Sally CT - Moths and inkables journal pages

 

Hi there! I am here today with a journal spread that starts with inkables, so more inspiration for this month's challenge. 

I began by wiping a distress oxide ink pad across the bakewell inkable. I spritzed it with water then laid it onto the pages.

Next I smooshed some Rusty Hinge distress oxide over the top. 

When this was dry, I used the small butterfly easy frame innie to add some walnut stain distress oxide ink like a shadow. 

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the two middle-sized moths and coloured them using ecoline markers before cutting them out.  

I added some stamping using the same inks and the Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set. 

Finally I added the moths to the page using matte medium, along with a wordy sticker and a few white pen highlights to the moths.

I used:

Inkables: Big one Bakewell

Art Stamps: Moths stamp set

Butterfly easy frame - I used the smaller 4" one

Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set available in this bundle

Wordy Stickers

Distress oxide inks - I used Walnut Stain, Mermaid Lagoon and Rusty Hinge

Black versafine Clair ink

Ecoline markers

You have until Sunday Evening to enter the challenge so get those inkables out and have a play x

Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page using Inkables Tags and the Burds and Butterflies regular stamp set.

To begin,  blend antique linen and victorian velvet distress ink over the page.

Next, blend victorian velvet ink through the circles inkable tag from set 4. Then sprits the inky side of the tag and press it down on the page.

Blend antique linen ink through the wavy lines inkable tag from set 4.

Next, blend seedless preserve distress ink through the butterfly inkable tag from set 6.

On separate card stamp three Butterflies, of different sizes, using Versafine Clair purple delight ink. Die cut them out and then blend antique linen ink over them. This helps to blend the white edges in to the page.

Add some script to the background using the script background stamp freehand with Versafine Clair morning mist ink. 

Glue the butterflies to the page, applying glue just to the body after shaping the wings with your fingers. Use purple delight ink pad to stamp the sentiment.  Inking half of it each time.

Finally add a stitched border using a gel pens and white splats using a posca pen.

Calee DT - Inkables inspiration

Hi , this week for my step by step guide I have some inspiration for Sally’s challenge  , to use Inkables . For this journal page I have combined them with the Cone Flowers catalyst collage papers.

For my colours I chose the  Bee crafty colour palette week 20 . So my first step was to collect together some ink pads and Ecoline pens .

Next I created my background using Picked Raspberry , Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon distress inks  . These were sponged all over my page and then some ink removed with a couple of sprays of water and a few larger drops .

Then I used two Inkables and two more inks ,Mustard Seed and Rustic Wilderness to add more layers to my page .

To introduce some white back into my page I then used a third Inkable with some white texture paste creating  3 clusters of circles .

The focal images for this page were taken from the Cone Flowers catalyst collage papers A5 size. Choosing a paper with large flowers I cut them out and added some white highlights and dots with a white gel pen. At this stage I also added some white dots to my background ,drawing my design together and framing it with a white stitched border.

Taking inspiration from the colours and design of the catalyst collage paper  and using some paint pens , a few random circle were added .My finale step was to add a sentiment, for this I used the Wordy sticker 3B,giving each one a white gel pen border .

Thank you for taking a look at my page . I hope it may have given you little inspiration for using Inkables .please remember to share any makes using inkables and of course enter this month’s challenge.

 Happy crafting

Sally CT - A sparkly daisy card

 

Hi There! I have a card for you today incorporating some embossing and some faux bleaching. Here's how I made it. 

I began by blending distress inks across a 6x4" piece of satin finish card. 

I used a dinkable from set 11 to add a little more of the Mermaid Lagoon ink 

Once this was dry, I gave it a wipe with an anti-static cloth before stamping the Doodle Art Daisy in Embossing ink and heat embossing it using white embossing powder. 

I painted the daisy with water and lifted the colour using a piece of paper towel. I also gently spattered across the abandoned coral ink and lifted the colour from there too. 

using the same distress inks I stamped the border and another worker stamp around the panel.

Using some metallic watercolour paints I added some paler colours to the daisy. 

I used the same Dinkable to add ink to two corners of an A5 base card. 

I layered the inky panel on to some coordinating paper and added it to the front of the card. 

Finally here's a close up of the shimmery paint on the daisy. 

I used:

Alison CT - Tulips

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page. I have used a catalyst collage paper, texture discs and the Doodle Art Tulip stamp. You can use texture discs on your inkables project for Sally's challenge in the Bee Crafty Facebook group if you wish.

To begin, I tore a piece of the A4 Spring Paint Catalyst Collage paper to fit a page in my 8 x 8 kraft card journal and used matte medium to glue it to down. 

Next, I applied distress crackle texture paste through the lines and circles texture disc  from set 4. I left this to dry completely. 

Then I blended picked raspberry distress oxide through the chevron texture disc from set 2 and fossilised amber distress oxide through the circles texture disc from set 1.

After that, I stamped the small crosses from the Doodle Art Tulip stamp set using Morning Mist Versafine Clair. 

On separate kraft card, I stamped both the large and small tulips twice using the morning mist ink pad. I coloured them with distress watercolour pencils in pink, yellow, antique linen and green. I then cut them out.

I used pva glue to attach them to the page. Cutting some stems down as I didn't want to hide to much of the background paper.

I then added one of the Creative Words transparency prints sentiments using matte medium. 

Products used:

A4 Catalyst Collage Spring Paint 

Texture Discs set 1

Texture Discs set 2

Calee CT- Doodle Art Bee

Hello , this week I’m sharing how I created this spring bloom journal page for my step by step guide.

My first step then was to choose a catalyst collage paper from the Spring Blooms A5  pack of papers  and cut it to size for my 6 x6 inch journal .

Next I layered some ink onto my background using Dinkables from set 15 and distress inks Wilted Violet and Mowed Lawn . Then using white and pink gel pens lots of stitched details were add to most of the flowers to bring then more into the foreground .

Deciding the Doodle Art Bee would look good among the flowers and because I can’t remember the last time I used it . I stamped and coloured it using a combination of Ecoline watercolour pens and distress ink Broken China .

Then going back to my background some small areas of honeycomb were added with distress ink Crackling campfire and a stamp fromthe Doodle Art Bee ,to tie the bee into  the background .At this stage I also created a frame to my page with a double stitch boarder ,white gel pen on the catalyst collage paper and black fineliner on the  journal page .

My page was finished by gluing on the bee and adding a sentiment using the Bee Words 2 transparency  prints , mounted on white card .

I really enjoy working with the catalyst collage paper ,which are so versatile , thank you for taking a look at my page .

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Inkables Inspiration

Hi there! I am here with a simple card using stamps and inkables today. As our theme on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group is to use inkables I thought this would provide a little inspiration.  Here's how I made it. 

I began by blending rusty Hinge ink through a dinkable to create the background.

Next, I stamped the Doodle Art Cone Flower onto some watercolour paper  using Versafine Clair ink and cut it out. I coloured it using ecoline markers

Using some of the smaller stamps from the Coneflower set I added a little stamping around the edge of the card in Versafine Clair Strawberry ink.

Using the dotty stamp from the set, I added a little more to the background in Rusty Hinge Distress ink. 

I added the cone flower on 3d foam pads to the background along with a wordy sticker sentiment. I also added some white pen faux stitching. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

Dinkables set #15

Doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set

Versafine Clair ink in Nocturne and Strawberry
