Bee Crafty Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and Lustre Luxe's

Afternoon crafters
How has your day been soo far?
I've had a fab weekend getting very inky and messy with mixed media projects..love it lol

Anyway I'd love to share a canvas I made using some new products I've just bought from Bee Crafty, which I wanted to try out
www.beecrafty.net

I used the following products:
 Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame
Lavender Quartz Lustre Luxe  

I also used Pebeo Dyna acrylic paints
Stencils

To begin I put some of my Lustre Luxe on a glass block, added some water and used as a wash over the canvas.

I did the same with the Dyna paints. 

I also used some straight from the containers, to create a thicker consistency and more intense colour 

I heat blasted it quickly, then put some more of the Lustre Luxe on my block before using it through a variety of stencils. It acts like a texture paste and creates a 3d dimension to the canvas. And the shimmer is wow!! 

I then stamped the backdrop frame in black onyx versafine ink. I also stamped elements of it randomly around the canvas

The sentiment was also stamped in the black ink and to finish I added some white gel highlights.

I hope you like my canvas and I thankyou for popping by

Mermazing and Ocean Pals stamp sets by MFT

Morning crafters

Hope everyone is feeling good today and has a crafty day planned

I'd like to showcase the really gorgeous stamp sets available from
Www.bumbleberrys.co.uk. 

I made this 8x8 canvas using the following :

Mermazing  stamp set by MFT
Ocean Pals stamp set by MFT
Mermaid Tail Background stamp by MFT

I took an 8x8 canvas and blended Cracked Pistachio,  Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress inks to create a background 

I coloured my texture paste with the DI and used a dotty stencil to create some dimension. I also randomly inked through the same stencil with the inks

I randomly stamped some texture stamps I had in smokey grey and black onyx ink to create more dimension

I then stamped all my images in smokey grey versafine ink, apart from the seaweed and plants which I stamped in green DI

I coloured in my images using various mediums, including kuretake clean colour pens, distress inks, Acrylic Paints and Dyna paints as I wanted to have a variety of textures to my canvas 

To complete I added some Frosted Lace sickles to the Mermaids tails and silver gilding wax randomly across the edges

I hope you like my canvas

True Friends stamp set by Stamps By Me

Morning crafters
Any one up to some crafting today? What are you all working on?

I'd like to share a canvas I made yesterday using the beautiful
True Friends stamp set available from
www.stampsbyme.co.uk

I used different stencils and texture paste to create some dimension to the blank canvas

I then blended Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks all over the canvas 

Using a mixture of Smokey Grey and Black Onyx Versafine ink I stamped random textures around the canvas, holding each stamp in the palm of my hand. I find this creates a more random distressed effect ideal for mixed media

Versafine black onyx ink was used to stamp the main outline image 

Acrylic and Dyna paints were painted onto the solid stamp and these were stamped over the outline image. I heat blasted the flower before repainting and stamping the solid stamp to create more depth and dimension

Gilding wax was dragged from the edges randomly to create a metallic shimmer feel

To finish I highlighted some areas with a white gel pen.

Hope you like today's make

For The Love of Stamps Blossoming Birdcage stamp set

Hi

Sharing a canvas DT sample using the gorgeous birdcage stamp set just released by For The Love of Stamps by

 www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk

I used texture paste and acrylic paints to cover the canvas before stamping the script stamp randomly all over 

The birdcage and bird were stamped onto vellum and coloured with acrylic paints, and sparkles added to accentuate the flowers, then these were attached to the canvas using 3d gel.

Flowers and leaves from the Floral Sketches stamp set ( found on Hunkydory website ) were stamped and heat embossed onto papers from the Background Paper Pads. These were glued around the birdcage

The sentiment was stamped and cut into strips, inked around the edges then glued on.

Pearls and clear gems completed the canvas.

I hope you like my work and would love you to follow my blog to see all my future makes

Hugs xx
