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:

Dinkables - I used set 11

Distress inks - I used Abandoned Coral and Mermaid Lagoon

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

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

Rusty Hinge Distress ink

Wordy Stickers 3B

White pen

Ecoline pens

3d foam pads

6x6 card

Alison CT - I See You

Hi everyone today I'm sharing some inspiration for Sally's challenge in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group. This month's theme is inkables,  any of the inkables, so for this art journal page I have used Inkables Big Ones.

To begin, I blended a mix of Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserve distress ink through the Abstract Big One covering the whole of a piece of 7 x 10 inches piece of card.

I then added some Festive Berries distress ink to the centre of the page using the Bakewell Big One.

Next I used Versafine Clair nocturne ink to stamp the two parts of the I See You stamp set just below the centre of the page.

I then used the border stamp from the Doodle Art Dancing Daisy stamp set, with Versafine Clair nocturne, to create a border around the edge of the page.

On separate card, I stamped the two sizes of the flowers and leaves from the Doodle Art Dandedaisy stamp set and the anemic writing circle from the Doodle Art Dancing Daisy stamp set several times. I coloured them using the distress inks and cut them out.

Next, I glued the piece to a piece of black card.

I added the flowers, leaves and circles to the page.

Finally,  I stamped the three sentiments, from the Creativity Words stamp set, directly on to the page using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 

Products used:

Abstract Inkables Big One

Bakewell Inkables Big One 

Faces: I See You stamp set 

Doodle Art Dandedaisy stamp set

Calee CT -Imagine something wonderful

Hi everyone , this week I have been playing in my journal and my garden . This page was inspired by various plants in the garden and the promise of those to come .Here’s my step by step guide .

First I chose one of the A5 Spring Paint catalyst collage papers to use in my journal of a similar size .

This was then trimmed to size ,leaving a border all around , creating a frame 

Next I added some stencilling using Dinkables from set 2 and Distress oxide inks Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry .I chose these as they reflected the colours in the collage paper. Next I added some white texture paste to give my page some more dimension .

Leaving my background to dry, I stamped out the Doodle Art Cone flower and coloured with my Ecoline watercolour pens.

Returning to my background and using some of the small stamps from the Cone Flower stamp set I added some stamping with Villainous Potion distress ink  and some heart  and lines with a sharpie pen, through this Dinkable from set 14 . A stitched border was added to my frame using a black fine liner pen , this completed my background.

My final step was to add my cone flower and one of these little birds from the Doodle Art Rainbow Birds,which I had leftover from my previous project. This sentiment from the small words stamp set seemed perfect as hopefully my garden will look wonderful in a few months time.

Thank you for taking a look this week. I hope you found my step-by-step helpful.

Happy Crafting
