Jane DT - Butterfly & Floral Journal Cover

Hello!

This week on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a project created using some of the stamps from both of my collections to decorate a journal cover...

I started by die cutting a journal cover which I then painted with a light coat of crackle paint.  Once that was dry I added different shades of blue gelatos, blending them with water...

Next I used the circles dinkable with white gesso to add extra interest to the cover...

Taking the sentiment from the 'Just Bloom' set I added the text along either side using blue archival ink...

For even more background pattern I took the larger circles from the 'Geometric Walls' set and stamped it with the same blue archival ink.  Then I coloured some of the circles using permanent markers...

Next I created some embellishments for the front cover.  I altered some jigsaw puzzle pieces, I made a video of how I did this which you can watch here...

I also stamped and cut out the 'Butterfly Beginnings' stamp before colouring and adding glossy accents and glitter on top...

Finally I stamped out the sentiment and created a charm to hang from the journal by stamping the 'Just Bloom' flower onto shrink plastic and colouring it before adding beads...

These elements were then all added together to create the final journal...

Here are links to the products used:

* Art Stamps by Jane Royston - Just Bloom

* Art Stamps by Jane Royston - Geometric Walls

* Art Stamps by Jane Royston - Flowers & Leaves 1

* Art Stamps by Jane Royston - Butterfly Beginnings

* Dinkables - Circles

Jane DT - Doodle Bird Memory Dex Card

Hello!

Today on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a Memory Dex card that I have made using some of the stencils and masks with gloss sprays along with some of the doodle art stamps...

I started on a card that I had die cut from mixed media card stock and placed the circle mask from the easy frame into the middle and sprayed with marine gloss spray...

Next I used the leafy branch d'inkable with olive spray...

After that I sprayed the whole card with fuchsia gloss spray and blotted over with kitchen towel as the spray layers resist each other...

To add extra detail I used a white posca pen to doodle around the elements and create some splatters.  I also decided to go over my leaf image with a green alcohol marker to enhance the colour...

For extra interest in the background I stamped a couple of the smaller elements from the Doodle Art Bird set using black archival ink then coloured them with permanent markers...

As focal elements I stamped out the Doodle Art Bird along with three of the flowers from the same set, leaves from the Doodle Art Dragonfly set and part of a sentiment from Ticker Tape 1.  I coloured the images using alcohol markers...

To finish I adhered all of the parts using glue gel...

Here are links to the products used:

* Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays (Marine, Olive & Fuchsia)

* Inkables Easy Frame - 4" Circle

* D'Inkables - Leafy Branch

* Doodle Art Stamps - Bird (regular)

Karen DT - Let your Dreams Blossom

Morning xx

So, as it's Thursday, I'm on the Bee Crafty blog today, but, this will be my final Bee Crafty DT blog 😥
I have had an amazing journey with Bev and Sam, and I will continue to support and promote their fabulous family  business. Please do support them to, even more so in this current crisis  xx

Anyway, back to today's blog, here is my Art Journal, using those gorgeous Journaling Girls again xx

Also used:
Journaling Girl - Elegant
Journaling Blocks
Big One Inkable - Andalucian
Dylusions Ink Spray - Crushed Grape
Just Bloom stamp set
Dreams Blossom stamp set
Geometric Walls stamp set

To begin I used the Crushed  Grape Dylusions spray randomly through the Andalucian Inkable

Using the small embellishment stamps from the Just Bloom stamp set, I inked them in Black Onyx Versafine and stamped them randomly around the pages. 

I did the same with one of the smaller stamps from the Geometric Walls set.

The Girl, a Journaling block and some flowers, from the Just Bloom set, were stamped on card and coloured in with my Alcohol Markers.  I cut them all out then stamped a sentiment from the Just Bloom set, on the Journaling block, before adhering them all on the right hand page of my Journal.

I stamped another sentiment, from the Dreams Blossom stamp set, cut it out and adhered it to the left hand page, to finish. 

I had great fun creating this spread and I hope you enjoyed looking through todays post.

Many thanks for everyone who has followed my Bee Crafty blogs
