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

Honey Doo Crafts Floral Crest stamp set

Good morning everyone.

Glad it's Friday today.  Looking forward to a day in the craft room working on a few samples xx

Today I'm sharing a DT sample using the gorgeous
Floral Crest stamp and die
Little Lilies and Leaves stamp set
Whatever You Want To Be stamp set

All available from
Www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk

To begin I cut a square of card slightly smaller than card blank
Then I cut an aperture frame using dies

I used low adhesive tape to hold frame in place on the square card. The Floral Crest was stamped, in black onyx versafine ink,  so it slightly overlapped the frame itself

I also stamped some of the little Lillies and leaves and cut them out

They were all coloured in using Kuretake clean colour pens but I only coloured the part of the image within the aperture 

The card was then assembled using 3d glue gel to add dimension

The sentiment was stamped in black onyx versafine ink to finish

I hope you like this sample.

Campervan Adventure stamp set

Afternoon crafters
Hope everyone is having a lovely day

Thought I'd share a couple of cards I made using the fun Campervan Adventure stamp set by For The Love of Stamps by www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk 

For this one I inked/smooshed a frame from Julie Loves set with distress inks.

Using the same colours I masked off the campervan then stamped the flowers, so they stamped within the image

I also stamped and coloured in some of the flowers and cut them out to create 3d flowers

After assembling the card I stamped the sentiment in black ink and drew a wonky line around it with a fine line pen

For my second card I used the same masking technique to stamp flowers onto the campervan, which had been stamped onto an oval die cut

The flower stamps were stamped randomly  onto some white card, slightly smaller than the card blank

A flower was stamped and cut out using a stamp from the Trio of flowers by Honey Doo Crafts 

I assembled the card adding a few decorative die cuts to embellish it
