To The Moon and Back Tag

Morning everyone xx

So it's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog today and I have an MDF door hanger to share with you using one of the gorgeous Journaling Girls, Cheer. xx

Also used:
Journaling Blocks
Art Journal Borders
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Acrylic Paint
Sparkle Pens
Alcohol Markers
White/black Gel Pen

  

To begin I painted the MDF with Acrylic Paints then stamped one of the Journal Borders top and bottom 

I coloured in the circles with sparkle pens.

I stamped some of the embellishment stamps in Distress Oxides and blended the same colour through the Hearts Dinkable.

I then used Versafine to stamp the hearts and decorative lines, from the stamp set.

To add depth I used a black and white pen to add highlights, and accents on the circles and flowers. 

I stamped the girl, in Memento, on a piece of super smooth card, coloured her with Alcohol Markers and cut her out. 

I also stamped out one of the Journaling Blocks, wrote my own message on it, and cut it out. 

I adhered both to the MDF to complete my make.

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

Go be Free Art Journal

Morning everyone xx

I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a spread from my Art Journal, using the fabulous, and quirky, Journaling Girls.

Also used:
Journaling girl- Cheer Sassy
Acrylic paint
White Posca pen
Versafine
Alcohol Markers
Travel Words

To begin I Gessoed the pages and then applied Acrylic Paints randomly over the spread. I then drew random white circles with my white Posca pen

I used a black pen and drew very loosely around the circles,  to make them pop. 

I stamped some of the small embellishment stamps from the Journaling Girls collection, around the pages, in black onyx Versafine 

The Journaling Girls were stamped on super smooth card and coloured in with my Alcohol Markers. I also stamped out the Journaling Blocks and stamped some of the Travel Words on them.

These were then cut out and adhered to the pages, to complete this weeks make.

Many thanks for taking the time to have a look. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of these fabulous girls.

Until next time

Flock of Birds Tag

Morning everyone xx

I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a tag using the gorgeous BEAUtanicals Wildflowers, and the Flock of Birds.

Also used:
Acrylic paints
Versafine
White gel pen
MDF tag 

I applied the Acrylic paints directly to my MDF tag

The Wildflowers were stamped in Black onyx Versafine and then again in a lighter Smokey Grey, to add depth and shade 

The Flock of Birds were also stamped in the Smokey Grey Versafine 

To finish I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the Wildflowers. Again this adds light and shade to your make.

I hope you liked todays post.

Have a marvellous Day

Hello crafters

How are you all?
I'm back on the Bee Crafty blog today with another make using the fabulous
Light Tomorrow  stamp set. I do love the versatility this stamp offers xx

Products used :
Light Tomorrow stamp set
Trio of Butterflies
Everyday Sentiments
White ink
Transfer foil
Gold Acrylic Paint
White gel pen

I stamped the Light Bulb in white ink then masked it off

The Butterflies were also stamped in white ink, ensuring parts of the stamped image was over the masked Light Bulb. This gives the effect of flying behind the Bulb

I used a white gel pen to add a butterfly trail

Gold Acrylic Paint was used to colour in the bulb working from light in the centre, getting darker towards the outer edges 

This was matted onto gold mirri then adhered to card blank to complete

Thankyou for popping by and I'll be back again soon

Do something today...

Hi crafters xx

 I'm on my blog with a quick post to show you my latest Art Journal spread 😂
I love the freedom to chuck anything at it..and see where it leads you. I very rarely plan what I'm going to create lol
My first New Years challenge was to start an Art Journal.  The second was to try my hand at watercolouring/painting. For this spread I painted my own Daisies. .. I know they're not great but it's a start lol

I used Acrylic paints for this spread. 

I also used texture paste through some stencils by Bee Crafty (and other ones I had in my stash). The sentiment was also by Bee Crafty.

I sketched the Daisies first then pined them with acrylics 

Thanks for taking a look

Prehistoric Dinosaur journal

Hello lovely crafters

I thought I'd share my MDF mini journal over on the Bee Crafty blog today. I used the fabulous Prehistoric Dinosaur collection recently launched on Hochanda

Products used:
Triceratops stamp set- XL and Regular
Tyrannosaurus Rex stamp set
MDF mini journal 
Dinkables
Texture paste
Gilding wax
Acrylic paint

To begin I used texture paste through the Leafy Branch Dinkable, using the stamps as a guide as to where I wanted the leaves to be.

Once dry I painted all the pages in various coloured Acrylic paints. I like to apply the paint with my fingers, blending colours together.

Once dried I applied Gilding wax over the texture paste.

Having prepped all my pages I began stamping and colouring in my images using inks  sparkle pens or embossing powders.

I also used Dinkables, with Distress Oxides,  to add more dimension to some pages.

 I stamped the Sentiments and attached the pages by the rings supplied. 

I then adhered the metal embellishment to the front page, using gel glue. I also tied some ribbons on the rings, and attached another metal embellishment to the ribbon.

To finish I painted over the wooden word embellishment and adhered with the glue gel.

I hope you enjoyed today's post

Hi everyone xx

I'm back on the Bee Crafty blog today with a page from my Art Journal using the fabulous Collage ART stamp, Light Up 

Also used:
XL Creativity words 
Dinkables
Bubble wrap positive stamp 
Embossing powder

To create this page it's all about layers. Adding different mediums, stamps and stencils on top of each other, to create depth and dimension.

To begin I applied Acrylic Paints to the black Art Journal page. 

I dried these off then added some random areas of white Acrylic Paint to break the page up.

I blended Distress Oxides through the Brick wall Dinkable and stamped the Bubble wrap positive stamp,  randomly over the page.

Once completely dry I stamped the Collage ART stamp in Versmark then applied white embossing powder 

To complete I stamped, cut out and adhered the XL creativity words and drew a frame around the edges with a black sharpie 

I hope you like today's make. I'll be back again soon

Hello everyone xx

A quick post today with a page from my Art Journal.
I'm trying to draw/paint flowers so here's my attempt...hope you like it xx

I used acrylic paints to create my background  and to add some depth I blended Distress Oxides through a stencil by StampsBy Me.  I outlined it with a fine black pen.

The sentiment is also by Stamps By Me 

Hope you liked today's attempt lol
