Alison CT - Rainbow Bird

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using some of the newer products with some of the older products.

To begin, rip to triangular pieces of old book page to fit the corners of the notebook page. Glue them in place.

Apply a thin layer of white gesso to the page and leave to dry.

Using blending brushes, I applied squeezed lemonade and salvaged patina to the page.

Next I blended salvaged patina distress ink through the 6" inkables harlequin.

Then I blended the same ink through the lines dinkable from set 8.

Choose one of the A5 greyscale catalyst cards and remove the white edge. Then cut it into six strips length ways, ensuring each strip is a different width. Cut these into different lengths. Rough the edges using the blade of a pair of scissors. Edge with peacock feathers distress oxide and glue to the page in the design in the photo.

Blend tea dye distress ink through both of the leaf dinkables from set 14.

Choose an A5 catalyst card that will complement your background and stamp the smaller rainbow bird using versafine clair nocturne and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Cut out the bird.

Glue the bird to the page so that it sits on the larger horizontal strip of paper. Add some of the script background stamp using tea dye distress ink.

Finally add a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 3B.

Alison CT - Moonflower

Hi everyone,  I still can't put the new release away, particularly the moonflower stamp set. Today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this very sparkly art journal page in my black journal.

To begin I spritzed the page with distress spritz in picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, peacock feathers and fossilized amber. I left this to dry naturally.

Whilst the background was drying, I stamped the moonflower and some of the stars, on to black card, using an embossing ink pad and heat embossed in a mixture of gold and silver embossing powder. I then coloured the moonflower using gelly roll moonlight pens and a damp paintbrush. I then cut them out.

To add more to the background I blended squeezed lemonade distress oxide through the satellite 6"inkable.

Then I blended tumbled glass distress oxide through the text 6" inkable.

Then I glued the moonflower and stars to the page and finished the page with a sentiment from the wordy stickers sheet 2.

Sally CT- Wear your best smile!

Hi There! I am here with a step by step for this super quick and simple card today.

I began by cutting the catalyst card to fit a 6x6 card, sponging a little brown ink around the edge

Next I cut out the leaf transparency, but not too close to the image

on a scrap of card I stamped the flower from Journaling Essentials #8 twice using versafine ink. I coloured them and cut them out, creating a smaller layer. 

I layered it up and attached the transparency and the flower using matte medium.

Finally, I added a transparency sentiment to finish it off.

I used:

Journaling Essentials #8 Stamp set

Bee Crafty Catalyst Cards #2 full colour A5

Bee Crafty Transparency prints- Birds and sprigs

Bee Crafty Transparency Prints- Creative Words Black on White

Matte Medium

Black Versafine ink

Coloured pencils

No Live from me tonight as I am away from my craft table. Why not use the time to enter the Bee Crafty Challenge over in the Facebook group.

Thanks for looking!

Alison CT - Gerbera

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Bee Crafty's new Catalyst Cards, stamps and transparencies. 

To begin I trimmed the full colour catalyst card so that it fit my journal page, leaving a small border.

Next I cut out the small circles from the Gerbera transparency sheet.

Then I cut out three of the greyscale gerberas from the catalyst card.

Next I stamped and heat embossed in clear the large gerbera on the red and yellow full colour catalyst card. I cut it out and added white highlights using a white posca pen.

To finish the background I stamped three of the corner stamp from the gerbera stamp set and several of the hearts from the moonflower stamp set using versafine clair nocturne ink. 

Next I used distress collage medium to glue the greyscale gerbera to the page. I left the edges raised as I wanted to be able to tuck the transparencies under them.

I added the transparencies and glued the edges of the flowers down with the collage medium.

Finally I added the stamped gerbera and a sentiment from the transparency prints Creative Words.
