  stamp set. I do love the versatility this stamp offers xx

Products used :
Light Tomorrow stamp set
Trio of Butterflies
Everyday Sentiments
White ink
Transfer foil
Gold Acrylic Paint
White gel pen

I stamped the Light Bulb in white ink then masked it off

The Butterflies were also stamped in white ink, ensuring parts of the stamped image was over the masked Light Bulb. This gives the effect of flying behind the Bulb

I used a white gel pen to add a butterfly trail

Gold Acrylic Paint was used to colour in the bulb working from light in the centre, getting darker towards the outer edges 

This was matted onto gold mirri then adhered to card blank to complete

Thankyou for popping by and I'll be back again soon
