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

I've been playing with the gorgeous Trio of Butterflies for my weekly DT post on the
Bee Crafty blog xx


Also used:
Texture Borders stamp
Boy Girl Work stamp
Piece of bubblewrap
Watercolour inks
Gelli Plate
Clear embossing powder
Versmark
Sparkle pens

I applied ink to my Gelli plate then used a piece of Bubblewrap to add a hint of texture.

I took the print directly on to my card blank 

I stamped the Texture Borders, and Style Wire borders randomly over the printed panel.

I drew a wiggly frame around the panel. 

I stamped 3 butterflies on some white card. Coloured them in with my Sparkle pens.

I cut them out then covered them in Versmark  and applied clear embossing powder over the top. I heat set it then repeated a second coat, to create a lovely glossy effect. 

I adhered these with 3d glue gel.

I stamped the Be strong sentiment on white card, cut them up, and adhered to card to complete.

I hope you enjoyed looking through todays post and I'll be back with another next week.

Art Journal

Morning xx

I've been playing in my Art Journal for this weeks Bee Crafty blog, using the beautiful Ladies Profile as my focal image. This is such a versatile stamp which can be used with most other stamps

Also used:
Dandelion
Wilflowers
Brick wall Inkable
Trio of Butterflies 
Distress Oxides 

To begin my Art Journal page, I blended Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide through the Brickwall Inkable, in random areas, and off the edge of the page.

I stamped the Ladies Profile in Walnut Brown Oxide, and coloured her lips and eyes in with coloured pens.

The Dandelion and Wildflowers were also stamped in the Walnut Brown, and I used second and third generation stamping, to add the effect of depth.

Three butterflies were stamped, on a separate piece of card, in the Walnut Brown.  I cut them out and adhered them with 3d glue gel, to complete my page.

Thankyou for popping by and I'll be back soon

Laugh loud

Hello everyone xx

On the Bee Crafty blog today I'm sharing a card I made using the fabulous Time Measure stamp. I've combined it with the Trio of Butterflies..gorgeous xxx

Also used:
Texture, film strip and circles
Ledger Measure
Ticker Tape 2
Distress  Oxides 
Dinkables

I created the background using Distress Oxides, the Ledger Measure stamp and the Metal Alpha Dinkable. I used my Gelli Plate, but you can obtain a similar background without, by doing each layer separately.

Once dry I stamped the Time Measure, and several butterflies, in Smokey Grey Versafine.

I brushed over the butterflies with my clear sparkle pen. 

The Sentiments were stamped on a separate piece of card, cut up and adhered with 3d glue gel.

I adhered my finished design on to my card blank, to complete this week's make.

Many thanks for taking time to look at today's post...please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Don't believe everything

Morning crafters

As it's a Thursday I'm on the Bee Crafty blog. For this weeks post I'm sharing a page from my Art Journal,  using the lovely Ledger Measure stamp set. I love the freedom of playing in my journal as I just let my creativity flow and see where I end up xx

Also used:
Metal Work Inkable 
Dinkables
Distress Inks
Ticker Tape Sentiments stamp set
Random Numbers stamp set

To begin I added some white gesso to my page and dried it off. This gives me a lovely base for any mediums I wish to throw at it lol.

I inked through the Metal Work Inkable, randomly on the page, in a Distress Ink. 

I then did the same in another colour, using the Circles Dinkable. 

With the same Distress Ink, I randomly stamped some of the Random Numbers off the edge of my page, to add more depth.

The beautiful Ledger Measure was inked up with Black Onyx Versafine and stamped off the page slightly.

To finish I stamped, cut up and adhered a Ticker Tape Sentiment to the page, then drew some wiggly lines, in a black pen, to frame my page.

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

Dreams come true

Hey everyone xx

Any plans for today?
I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card I made using the utterly beautiful Swallow stamp xx

Also used:
Wildflower 1 
Inspirational Words 1 
Distress Oxides
Dinkables
Gelli Plate

I created my background using my Gelli Plate. (However you can create a similar effect, blending Distress Oxides, and stamping each layer separately  using the Circle Easy Frame Inkable).

I inked up my Gelli Plate with Distress Oxides, blending through the Honeycome Dinkable, and stamping the Wildflower randomly on the plate. 

Then I applied my plate to the front of my card blank. I printed a second generation print from it on the lower right of the card blank.

The Swallow, and Sentiment was stamped in Smokey Grey Versafine.

To complete I used my clear Sparkle pen  to add a hint of sparkle to my Swallow xx

I hope you enjoyed today's make. See you again soon.

Don't look backwards

Hi lovely crafters xx

First of all I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy New Year. I hope 2020 brings you joy, happiness, and lots of crafty goodies 🤣

Over on the Bee Crafty blog today I've a couple of ATC's I made using the beautiful tall Teasel.
I had an urge to get all my stamps out and see where the mood took me, and I ended up with these ATC'S.  Lol.

Also used:
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Script stamp
Ticker Tape stamps
Distressed Diamonds stamp
White embossing powder

To begin I used Versmark sticky ink to stamp the Distressed Diamonds, then heat embossed in white.  This acted as a resist.

I blended Distress Oxides over the ATC'S,  drying each layer before blending the next one.

I used the same colours through the Honeycomb Dinkable.

I randomly stamped parts of the script stamp, in the darkest Oxide. When stamping randomly I like to hold the stamp in my hand, I find it gives a more distressed random effect.

The beautiful Teasel was then stamped in Smokey grey Versafine 

To complete my ATC'S I stamped my Ticker Tape Sentiments, cut them out and adhered with glue gel. 

Well I hope you liked the results of my random, free thinking Crafty session lol.

Until next time.
