Bee Monarchy

Morning everyone xx

I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a spread from my Art Journal using the fabulous
Bee Monarchy collection 😁

Products used:

Ticker Tape Stamps
Crackle stamp
Distress Oxides
Dinkables

To begin I smooshed Distress Oxides across  my Art Journal pages.

I blended one of the Oxides randomly through the Honeycomb Dinkable 

Using the other Oxide colour I randomly blended through the Brick Wall Dinkable

I stamped the Honeycomb embellishment stamp and the Crackle stamp, around the spread in Black Soot Oxide.

The Bees were stamped on to a piece of card, coloured in with sparkle pens, cut out and adhered to the pages 

The Ticker Tape Sentiments were then stamped, cut out and glued in place and to finish I drew a wiggly frame around the double spread. 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post.

Petunia MDF Tag

Morning 😁

Its Thursday which means I'm over on the
Bee Crafty blog today.
I decided to make an MDF tag and use the gorgeous Pointilism Petunia stamp, which I havnt played with in a while. Xx

Also used:
Crackle Paint stamp
Distress Oxides
Honeycomb Dinkable
Gilding Wax

To begin I blended 3 Distress Oxides directly on to the MDF tag. They cover beautifully without the need to Gesso first.

I randomly applied one of the Distress Oxides through the Honeycomb Dinkable, to add subtle texture.

Holding the Crackle Paint stamp in the palm of my hand, I randomly stamped over small areas of the tag. I find holding it in my hand gives a more distressed and subtle look.

I added a hint of gold Gilding Wax around the edge of the tag.

Once the tag was dry I stamped the gorgeous Petunia in Black Onyx Versafine.

A satin ribbon completed my tag 

I hope you enjoyed todays make and I'll be back again soon

Bird- Time Flies...

Hello everyone

I'm back with my weekly blog to showcase  another make for all you Bee Crafty lovers xx

For this one I decided to play with the beautiful Birds and Butterflies stamp set.
And thought they would work well with the
Pocket Watch 

I also used:
Crackle Paint background stamp
Time Flies stamp set
Pixie Powders
Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide

• Create your background using Pixie powders 
• Stamp the bird in black onyx versafine and mask off
• Stamp the Pocket Watch over the edge of the bird, so it appears it's sitting on there
• Remove mask
• Stamp sentiment in black onyx versafine 
• Ink up a bit of the Crackle Paint stamp in Peacock Feathers DO and stamp randomly on opposite sides of the card

Mount card on card blank with foam pads to add dimension 

I hope you enjoyed today's post.  Any questions,  just ask and I'll be back again with another Bee Crafty blog next Thursday 

Crafty hugs xx
