Sally DT - Be Free Journal pages

 

 Hi there! 

I thought I would share a journal spread I did recently with you. For these pages I used:

Inkable Big ones Bakewell

Beautanicals Wildflower 2 and wildflower 3

Travel words1 stamps

multi mini distress diamonds stamp

 texture borders set

Butterflies from the regular birds and butterflies set (one of mine was from the XL set too, but there are plenty to choose from including some in the end of line section here) 

Dies for the regular birds and butterflies (XL ones are here too)

Crackling Campfire and Rustic Wilderness Distress oxide inks

Versafine clair ink in Shady Lane and Nocturne

Ranger Matte Collage medium

It was all done in my Dylusions Mini Journal 

I found a page I had started by misting an inkable with water and popping it into my journal. The colours I had used were crackling campfire and rustic wilderness, so I decided to carry on with the same colours and the same inkable.

I added more of the colours with a blending tool and then added more through the stencil, mostly around the edges of the pages. 

Next I stamped the distressed diamonds in gaps around the edge and splattered with water and a few drops of gold mica spray.

I stamped the wildflowers bottom left with the shady lane ink

I stamped the words in the same shades of Distress oxides.

I then added the dots in black versafine clair ink around the edges of the pages before moving aside.

I stamped my three butterflies onto some cartridge paper using the versafine clair

I painted them with my Inktense blocks, or I could have used ecolines, and cut them out using the dies before sticking them in place using collage medium. Here it is again.

This has to be my favourite colour combination at the moment! Hope you like it! I may well add a few little extras but I am happy with it for now. 

Before I go here is a sneaky peek to remind you to tune in to Hochanda at 1pm tomorrow for the most beautiful brand new stamps, dies and MDF. I love them so much! Thanks for looking!

Jane DT - 'Joy & Happiness' Doodle House

 Hello!

I am back this week with a card where I have used some of the Dina Wakley heavy body acrylics with my gelli plate to create a background for my project...

1) I started by using the turquoise, magenta & fuchsia paints blended onto my gelli plate with a brayer.  Then I picked up a print onto smooth white cardstock...

2) Next I used the lime paint on the plate and lifted some onto my background through the Fernando big inkable...

3) Once the paint was dry I used the largest nibbed white gelly roll pen in the 3 pen set to add outlining and doodles to the background...

4) To create my focal points for the card I used the regular Bird House stamps and dies from the Doodle Art houses set...

5) Then I coloured the images using the ecoline brush pens and added highlights with the white gelly roll pen again...

6) Finally the pieces were all layered up and added to the card and a sentiment added from Everyday Sentiments 1...

Here are links to the products used:

* Dina Wakley Heavy Body Paints

* Inkables Big One - Fernando

* White Gelly Roll Pens

* Doodle Art Houses - Stamps & Dies

* Ecoline Brush Pens

* Everyday Sentiments 1 Stamp Set

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Bee Colourful by DT Ann

Bee Colouriful

By DT Ann

This week has been hectic, prepping samples!!! I decided to create a card with some white space .. this gives the eye a rest from a busy background. I love these colours together toooo! 

I used:

Distress Oxide Inks: Pink Flamingo/Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn/Candid Apple

Versafine Clair Ink: Tulip Red

Stamps: Bee Monarchy /Scripted Bee/Typewriter Alpha

Dies: Bee Monarchy 

Inkable: Honeycombe Multi 

Slims Acrylic Block

7”x 7” card blank

https://www.beecrafty.net/

Cut a piece of white card 6 1/2” x 6 1/2” (16cm x 16cm). Use the Scripted Bee stamp as a background by placing onto a Slim acrylic block.  Ink up the stamp using Twisted Citron, avoiding (or wipe the ink off ) the bee & stitching, to give less of an edge

Wipe your stamp, as you don’t want to contaminate the next colour & repeat this with Pink Flamingo, overlapping slightly... 

Remove the stamp from the block & freehand stamp different elements from the stamp to create your background using Pink Flamingo & Twisted Citron... 

There are some numbers in the background & to repeat them I used a few numbers from the Typewriter Stamp set onto a block & stamp using Mowed Lawn & Candid Apple... 

Add some more depth in your background by using Mowed Lawn, try using rule of three... 

Add a few crowns, to add depth I used Versafine Clair Tulip Red... 

Then use the Honeycombed Inkable & Mowed Lawn... 

On a separate piece of paper stamp the largest bee from the Bee Monarchy in Tulip Red Versafine Clair ink,cover in clear embossing powder, shake off the excess & heat until melted. When cool cover in Pink Flamingo ink with a blending tool, go over the edges... 

Die cut the bee & add to your card using foam pads or 3D glue... Stamp the word Bee in the red, die cut & add to your card... mat & layer on to your card ( I used a bright pink piece of thin card)... 

That’s it .. all done!! 

 

Thank you for stopping by.... Ann xxx

Caz DT - Pink & Grey butterfly card (clean & simple)

This a rare for me... 

There is actually white space!!! EEK

Here is a step by step to create this CAS butterfly card...

PRODUCTS USED:

Easy frames butterfly

Distress oxide kitsch flamingo

And picked raspberry

Metal alpha dink'able

Wordage stamps small words

Crackle paint stamp

HOW TO MAKE:

Using an easy frame (any design you like) I picked the butterfly - ink up in Kitsch flamingo...

Keep the frame in place to do the next step...

Place the metal alpha dink'able over the wings and ink with a darker pink, I used picked raspberry. Again you could use any pattern stencil you like...

Remove the frame to reveal this design...

Now place the mask/inner part over the top and stamp the crackle paint stamp over the bottom part of the card in shadow grey archival ink...

Take the small words stamps and stamp one inside the butterfly and another onto a separate piece of card. Cut it out and glue in place...

To finish add some kitsch flamingo splatters by mixing a bit of ink from your pad with water and then tap the brush over the top off the card...

Add some colour coordinating sequins or gems to complete the design. 

Simple but sweet! 

Hope you like

Sally DT - Lots of circles

 Hi there! I am in the middle of lots of DT stuff at the moment, so a clean and simple card seemed like a good idea. Here is my very quick and simple step by step for my card. There are lots of circles on it, so it would also fit the theme for the monthly challenge in the Bee Crafty facebook group. Come and join us if you haven't already! 

What I used:

XL Doodle Art Ladybird stamp set

Wordage Regular everyday sentiments 2 stamp set

6" circle easy frame inkable

Distress Oxide inks in Speckled Egg, Peacock Feathers and Walnut Stain

Versafine Clair ink in fallen leaves

13 cm square card blank

Here is what I did:

 First I used a blending brush to ink inside the circle inkable with Speckled egg ink. 

Next I removed the inkable and stamped the cluster of circles (Ladybird set) around the edge of the inked circle using Peacock Feathers and Walnut Stain oxide inks. This left a small gap. 

I set this aside and stamped the flower and leaf from the Ladybird set onto some watercolour card. 

I coloured them using coordinating ecoline pens and cut them out.

I added them to the gap in the circle frame with glue.

Finally I stamped the sentiment in the versafine clair ink in the centre. 

I hope you like it and it has provided a little inspiration.

Do keep a lookout for sneaky peeks coming up very soon for the brand new goodies that Bev is taking to Hochanda  on 23rd March

Thanks for looking!
