Let your dreams blossom

Morning xx

So, as it's Thursday, I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today, but, this will be my final Bee Crafty DT blog 😥
I have had an amazing journey with Bev and Sam, and I will continue to support and promote their fabulous family  business. Please do support them to, even more so in this current crisis  xx

Anyway, back to today's blog, here is my Art Journal, using those gorgeous Journaling Girls again xx

Also used:
Journaling Girl - Elegant
Journaling Blocks
Big One Inkable - Andalucian
Dylusions Ink Spray - Crushed Grape
Just Bloom stamp set
Dreams Blossom stamp set
Geometric Walls stamp set

To begin I used the Crushed  Grape Dylusions spray randomly through the Andalucian Inkable

Using the small embellishment stamps from the Just Bloom stamp set, I inked them in Black Onyx Versafine and stamped them randomly around the pages. 

I did the same with one of the smaller stamps from the Geometric Walls set.

The Girl, a Journaling block and some flowers, from the Just Bloom set, were stamped on card and coloured in with my Alcohol Markers.  I cut them all out then stamped a sentiment from the Just Bloom set, on the Journaling block, before adhering them all on the right hand page of my Journal.

I stamped another sentiment, from the Dreams Blossom stamp set, cut it out and adhered it to the left hand page, to finish. 

I had great fun creating this spread and I hope you enjoyed looking through todays post.

Many thanks for everyone who has followed my Bee Crafty blogs

February Bee Crafty Challenge Project

Morning everyone xx

Here is my project for the February Bee Crafty challenge, details of which you can find in the Bee Crafty stamps Facebook Group.

Products used:,

LOVE Inkable 

Hearts Inkable 

Dinkables: hearts, leafy branch

Distress Oxide  : Peacock Feathers,  Candied Apple

To begin I applied some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide to a glass mat, spritzed with water then smooshed it randomly over my page spread.

I blended the same Distress Oxide through the LOVE Inkable.

Candied Apple Distress Oxide was applied randomly, through the Hearts Dinkable.

I then blended around the LOVE, through individual hearts, from the Hearts Inkable.

I used both Peacock Feathers and Candied Apple through the Leafy Branch,  around the edges of my pages.

To complete my Art Journal spread, I drew a frame, with a fine black pen.

I hope you enjoyed my Challenge Project. 

Please give it a go, you may win that fantastic prize 😁😁

Pocket Watch tag

Hi everyone xx

I'm over on the Bee Crafty blog today with a tag I made using the Pocket Watch stamp  as a focal image xx

Also used:
Compass 2 Inkable 
Bubblewrap
Distress Oxides: faded Jeans, peacock feathers, iced spruce, black soot

To begin my project I blended the 3 Distress Oxides randomly over the tag.

Using some diluted bleach I dabbed through the Compass Inkable, to create a washed out effect.

I applied Black Soot to a piece of Bubblewrap and stamped it randomly around the tag.

To finish I stamped the Pocket Watch off the edge of the tag then attached some ribbon.

I hope you liked todays make. See you again soon

Don't believe everything

Morning crafters

As it's a Thursday I'm on the Bee Crafty blog. For this weeks post I'm sharing a page from my Art Journal,  using the lovely Ledger Measure stamp set. I love the freedom of playing in my journal as I just let my creativity flow and see where I end up xx

Also used:
Metal Work Inkable 
Dinkables
Distress Inks
Ticker Tape Sentiments stamp set
Random Numbers stamp set

To begin I added some white gesso to my page and dried it off. This gives me a lovely base for any mediums I wish to throw at it lol.

I inked through the Metal Work Inkable, randomly on the page, in a Distress Ink. 

I then did the same in another colour, using the Circles Dinkable. 

With the same Distress Ink, I randomly stamped some of the Random Numbers off the edge of my page, to add more depth.

The beautiful Ledger Measure was inked up with Black Onyx Versafine and stamped off the page slightly.

To finish I stamped, cut up and adhered a Ticker Tape Sentiment to the page, then drew some wiggly lines, in a black pen, to frame my page.

I hope you liked todays creativity and I'll be back again soon.

Products used :

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
