With Love

Hello everyone xx

As its Thursday I'm on the Bee Crafty blog with a new make for you xx

I couldn't resist getting out my Doodle Art stamp sets. Absolutely love these and I've mixed and matched all the different elements together xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: Dragonfly, Butterfly, Bee
Texture, Film Strip and Circles stamp set
Everyday Sentiments 2
Distress Oxides 
Sparkle pens
Gelli Plate

I created an inky background using my Gelli Plate, Distress Oxides and the Texture Circles.(You can create a similar background without the Gelli Plate, smooshing the Distress Oxides on a mat etc).

The focal images were stamped in Black onyx Versafine. 

I coloured them in using my Sparkle pens.... love a bit of Sparkle lol.

The sentiment was stamped in the Versafine.

I matted my card onto black card and then to my card blank, to complete this weeks make.

Thankyou for stopping by

Believe in Magic

Hi everyone xx

It's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card I made using the gorgeous Unicorn Magic stamp. Love this collection, what is there not to love about Unicorns 🤣

Also used:
Bubblewrap Positive stamp 
XL Doodle Art Baubles stamp
Distress Oxides 
Gelli Plate

To begin my card I grabbed my beloved Gelli Plate. Not had it long but I'm loving it lol.

(You can create similar backgrounds by creating your inked panel and then stamping/stencilling each component). 

But I love the printed one layer effect you get with the Gel Plate.  

I used Distress Oxides on my plate, spritzed with water, and stamped the bubblewrap stamp in a different colour. 

I then printed my background on to the front of my card blank

I stamped the Unicorn, sentiment and the silhouette Unicorns, in Versafine Onyx Black. I also stamped the little stars from the Doodle Art Baubles set.

Using the bleaching effect, I lifted some of the ink from the Unicorn. I then added a hint of sparkle from my clear Sparkle pen. 

To complete I drew a wiggly frame around my inked panel. 

I hope you enjoyed todays post and I'll see you again soon

Doodle Art Robin

Morning xx

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a crafty day?
I've been getting a bit festive with my Doodle Art sets, yet again, and here are a selection of cards using the delightful Robin, as the focal image.
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 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 to this style.

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 

Well there today's selection of makes. Until next time.

Every hour is a dream

Hi crafters xx

I'm on the Buzzy Goings On At Bee Crafty Blog today with my make using the brilliant Skyline Inkables. I love the versatility of these and they can be used for any occasion

Products used :
Skyline Inkables 
Every hour is a Dream sentiment
Birds On A Wire 
Distress Oxides
Versafine

Having created a background using Distress Oxides, I then inked through various Skyline Inkables in coordinating and graduating Oxides
I added highlights with a white gel pen
The Birds On A Wire and sentiment, were stamped in black onyx versafine
This was then matted onto black card before adhering to card blank

A simple but beautiful card that would look completely different in other colour combinations

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