Dreams come true

Hey everyone xx

Any plans for today?
I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card I made using the utterly beautiful Swallow stamp xx

Also used:
Wildflower 1 
Inspirational Words 1 
Distress Oxides
Dinkables
Gelli Plate

I created my background using my Gelli Plate. (However you can create a similar effect, blending Distress Oxides, and stamping each layer separately  using the Circle Easy Frame Inkable).

I inked up my Gelli Plate with Distress Oxides, blending through the Honeycome Dinkable, and stamping the Wildflower randomly on the plate. 

Then I applied my plate to the front of my card blank. I printed a second generation print from it on the lower right of the card blank.

The Swallow, and Sentiment was stamped in Smokey Grey Versafine.

To complete I used my clear Sparkle pen  to add a hint of sparkle to my Swallow xx

I hope you enjoyed today's make. See you again soon.

April Swallow...

Morning crafters xx
Im on the Bee Crafty blog today with a Calendar page I made using the beautiful Swallow stamp. I combined it with one of the gorgeous Mandela Inkables, to create this beautiful spread

Also used:
Distress Oxide
Versafine
Kuretake Clean Colour pens
Sparkle pen

I began by stamping my beautiful Swallow in Smokey Grey Versafine.
I coloured it in with Kuretake Clean Colour pens and a water brush. I added some sparkle to the feathers using a clear Sparkle pen.
I inked through random sections of the gorgeous Mandela with my distress Oxides to finish.
Simple but soo effective

Thankyou for stopping by for this weeks post

Morning crafters xx

As it's Thursday,  it's my turn over on the
Buzzy Goings On At Bee Crafty Blog 

Today I'm showcasing the very beautiful
Carnation large flower stamp. I've teamed it up with the gorgeous Swallow ..a gorgeous combination I think x

Also used
Everyday Sentiments 1
Bark - Positive
Sparkle pens
Kuretake clean colour pens

For this sample I took the pens straight to the stamp, applying the ink using the side of my pens, so as not to ruin the hairs

I spritzed with water before stamping the images

Using a water brush, I moved some of the ink around, whilst still wet, to give a watercolour effect

The sentiment was stamped in Vintage Photo DO

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll be back next Thursday with another Bee Crafty make
