Jane DT - Sunflower Days

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a sunny sunflower card...

I started by blending some distress inks onto a piece of stamping card using my blending brushes.  The colours used were Broken China, Faded Jeans, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint.

Then I splashed on some droplets of water and after leaving for a few seconds blotted them off.

Using the Large Sunflower stamp from the Beautanicals range I stamped the sunflower onto the card 3 times with Sepia Versafine and then heat embossed with clear powder.  Next I coloured the flowers with my Pitt Pen markers...

After this I stamped out the flower and a couple of the leaves again and cut them out before colouring them in.  These pieces were then stuck over the top of some of the elements then a sentiment stamped directly onto the card...

To create this card I used:

* Beautanicals - Large Sunflower

* Wordage - Everyday Sentiments 1 (regular)

* Distress Inkpads

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Jane DT - 'Snowflake Blues'

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing with you a card that developed from some ink spray play...

Like most crafters there are times for me when I am not sure what I want to make and at these times I usually find that the best thing to do is something!  So when I didn't know what to do this week I decided to just grab a piece of glossy card stock and a couple of Dylusions ink sprays (bubble gum pink and calypso teal) to see what would happen.

I sprayed the inks onto the card then blotted and wiped away the excess using a piece of kitchen roll...

At first when I looked at the background I thought I would use the wildflower silhouette stamps in a dramatic black but wanted to add some texture first, so I pulled out my texture discs and chose one that appealed to me before stencilling through with white gesso...

Once I saw the effect I revised my idea and decided that this was now a wintry, snowy background and got out my Doodle Art Snowflake set.  I used some of the smaller snowflake stamps and the text (I love text stamps!!) with the Archival inkpads in distress colours...

To create some texture and add some sparkle I then used the snowflake d'inkable with silver glitter paste...

I always like to create a focal point to my projects so stamped the 2 largest snowflakes, cut them out and coloured them using Faber Castel Pitt markers.  To match the silver snowflakes I added a silver gem to the centre of the smaller one...

Finally I layered these images up and added them to the card along with a sentiment from the Everyday Christmas sentiments with a few more gems to finish the project...

To make this card I used the following products:

* Yuletide - Doodle Art Stamps Snowflake (regular)
* Yuletide - Everyday Christmas 1
* D'Inkable - Snowflakes
* Texture Discs Set 1
* Dylusions Ink Sprays
* Tim Holtz Distress Archival Inkpads

I hope you enjoyed finding out about my project and that you get time to have a play with some crafty goodies this week, happy crafting!

Karen DT- Believe in magic

Hi everyone xx

It's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card I made using the gorgeous Unicorn Magic stamp. Love this collection, what is there not to love about Unicorns 🤣

Also used:
Bubblewrap Positive stamp 
XL Doodle Art Baubles stamp
Distress Oxides 
Gelli Plate

To begin my card I grabbed my beloved Gelli Plate. Not had it long but I'm loving it lol.

(You can create similar backgrounds by creating your inked panel and then stamping/stencilling each component). 

But I love the printed one layer effect you get with the Gel Plate.  

I used Distress Oxides on my plate, spritzed with water, and stamped the bubblewrap stamp in a different colour. 

I then printed my background on to the front of my card blank

I stamped the Unicorn, sentiment and the silhouette Unicorns, in Versafine Onyx Black. I also stamped the little stars from the Doodle Art Baubles set.

Using the bleaching effect, I lifted some of the ink from the Unicorn. I then added a hint of sparkle from my clear Sparkle pen. 

To complete I drew a wiggly frame around my inked panel. 

I hope you enjoyed todays post and I'll see you again soon

Versamark clear

Embossing powder clear

Card blank 7x7

Pounce the clear Versamark ink over the Ink'able, sprinkle clear embossing powder over and heat set.

Spritz the card with water and sprinkle over some blue tone brusho. The embossing will resist the colour. 

Once dry, ink around the border with peacock feather distress oxide to frame it.

