Marleen DT - Hochanda Samples

Hello Bloggers..

Once again my turn to share some inspiration for BeeCrafty and today I want to share my samples for the recent show on Hochanda.

Did you see the show?? Arent those goodies amazing??
We are history nuts in our house and the egyptian history is on top of the list here. My son (12) sat next to me when I made my samples and told me the meaning of all the symbols.

Anyway.. you can find all the goodies over in the BeeCrafty STORE so do pop over for a good nosy..

Here are my samples:
(I must appologise for the bad photoes. I had to take the pics late in the evening and lighting was terrible)

This one is distress ink and gold embossing powder. I then took the hieroglyphics strip stamp and stamped with versamark ink and added mica powder on top. Once the mica has been buffed a bit it shows when tipped in the light.

This one is Lustre Luxe on an MDF artboard. I stamped my background with distress oxide. (please note the oxide WILL dry on the Lustre BUT can be rubbed off with a bit of effort) all the other symbols I stamped in black Archival ink which will dry and stay put.
The little strip going across the artboard, is just a card strip with added Lustre Luxe. The symbols have been stamped on shrink plastic and shrunk. I got this idea from my teamie Alisa. You may have seen she is the queen of shrink plastic. She makes amazing jewelry using it. 

This one is made as the black one above. Gold embossing, distress ink and mica powder on top of versamark ink.

This one is my favorite I think. The background is made by repeatedly stamping the strip of hieroglyphics in distress ink and then covering the whole background in clear embossing powder. I did the same with the symbol stamp as well, only I fuzzy cut it before adding the powder. I made the mat and y sentiment also using distress ink so it all match in colour.

This one is very simple. Background is stamped with distress oxide ink and then simply stamped the bigger stamps in black on top.

This one is also l;ike that first one, the black one. Simple gold embossing powder and distress ink.

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

Charlee DT - Egyptian Samples

Morning crafters. Make sure you tune into hochanda today at 12 and 4 to see Bev showcase these stunning unique Egyptian stamps.

I'm sharing my samples I made for today's shows.

This one was used with the lustre luxes through the new dinkables and some foil around the edges.

  Distress oxides on the background. Heat embossed the sphinx and coloured in with a gold gel pen.

  I heat embossed the Pharaoh and used some foil at the bottom.

I found a tee pee card tutorial on you tube to create this card. And heat embossed different images on all the sides.

  I cut some squares into equal sizes and used distress oxides to get the vibrant colours.

I went through this inkable with a gold pen and then with a white gel pen. This was all done on craft card.

I used pebeo sand paste through the inkable and then went over with some gold gilding wax.

This one I coloured ranger texture paster with my distress inks and went through both inkables with it.


That's all from me for this week. Don't forget to tune in to hochanda 12 and 4 today to get your hands on these stunning stamps and inkables and dinkables.

Until next week

Lorre-Anne DT - Distress Oxide Flower

Hi everyone, I'm back with my usual Monday Bee Crafty blog post and for this week's DT project I'm sharing a card I made using 2 colours of Distress Oxide and some black ink.  

What you need - 

• 6" x 6" white card blank
• black & white card
• BEAUtanicals large lily
• WORDage - Sunshine, Freedom & Flower
• Inkables Dinkables - regular dots
• Distress Oxides (Fossilized Amber & Spiced Marmalade)
• Onyx Black Versafine ink
• Glue

What to do -

• Cut black card slightly smaller than the card blank, and white card slightly smaller again.
• Smoosh some oxides on to a blending mat, spritz with water and drag the white square through it.  Dry with a heat tool, spritz with water and repeat until desired look is achieved.
• Take the lily stamp and spritz with water, stamp this onto the card and hold for a minute or two.  When you remove you should have a pale impression of the stamp, dry using a heat tool then restamp over this using Versafine ink.... this gives a really subtle effect to the finished image.
• Use Versafine to stamp the sentiment in the top corner.
• Blend some Spiced Marmalade through the dots randomly over the card.  Mat this on to the black, and glue to the card blank.

That's my project finished for this week, I'll be back next week to share another with you all. 
Hugs, Lorre-Anne x

Jane DT - Love is in the Air Art Journal Page

Hello!

As it is almost Valentine's Day I decided that this week on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty Blog I would share with you a heart filled art journal page...

I started by using a palette knife to apply white gesso to the page then some crackle paste in areas...

Next I applied some pink tones using watercolour pigment sticks, adding extra across the crackle paste to get a deeper colour into the crackles.  I used the same shades of acrylic paint, applying it in patches with my fingers and then added in some blue for a bit of contrast...

For my background I then added some stamping.  I used two of the texture border stamps with a blue and pink archival inkpad and the XL script stamp (one of my go to stamps!) with black archival.  For even more interest I then used the heart d'inkable with white gesso and added a few white splatters...

