Jane DT - 'Winter Flowers' Journal Page

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing how I developed the layers of an art journal page...

I wanted to create a really layered page but without any extra dimension to make my journal too bulky.  I started by creating the colour using distress oxide ink pads (Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers).  For part of this I smooshed the ink directly onto the page and then spritzed with water, to also add a more speckled and splattered effect I put some ink onto acetate, added water and then pressed this more accurately to the page...

Where the colours mixed it also created a lovely purple tone, so pink, blue and purple became the theme of the page. However I was also finding this a bit too bright so used my brayer with white gesso to lighten the page...

At this point I decided that these colours would make a good winter background so decided to go along with the idea.  My next layer was to use some stencils with the same distress oxides - Snowflake 1 Inkable and the Snowflakes D'inkable...

Next I wanted to use some stamps and chose the Yuletide Doodle Art Snowflake set.  To create a crisper image I used archival ink pads that matched the colour scheme.  Once I had stamped I coloured the larger stamps using Pitt Pens...

Again I felt that the page was getting a bit too bright so I used white gesso once more but this time through the Circles D'inkable...

I still hadn't decided what my focal images were going to be, but when I looked at how busy the background had become I felt that silhouette stamps would be good to act as a contrast and stand out well against it.  I used some of the Beautanicals sets with black archival ink then added some glitter glue as frost on the flowers...

Finally I chose a sentiment that I stamped directly onto the page...

Here are the products that I used:

* Beautanicals - Wildflower 2
* Beautanicals - Teasels
* Yuletide Doodle Art - Snowflake
* Wordage - Unloved Flower
* Inkable - Snowflake 1
* D'Inkables - Snowflakes
* D'inkables - Circles
* Distress Oxide Ink Pads

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Hello lovely crafters

Been playing around with ATC's for my weekly DT blog for Bee Crafty, using the beautiful
Style Wire Hearts as the focal point. I've not done many ATC's before but thought I'd have a bit of fun xx

Also used:
Distress Oxides 
Ticker Tape 2
Dinkables
Retro Dots and Dash
Black pen

To begin I cut my ATC's from white card, 2.5"x3.5"

I applied some Distress Oxides to my glass mat, spritzed with water, then smooshed my card around. I did this several times, drying in between each layer 

I stamped the hearts and dots and dash stamps randomly on/off the edge of the ATC's. 

Using a fine line pen, I drew some doodles within the heart frames.

Using the same Distress Oxides I blended randomly through the Distressed Harlequin and Brick Wall Dinkables.

I drew a wiggly frame around my ATC'S. 

To complete I stamped, cut out and adhered my Ticker Tape sentiments.

I had a lot of fun making these and I hope to be back with some more.

Jane DT - Layered Sunflower Tag

Hello!

This week on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a tag that I have made.  At the moment I am really loving creating lots of layers, often with different materials and textures, but for this project I thought I would create those layers using lots of stamping...

I started by using one of the Dylusions mixed media tags (number 10) and with my brayer added layers of distress inks (Crushed Olive, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo)...

Next I used the same 3 colours of distress ink to add random background stamping - Multi Mini Distressed Diamonds, Texture Circles and Texture Borders...

Using the Ledger Measure stamps, I added some Versamark and then gold embossing powder.  When I first stamped the larger of the stamps along the right hand side it felt a bit too overpowering so I brushed away some of the powder to create a more faded and distressed look, then stamped the other parts more fully...

I am so used to adding stenciling to my projects that I really felt I wanted to use some,  I chose the Circle Lattice d'inkable and applied Vintage Photo distress ink through it with a stencil brush...

At this point I was starting to think about my focal points and after deciding where they would be used a few of the Stitch Borders with sepia Versafine to create a more defined area...

To create more dimension but also echo the linear look, I stamped out the tape measure from the Stitch Border set and coloured them with some distress ink before adhering to the tag...

I wanted one more focal image to contrast with the background and create even more dimension so I chose the Beautanicals Large Sunflower, which I cut out and coloured with the same colour distress inks...

The final touch was one of the Small Words stamps which I stamped onto brown card and embossed with gold powder...

Here are the products used:

* Beautanicals - Large Sunflower

* Art Stamps - Ledger Measure

* Art Stamps - Stitch Borders

* Background,Textures and Borders Stamps - Multi Mini Distressed Diamonds

* Background,Textures and Borders Stamps - Texture Circles

* Background,Textures and Borders Stamps - Texture Borders

* Wordage - Small Words

* D'Inkables - Circle Lattice

* Distress Inkpads

* Dylusions Tags Number 10

I am really loving mixing up my stamp sets to create layers!  If you have made any projects using Bee Crafty products we would love to see them in the Bee Crafty group on Face Book, so please do pop over for a look.

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
