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

Hooray by Stamps By Me and Moon by Bee Crafty

Morning crafters
Mid week already..where has the time gone lol

Today I'd like to share a card I made incorporating several different companies products.  I love how everything mixes and matches together

For my card I used
Hooray stamp by Stamps By Me 
Moon stamp by Bee Crafty
Angry Birds by Tim Holtz

Also used:
Distress Inks : Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio
Black onyx versafine ink

To begin this fun card I stamped up the Moon stamp with the DI'S 

I then stamped the outline stamp, from the Hooray stamp set, in black onyx versafine ink. Once heat dried I then stamped the solid stamp in DI'S,  over the outline image 

The fun and cute Angry Birds were stamped in the versafine ink and then a hint of colour was added using the DI'S and a water brush 

To complete I stamped the sentiment,  from the Angry Birds set, in the versafine ink 

I love how these products all work so effectively together

Always Loved stamp set by Stamps By Me and Moon stamp by Bee Crafty

Good morning everyone

Hope you have a lovely Sunday planned

I'm sharing a card I made using the beautiful
Always Loved stamp set
True Friends stamp set

 by Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Moon stamp (Bee Crafty )
Distress inks : Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick
Black onyx versafine ink

To begin I cut a panel of white card the width of my 6x6 card blank

I masked off a strip and stamped the Moon in Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick DI,  so only half the moon shows 

I then masked off the half moon and blended the blue DI'S on the top half of the panel and the cracked pistachio DI on the bottom. I also used torn paper to create the illusion of depth

Laying the stamped strip across my card blank, using temporary adhesive tape, I stamped the beautiful flowers onto the card blank, so they also stamped across the panel

I then adhered the strip with foam pads to add more depth to my card

To complete I stamped the sentiment from the True Friends stamp set, in black ink 

I hope you like my card

Enjoy your day

Moon and sentiment stamps from Bee Crafty

Good morning everyone

I'm spending the day with my beautiful 4 week old granddaughter who's come to visit for a few days.. soo in love with this little girl xx

Anyways today I'm sharing a card I had fun making using the
Moon stamp and
Circle friendship sentiment stamp
Both are by Bee Crafty

Also used:
Distress Inks : Squeezed Lemonade,  Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade
Black onyx versafine ink

I began by cutting a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card 

I inked my Moon stamp up, on the white card, with the DI's, and stamped it in the centre top 

I masked the moon off

I blended my DI's over the white card, starting from the moon outwards and once happy, i spritzed water droplets on it, which were then dabbed off with a paper towel 

The sentiment was stamped in the black onyx versafine ink 

I adhered this to the black card and then onto the card blank, to complete my make

I hope you like it. It's not what I had planned when I originally started playing but I love the effect I ended up with
