LIFE Tag

Morning xx

My turn over on the Bee Crafty blog and I have an MDF tag for you, using the gorgeous Birds on A Wire and Wildflowers xx

Also used:
Versafine
Ticker Tape
Ink Sprays

Here is the completed tag 😁

To begin I sprayed the tag with various ink sprays, including some Dylusions ones.

Once dry I stamped the Wildflowers first and second generation, in both Black Onyx and Smokey Grey Versafine. This adds depth and dimension.

I then stamped the beautiful Birds on a Wire in the Black Onyx Versafine.

To complete I stamped and heat embossed the Ticker Tape sentiment then adhered with 3d glue gel. 

I hope you liked todays make and I'll see you all again soon.

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

Moon and Birds On A Wire stamp set by Bee Crafty

Afternoon  lovely crafters xx

How are we all?

Been having a play and made this CAS card using the beautiful stamps from
Bee Crafty . I sometimes think less is more and like to let the words and images do the talking. I hope you agree.


Moon
Birds On A Wire  
Circle of Friends

Also used:
Distress Inks : Shaded Lilac, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Mowed Grass
Black onyx versafine ink

• I cut a strip of black card and slightly narrower strip of white card, to fit across my card blank 
• Setting the black card aside,  I blended the blue DI'S over the panel. This was adhered to black card with wet glue and set to one side
• I stamped the Moon on a seperate piece of card,  firstly in the Mowed Grass DI. I then reinked the Moon in Broken China, turned it 180 degrees and stamped over the blue stamped image. This created a two tone Moon
• I die cut the Moon with a circle die

• I placed the Moon over the strip to allow me to work out where I wanted the Birds on A Wire to be stamped, so the end would sit behind the Moon
• I stamped it in black onyx versafine ink 

• I masked off my sentiment stamp and used the panel as a guide so I could stamp part of the sentiment above the panel and the rest below. I used the black versafine ink 

• I then assembled the elements of the card using wet glue, and foam pads behind the Moon

I hope you like my use of these stamps
