Marleen DT - MDF Tag

Hey Bloggers..

Just a quick post with a bit of inspiration for BeeCrafty..

For this weeks post I've made an MDF Tag.

I've also used a selection of stamps from the BeeCrafty STORE:

I've used the following:
Lustre Luxe for the background
Backdrops Frames - Splatter Swirl Circle
WORDage sets - Ticker Tape Stamp

Art Stamp - Large Birds & Butterflies - Butterfly Trio

Backdrops Border - Flower Distressed Border
Backdrops XL - Script

Dinkable Chainlink

I started by adding the Lavender Quarts Lustre Luxe to my tag. I then added Purple Pearl Lustre Luxe through the Dinkable. I used archival ink to do all my stamping apart from my script stamp (which I just realised is very hard to see on the pic) with which I used Distress Oxide in Shaded Lilac.

And thats it really. It looks class but was really easy to make.

And that is it for today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Marleen DT - Distress Crayons and Butterflies

Hey Bloggers.

Thank you for popping by..

Todays projects is for BeeCrafty.

I had a right good play making this card. Its one of those that came together quite fast. It just kind a flowed..

For this card I used the following goodies:

Inkable template, Easy frame 4" circle

BEAUtanical - Large Branch

Winged things - Butterflies Set 2

WORDage - Friendship

 I also used Distress crayons and my Wink of Stella shimmer brush

Find everything and many more goodies in the STORE

 This card is made by laying down lots of different colours of Distress Crayons. I just smudged the colours with my fingers to get the blended look. I then took my inkable circle and and lay in the middle. I took a babywipe and ran it around inside the circle to remove some of the crayon. 

I left the card to dry and once dry I stamped my sentiment and my branches. I used black Archival ink. I also stamped my butterflies on some scrap card, coloured them with crayons and cut them out.

 To finish it was a simple black mat and gluing on my butterflies.

A very simple yet dramatic card.

  And that's all from me for today.

Marleen DT - Mixed Media

Hi Bloggers..

Time to share my weekly post for BeeCrafty.
Today I had a play with Mixed Media. Its not something I do very often, but something I would really love to get the hang off. So what better way to get the hang of something then to mix it with your favorite stamps ;-)

For today I used only a small stamp. The Butterflies..
They may be "small, but they are the perfect size to add accents to your projects.
There are 4 different sets of butterflies and you can find them all in the STORE, HERE.

I honestly couldnet really tell you how I made the mixed media piece.. Its something I have worked on from time to time until I was happy with it.
There is modgepodge on it, stones, gauge, paints, gelatoes, string and who knows what else lol

The butterflies however.. I remember how I made them lol..~I stamped them with black Archival onto a 300g white card stock. I chose the thick card so they will stay solid. I fuzzy cut them and added gelatoes to them. I added a wee bit of guilding wax over the gelato to give them extra shimmer and stuck them unto my piece with glue gel.

And that is all from me for today.

Marleen DT - Clean & Simple Butterflies

Hello Bloggers 

and thank you for popping over..

Its once again time for my weekly slot for

Bee Crafty..

For today I've made something very differet for me.. Clean and Simple..

Its a genre I've never been able to master, yet love..

This card came about as I got an order for a card, using Butterflies. Butterflies is normally something I'd use as an embellishment and not as the main on my cards. Also as it was for a big birthday the customer asked for an A5 size card, meaning more space to fill..

I have to say, it took me 5 attempts before I finally managed to make the card but the idea (that im sharing today) was made in the process. 

 

This card is simply stamping with Versamark and then heat embossing. I used 3 different butterfly stamps all from the STORE and I used 3 different colours of embossing powders.

My greeting is the "Happy Birthday/With love" set also from the Bee Crafty STORE.

It was a real struggle for me not to start adding colour to the background, to pull out stencils and pastes but the whole idea was to try the clean and simply look.

But that is all from me for today.

Many thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Marleen, Vibrant flower card.

Morning blogger friends..

Another week gone and we are back to wednesday and my spot for

Bee Crafty...

For today I've made a card using the stamps that was on Hochanda a few months ago.

I've used the "Fabulous Flowers - Corner" stamp as well as the "Butterflies set 2" stamp. My greeting is also fro Bee Crafty and is the "Happy Birthday/With Love" set.

Make sure you check out the STORE for all the other amazing stamps.

 

 I had som much fun making this card. I have to say pictures dont do the colour justice, it's far more vibrant then shown here but I couldnt get a better picture..
Background is distress ink with a stencil and clear embossing powders. I then stamped with my trusty friend Black Archival and added gold embodding powder to the egdes.
I made the flowers by stamping on to plain cardstock, colouring with the same colours I used for my background, cutting them out and adding first gold embossing powders to the edges and then a coat of clear embossing powder.
The butterfly is made the same way and my greeting also.

And that is it from me for today.

Hello again

 

Once again wednesday and time for my slot for

Bee Crafty

For today Ive used the following stamps:

•  Posy from the Fabulous Flowers range.
• Butterfly set 2 
• Live with no excuses

  You can find it in the STORE with all the other yummy goodies. 

 

I had so much fun making this card. I used distress ink for my background and for any colouring.
I then used a stencil with glitter paste to create texture on my background.
I stamped my greeting and cut it woth a die and finished with faux stitching and a coat of clear embossing powder.

My flowers are all made from repeat stamping and embossing powder of the posy before cutting them out, shaping them and layering them up.

I put it all together with some hessian, a few die cut leaves and my butterfly, alsp stamped, embossed, cut out and shaped.

And that is all from me for today.
