Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty Bidford: Ali CT

Playing with some new stash from Bee Crafty - Metalwork Alpha Inkable and the Doodle Art Mushrooms. Really happy with how it turned out 💗💙💛.

I cut a 5 1/2" square piece of 300gsm white card. Laid this on top of an A4 sheet to catch the excess ink.

Inked up the reverse of the Metalwork Alpha Inkable with Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Mermaid Lagoon distress oxide ink.

Picked up the stencil and spritzed it a few times away from the glass mat. Placed it inky side down over the 5 1/2" square, covered it with a piece of kitchen paper and pressed over the back of the stencil.

Lifted off the stencil and dabbed off the excess ink from the card.

Lots of ink still left on the stencil so spritzed it with water again and pressed it onto an A4 sheet. Repeated until the stencil was pretty clean and got this sheet for another project.

Dried the coloured panel with a heat tool. Really liked this background as it is but that wouldn't be much of a tutorial lol.

Next, stamping with Bee Crafty Doodle Art Mushroom set. Stamped the leafy border around the edge of the panel in black versafine clair.

Then stamped the chain border 3 times in different heights at the top left and bottom right.

Stamped the 2 small leaves around the top right and bottom left sections.

Time for the Bee Crafty Coffee Stains - stamped these diagonally across the card in black.
Added a few numbers using Sam's all-time favourite stamp.

Wiped a piece of black card with an anti static pad, stamped the mushrooms twice using white pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Fussy cut the mushrooms with scissors leaving a small border around the edges. Removed the tallest mushroom from one set. Fixed these to the coloured panel with pva glue, and trimmed the card.

Edged around the panel with black ink, glued it to a black card matt with a 1/4" border and on to a white 7" square card blank. Finally added a couple of the fab Autumn wordy stickers.
