Sally CT - Blues

 

Hi There! We have a new challenge in the Bee Crafty Facebook Group where the theme is Blues, so here is a little inspiration for you.

I began by spraying a piece of mixed media card with 3 shades of Distress oxide sprays. 

I dried this and also smooshed another couple of pieces for future projects with the overspill onto the glass mat.

I used the star Dinkable and the embossing dabber to add embossing ink to 2 thirds of the blue background....

...before adding sparkly clear embossing powder and heat setting it.

Using another dinkable, I added prize ribbon distress oxide to the remaining 3rd of the background. 

I matted and layered this onto a 5" square white card. 

Next, I stamped the Christmas tree in brilliance ink onto a piece of frosted shrink plastic. 

I carefully cut this out trying to avoid smudging the wet ink, before shrinking and drying with a heat gun. If you haven't used shrink plastic before, it is good to have a pokey tool or tweezers to hand as it wriggles as it shrinks. 

Finally I added the tree, along with a wordy sticker sentiment to the card using 3d foam pads. This was a really fun make. 

I used:

Dinkables - I used dinkables from set 1 and set 8

Bee Crafty Doodle Art Christmas tree stamp set

Winter wordy stickers

9cm square mixed media card

Distress Oxide sprays

Embossing dabber

Clear sparkle embossing powder

Shrink plastic

Distress oxide ink - I used Prize Ribbon

Brilliance ink - I used Mediterranean Blue 

5x5" white card

3d foam pads

Thanks for looking!
