Lorre-Anne DT - Be Yourself!

Hi everyone, for my Bee Crafty DT post this week I've been using the amazing Octopod.. I'd created this inky background a while ago and as I was flicking through my stamps I thought it would work brilliantly with the Octopod.

Materials

• White 6" square card blank
• Black & white card
• Be Yourself stamp
• Octopod 
• Dylusions sprays (Crushed Grape, Tangerine Dream, Calypso Teal)
• Distress Mica Spray (Brushed Pewter)
• Distress Crayon (Lucky Clover)
• Distress Oxides (Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn)
• Onyx Black Versafine ink
• White gel pen

What to do

• Cut black card slightly smaller than the card blank, and white card slightly smaller again.
• Create the background by spritzing each Dylusion colour over the square of white card, spritzing over these inks with water and then drying with a heat tool.
• Stamp some bubbles and seaweed over the background using Mermaid Lagoon and Mowed Lawn Oxides and then mat this to black card and attach to card blank.
• Stamp the Octopod using Versafine ink on spare white card, add some colour with the Crayon and carefully cut out.  Spritz with the Mica spray and then affix to the card with foam pads.
• Stamp the sentiment on white card using Versafine ink, chop in to 2 pieces and mat to black card.  Attach to card with foam pads.
• Add some highlights using the white gel pen.

That's it for this week, I'll be back soon with a new project to share.

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x
