Time flies

Morning everyone xx

It's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog today so thought I'd have another go at making some ATC'S.
For my focal image I got out the beautiful
Feathered Wings. These are awesome and so versatile xx

Also used:
Retro dots and dash
Time Flies
Distress Oxides 
White paint pen

To begin I blended Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxides randomly on my ATC cards.

I stamped the Retro dot and dash stamp in the Wilted Violet.

Using a posca white paint pen I have, I drew some random circles and squares

The beautiful Feathered Wings were stamped randomly on both ATC'S in Versafine 

To complete I stamped the sentiment on a piece of card twice, then cut out the Time Flies   and adhered them with medium gel. 

I hope you like my makes and I'll be back again very 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

Pocket Watch, TIME and Time Flies stamps by Bee Crafty

Hi ... I'm back again

Here's another card I made whilst playing with my stamps from Bee Crafty and this card is based around a DT sample I made for the Time Hochanda show. I loved how it came out so I thought I'd make a slight variation to it

I used the following stamp sets :
Pocket Watch
TIME
Time Flies

Also used:
Inkables Template: Circles
Dinkable Template: Chainlink
Distress Oxides  : Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber
Smokey Grey versafine ink

• I cut a panel of black card and a slightly smaller panel of white card 
• The Pocket Watch was stamped in Smokey Grey versafine ink off the edge of the left hand side of the card panel
• Masking off the Pocket Watch,  I inked Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide through the Circles Inkable
• I repeated this with the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide through the Dinkable Chainlink template
• Keeping the mask in place, I stamped the various cogs, in the Distress Oxides, in a random manner around the Pocket Watch 
• The mask was then removed 
• I inked up the TIME section of the sentiment only, in the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide and stamped it in a graduated pattern down the right hand side
• This was then adhered to the black card and adhered to card blank with wet glue 
• To complete I inked up the Time Flies section only, of the sentiment and stamped it in the Smokey Grey versafine ink 

I hope you like the use of these stamps and please check out the Bee Crafty website for lots more fabulous products

DT samples for the new Time products by Bee Crafty

Good morning xx

How is everyone?  Do we have a crafty day planned?

I'm back today with my weekly blog for
Bee Crafty

Following on from last week's blog I'd like to showcase the rest of my DT samples for the new Time products, recently released on Hochanda

Last week I showed the mdf makes, today I'd like to share the cards I made using the same products

Pocket Watch stamp
Cogs stamp
Key stamp
Ladies Profile stamp
TIME stamp
Time Flies stamp

Also used:
Distress Oxides
Black onyx versafine ink
Inkables Tempate: Circles
Dinkable : Chain link
Versmark ink
White embossing powder
Pixie Powders  (you can also use Brushos)

• I cut some teal paper slightly smaller than my card blank and white card slightly smaller than this 
• The Pocket Watch was stamped in black onyx versafine ink, onto the white card, and masked off
• I used Peacock Feathers and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxides through the Circles and Chain Link stencils
• The cogs were then stamped in the same Distress Oxides 
• I removed the mask then stamped the TIME part of the stamp on the right hand side of the white card 

• For this sample I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card 
• The Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides were blended across the white card, spritzing with water and drying in between each layer of ink 
• The Ladies Profile and the Cogs stamps were inked up in the black onyx versafine ink and stamped onto the blended background 
• I second generation stamped the Pocket Watch in the lower left corner to get a more muted image, which sits in the background 
• The sentiment was also stamped in the black onyx versafine ink to complete  

• For this sample, I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card 
• The Pocket Watch was stamped in Versmark ink and heat embossed in with white embossing powder 
• I used Pixie powders to create the background 
• The sentiments were stamped in black onyx versafine ink, masking it off to split the sentiment into two separate stamped images

• To create this sample, I cut a panel of black card and a slightly smaller panel of white card, to fit vertically down my card blank
• The keys were stamped in Wilted Violet, Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides 
• Using the panel as a guide, I stamped the Pocket Watch so it would sit under the panel
• I adhered the white card panel onto the card blank with TEMPORARY adhesive, stamped the TIME sentiment over both the panel and the card blank and then I removed the panel
• The white panel was adhered to the black panel and the adhered to card blank,  ensuring the sentiment stamp lined up perfectly 

I really hope you've enjoyed seeing my first DT samples, showcasing the new Time products on Hochanda 

I'd love you to leave me some comments,  I do read them all.