For my focal points I wanted some big and bold hearts, so I stamped the 3 different sizes of style wire hearts onto card with archival ink and after cutting them out added paint then some of the script stamp.  When they had been stuck to the page I coated them with glossy accents and whilst still wet added fine glitter and a chunky glitter to them...

Once these had dried over night I decided that I wanted the hearts to become balloons so drew in the strings and then stamped the Love sentiment onto a piece of card which was coloured with paint to match the page...

A last touch of extra sparkle was then added using a clear sparkle pen to areas of the page.

Here are the links to the products used...

* Backdrop Frames - Style Wire Hearts
* Backdrops - XL Script
* Backdrop Borders - Texture Borders
* Wordage - Love
* D'Inkable - Hearts

Thank you for taking the time to look, happy crafting!

Marleen DT - Lustre Luxe on glass..

Hey Blogger Friends..

Wednesday again and my turn to share a bit of inspiration for 

 BeeCrafty.

Todays project is a bit of a test really.. And im not even sure Im finished with it yet..
The project came about as I had a conversation with a fellow Bee Fan, Jan. Jan is a good friend of mine and we were sitting one evening chatting about our beloved Lustre Luxe.. Jan said she had tried Lustre Luxe on glass.. Something I hadnt tried, so lo and behold I had to try it..

I used an old coffee jar, just washed and dried. I didnt prime it first but better results may happen if it was, something i must try also lol..

As I said above, this is Lustre Luxe strait onto the jar, no priming.. Now its easy enough to apply but it dont come on as smooth as it does on paper. On glass you tend to pull the Lustre back off again when going over it.. But on Jan's suggestion, I tried using more of a tapping motion then the usual sweeping motion and I found that it worked much better. Please remember that Lustre Luxe is not a product that is meant to blend as such so to get the colours blending, it take a bit of work.

Now as you can see, I also tried the Lustre through a couple of the Dinkables and it works fab. As the lustre is a bit thicker then paste its a perfect combination.
Now I must say, drying time is of Lustre Luxe is normally extremely fast, but on the glass it takes longer. Its wasnt till the next day that I felt the Lustre I put through the dinkable was truly dry but once dry, the Lustre stays put. You can of course scrape it off, but I have handled this jar many times since "painting" it and the Lustre hasnt budged.

Anyway this has been a really fun project to play with but if you want to know more about Lustre Luxe, head over to my youtube channel where I did a beginners guide to Lustre Luxe. Find it HERE.

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

Lorre-Anne DT - Hochanda Samples

Hi everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend?  For my Bee Crafty blog post this week I'm sharing the samples I made for Sams recent Hochanda shows using the gorgeous new Texture Borders and Circles.  

Distress Oxides (Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Wild Honey)  I created my background by smooshing some Oxides mixed with water over my card, and drying with my heat tool.  I then stamped various borders and circles using Wilted Violet Oxide, and finished by adding the 3 stamped words.  I added some glitter using my Start Dust Stickles.

Simple Monochrome card made by stamping with Onyx Black Versafine ink, and layering up white and black card.

Distress Oxides (Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry).  Repeated stamping of the border in alternating colours, and I stamped the word then chopped it into 3 before matting on to black card.

Distress Oxides (Cracked Pistachio & Salty Ocean).  I stamped the circles in both colours of Oxide and added the stamped word.

Brushos (Ost.Blue & Brilliant Red)  Distress Oxides (Candied Apple & Faded Jeans) Onyx Black Versafine ink.  I sprinkled Brushos over a piece of card, spritzed with water and dried using a heat tool.  I then stamped the borders using both colours of Oxide, then stamped the words using Versafine ink.

Distress Oxides (Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans & Broken China)  I stamped the border all over the card, distressed the edges then glued to the card blank.  I then stamped 3 circles in each colour, and cut out using a die.  I stamped the word Dream on a strip of card, distressed the edges before gluing to the card blank.  I used foam pads to adhere the circles. 

Distress Oxides (Peeled Paint & Wild Honey)  Onyx Black Versafine ink.  I stamped Create using Wild Honey down the centre of the card, then blended some Peeled Paint through the Stars Dinkable , and blended some Peeled Paint around the edges of the card.  I matted this on to black card and glued to the card blank.  I stamped Art using Versafine ink, and cut out using a circle die, then blended some Peeled Paint around the edges.  These circles were attached using foam pads, and I highlighted some areas of the letters and stars using a white gel pen.

Onyx Black Versafine ink, Distress Oxides (Spiced Marmalade & Peacock Feathers).  I blended both colours through the Dots and Cracked Glass Dinkables randomly before stamping the words using Versafine ink.  I finished by stamping the borders at either edge of the card, then matted on to black card before adhering to the card blank.

MDF artboard, Lustre Luxe (Moonstone & Lavender Quartz) Onyx Black Versafine ink, Hearts Dinkable.

These new stamps are really amazing, and are going to be great not only for cards and home decor projects but also for art journalling!  

Happy Crafting!

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x