Then using the time measure stamp, add some elements to the edges for interest on the background.

Stamp out some butterflies onto the background and onto separate card as they will be fussy cut and mounted on top.

Stamp out the sentiments. 

Fussy cut the butterflies and sentiments.

Colour the butterflies in, I used twisted citron oxide and a pink sparkle pen.

Add these elements to your card, mount onto a card blank and you're done. 

Hope you like!

Lorre-Anne DT - Marvellous Day

Hi everyone for my Bee Crafty DT post this week I'm sharing a card I have made that is suitable for a male recipient... a lot of people say they struggle to make card for boys/men so I thought it would be good to show how this can be done using just a few stamps.

Materials

• white card
• Everyday Sentiments 1XL
• Backdrops XL Crackle Paint
• Steampunk Stories - Cogs set
• Texture Discs - Set 1
• Distress Oxides - Mermaid Lagoon, Evergreen Bough, Rusty Hinge, Walnut Stain
• Paper Distresser

Materials

• Cut white card slightly smaller than the card blank.
• Put some of each Oxide on to a blending mat and spritz with water and drag the white card through it.  Dry with a heat tool and repeat until you get the look you want.
• Stamp the Crackle Paint effect with Mermaid Lagoon.
• Stamp the cogs etc with all colours of Oxide.
• Blend some Walnut Stain through the Texture Disc randomly over the card.
• Distress the edges of the card and blend some Walnut Stain around the edges.  Glue to the card blank.
• Stamp a sentiment using Walnut Stain, cut out and then blend some Walnut Stain around the edges. Affix to the card with foam pads.

That's my project finished for this week, I'll be back next Monday with a new project.

Jane DT - Doodle Art Mixed Media Canvas

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a mixed media piece that I have made using a mixture of the Doodle Art stamps, but it all started with some alcohol inks...

I love playing with my alcohol inks and recently bought a pack of white tiles from my local DIY store.  After adding some of the inks to the tile along with blending solution I decided that I wanted to add resin to the top and put in some glitters and beads...

Once it had cured I loved how it looked but wasn't sure what to do with it so I decided that I would add it to a canvas and use the doodle art stamps to create a mixed media piece.

I painted the frame which was originally a pine colour and added gilding wax.  Then I added some modelling paste through one of the texture discs to the canvas.  Once dry I painted the canvas and added gilding wax to match the frame...

After stamping and cutting out the pieces that I wanted from a variety of the sets (links can be found below) I coloured them using Pitt pens by Faber Castel and coated them with glossy accents to mirror the gloss of the resin.  To also continue the theme of the tile I added some beads to the flowers...

All the elements were added to the canvas with glue gel and then two sentiments from Small Words were heat embossed with white powder onto black card for the finishing touch.

Here are the products used:

* Art Stamps - Doodle Dragonfly #1 (regular)
* Art Stamps - Doodle Sunflower #1 (regular)
* Art Stamps - Doodle Bee #1 (regular)
* Art Stamps - Doodle Bird #1 (regular)
* Wordage - Small Words
* Inkables Texture Discs - Set 2
* Alcohol Inks
* Blending Solution

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Karen DT- Doodle Art

Morning xx

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a crafty day?
I've been getting a bit festive with my Doodle Art sets, yet again, and here are a selection of cards using the delightful Robin, as the focal image.
Hope you enjoy today's weekly Bee Crafty blog post xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: all of them!! 🤣
Distress Oxides
Versafine
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli Plate

Whilst I have made my backgrounds on my Gelli Plate, you can achieve a similar effect by applying Distress Oxides to an acrylic block. Spritz with water and apply the ink direct to the card blank. Then stamp your desired images within the inked panel to create a random design

All my images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel to this style.

I coloured in some aspects of the images, either with kuretake clean colour pens or sparkle pens, but you can use whatever you have in your crafty stash 

Well there today's selection of makes. Until next time.
