A Masterpiece Bee Tag

Hello everyone xx

Its Thursday so I'm up on the Bee Crafty blog and today's make is an MDF tag, using stamps from the Bee Script and Bee Monarchy collection.  Xx

Also used:
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Gilding Wax
White gel pen
Ticker Tape Sentiments 

To begin I applied Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide over the tag then blended Picked Raspberry randomly,  through the Honeycomb Dinkable 

I stamped one of the Honeycomb stamps randomly in Black Onyx Versafine 

Holding the Bee Script stamp in the palm of my hand, I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and stamped random parts over the tag.

I used a white gel pen to add highlights and dots. This creates some depth, light and shade to your design.

I stamped the Bee and coloured it in with Sparkks Pens then adhered that, and the Ticker Tape Sentiment  with 3d glue gel. 

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

Why, Art Journal spread

Morning everyone xx

I'm over on the Bee Crafty blog today with a spread from my Art Journal. 

I wanted to use my Doodle Art stamps, but had no specific idea in mind, so I just went for it, and this was the end result lol. That's what I love about my Art Journal, the freedom to just create...

Products used:

Doodle Art stamp sets

Big One - Inkable - Chrysanthemum 

Distress Oxides 

Ticker Tape 2 Sentiments 

Sparkle pens from my Crafty stash 

Having gessoed my pages first, I blended Distress Oxides randomly through the Chrysanthemums Big One Inkable. I wasnt careful and I applied different pressures, to create depth and dimension.

I stamped all the Doodle flowers, from all the different sets I had, randomly across the bottom of the pages. 

The Butterfly was then stamped twice, going off the edge of the page, again to add dimension and perspective. 

I used a couple of the small embellishment stamps, from some of the sets, randomly across the spread, including the splatter of dots one, around the flowers. 

I then coloured in using my sparkle pens. I wanted a watercolour effect to this spread, so I coloured in very loosely, leaving white spaces, going over the edges, and blending colours together. I love how this technique gives a completely different look to a more precise, neat colouring technique.  

The Ticker Tape sentiment was stamped on white card, cut out and adhered, to complete my spread.

I hope you liked it, it was a lot of fun to create.

Until next time,

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

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.
