Petunia MDF Tag

Morning 😁

Its Thursday which means I'm over on the
Bee Crafty blog today.
I decided to make an MDF tag and use the gorgeous Pointilism Petunia stamp, which I havnt played with in a while. Xx

Also used:
Crackle Paint stamp
Distress Oxides
Honeycomb Dinkable
Gilding Wax

To begin I blended 3 Distress Oxides directly on to the MDF tag. They cover beautifully without the need to Gesso first.

I randomly applied one of the Distress Oxides through the Honeycomb Dinkable, to add subtle texture.

Holding the Crackle Paint stamp in the palm of my hand, I randomly stamped over small areas of the tag. I find holding it in my hand gives a more distressed and subtle look.

I added a hint of gold Gilding Wax around the edge of the tag.

Once the tag was dry I stamped the gorgeous Petunia in Black Onyx Versafine.

A satin ribbon completed my tag 

I hope you enjoyed todays make and I'll be back again soon

Decision to try...

Good morning crafters xx

I'm back on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card using the fabulous Light Tomorrow ,  combined with the beautiful Feather Wings. What a fab combination...

Products used :
Light Tomorrow stamp set
Feather Wings
Cogs stamp set
Decision to try stamp set
Inks
Shaving foam
Silver Gilding Wax
Black onyx versafine
White and black pens

To begin I made a background using inks and shaving foam! I love this technique as every one comes out different.  And they smell yummy to 😂 

I set this to one side until dry

On a seperate piece of card I stamped the Light Bulb in Smokey Grey versafine then coloured it in with a clear Sparkle Pen..just to add a hint of shimmer 

I applied silver Gilding Wax to the top of the bulb, then once dry I cut it out

On the dry foam background I randomly stamped around the edges with the texture stamp and, using the cut out Bulb as a guide, I stamped the Feather Wings, and various cogs, so they came out from behind it

The sentiment was stamped in the Versafine and then I adhered the cut out Bulb in place

This was adhered to card blank then I used a black pen to frame it

I love the combination of these stamp sets..gives a funky and steam punk look to your makes

I'll be back again soon
