Kerrie DT - FASHIONette Mary - Happy Birthday

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

Another FASHIONette make from me today, this time it's MARY I adore these pretty/girly stamps they are so much fun to colour up using any medium but Fave of course are Alcohol Markers

Products I used that are available over at Bee Crafty's shop...

FASHIONette - Mary

Inkables - Circle Easy Frame Template

Backdrop Border - Spatter Swirl

WORDage - Happy Birthday/With Love

Distress Inks - Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves

Ink Blending Tool

I used a masking technique for this project. I stamped Mary first onto super smooth cardstock using light grey ink and then again onto masking paper (large post-its could also be used). I cut round Mary on the masking paper and fixed over the stamped image on the super smooth cardstock so I could ink a circle over her but leaving her completely blank. I used Distress Ink pads and my Inkables Circle Easy Frame Template for this. 

Leaving the Mask in place I then Stamped the Splatter Swirl stamp around the sides in grey ink and then inked lightly over the edges using black ink. I also inked a few spotty areas using Seedless Preserves distress ink and a small circle pattern template.

I pulled back the Mask to reveal my still clean stamped image of Mary, who I then coloured using my Alchohol Markers. Where I had stamped her in light grey ink the lines are softer and almost disappear when using Markers over it (I love this effect) - I drew over her Eyelashes with a fine Black Drawing Pen to make them stand out.

I added some gems and a Sentiment to finish

Kerrie DT - Decision To Try...Mary

Happy Monday Everyone its my turn again to share one of my Bee Crafty makes with you

I picked another 'FASHIONettes' to create with today this time the gorgeous 'Mary' - I also used 'Decision to Try' from the 'WORDage' collection and an Inkables Template 'Circles'

I'm still working through my Offcuts Box and even added some pretty packaging into this make - I really dont like to waste the card that is in new stamps if its pretty it has to go on a card - the beige checked card and stripey pink card are both from stamps packaging - all the other pieces of card and even the mirror board are offcuts from other projects that i couldnt bear to put in the bin lol - on the beige checked piece I inked through the 'Circles' Template using 'Pumice Stone' distress ink and one of the round blending tools

I coloured 'Mary' using my fave alcohol markers matching the colours to the backgrounds I have used

I created lots of layers in the background and separated all the words from the 'Decision to Try' sentiment to scatter them across the background. I added some diecuts and a handmade (by me) Paper Rose that I added glitter to

I really like how soft the colours turned out

Kerrie DT - Fashionette 'Mary'

Hiya and welcome to my Friday Post for Bee Crafty

This week I have been back into my comfort zone of pretty & girly

I chose to colour 'Mary' she is such a pretty girl and I matched her to a pretty floral paper 

I coloured her using my fave alcohol markers in colours to compliment the theme of the paper, trimmed the image down and inked the edges using Distress Inks 'Tattered Rose' & 'Spun Sugar'

To create the foliage I stamped the larger branch from the 'Branches' set using Distress Inks 'Forest Moss' & 'Crushed Olive', I cut them out and layered them up with some paper flowers and buttons

I added lots of  layers and jaunty angles as I love them

I pinched a sticky note from my planner stash to create the tab for the sentiment which I stamped using some Wordage stamps 'With Love' and 'Hugs & Kisses'

Thank you for visiting today come back soon for more Gorgeous Projects from the Design Team
