Calee CT -Samples for the new Doodle Art spring flowers

   

Hi , hopefully you will have seen the beautiful new stamps and catalyst collage papers released on Tuesday. For my blog this week I am here to share  some of my samples with you .

For this card I have teamed the small Doodle Art Tulips with a catalyst card from the #3 pack and added a little stencilling and some stamping with the smaller stamps from the Doodle Art Lillus .

For this card I stamp directly on to a piece of Kraft card using the Doodle Art Daisy stamp ,  adding the border at the top and bottom . These were stamped in brown ink to give  a softer feel and coloured using  polychromos  pencils . A little extra stamping with the daisy word stamp and smaller stamps from this set was added to the background.

For this art journal page I created a background with a selection of distress ink and the Bakewell big one Inkable. The Doodle Art Daffodil , Tulip and Lillius were then added along with the sentiments from each stamp set 

 Next is a small and simple journal page (6x6) using the small Lillius stamp on a background of catalyst card from pack #3.

This card I must confess is my favourite sample , the background was created by smooshing a selection of yellow and orange distress inks . I then used the sunbeams word stamp from the Daffodil set to add a text type border to one side  .The large daffodil stamp was then coloured in the same inks and added .

 For this  card the large Lillius stamp was stamped multiple times in a circular pattern to create a wreath effect and the areas round the flowers was then in filled using the small worker stamps from each set and a selection of  green distress inks  . After adding two of the sentiments from this collection another Lillus was also added to fill the centre space .

Most of my stamps were coloured using Ecoline water colour pens   , except for the Daisy on the Kraft  card , which was coloured with pencils .

This is another stunning collection of stamps from Bee Crafty, which I feel very lucky to have been able to  using to create these samples .

There are lots more gorgeous samples on the Bee Crafty face book page and as usual great inspiration from the team at Bee Crafty , so please take a look .

Happy Crafting

Sally CT - Doodle Art Spring New Stamps!

  

Hi there! I am here with some samples for the new stamps from Bee Crafty that were released yesterday. First of all I have a Daffodil tea light lantern (using a fake tealight), stamped and embossed onto vellum. 

Here's a simple single layer card using the smaller tulip stamp and that beautiful border. 

This set of journal pages featured all of the new stamps in the larger size along with lots of the smaller worker stamps. the background is blended Distress Oxide inks.

This card was created using the Daffodil set over a Distress ink blended background

This is another single layer card made using the daisy stamp set over a distress ink blended background.

For this journal page, I smooshed a background and added some stamping and stencilling using tag inkables and Journaling essentials #9. I then stamped, coloured and cut out each of the flowers and added them to the page along with the sentiment. 

Here's a simple candle, stamped onto tissue, coloured and melted into the surface of the candle. 

I went for a Vintage look with the Lilius stamp and used the same flower from the Sketchy flowers set either side of the sentiment. 

Finally here is the card I made during the Facebook Live that was part of the launch yesterday. 

You can find all 4 of the new Doodle Art stamp sets, along with some gorgeous new Catalyst Collage papers following this link. There are some great bundle deals too!

Alison CT - Doodle Art ATCs.

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a set of ATCs as inspiration for Sally's challenge in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group.  Her challenge is to use any of the Doodle Art stamp sets on a project. So I have used three of the flowers on mine.

Begin by cutting three pieces of card that are just under 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Add Grave distress texture paste through the dots and line inkable texture disc from set 4 and leave to dry.

Smoosh pumice stone distress ink on to a blending mat and spritz with water. Dip each ATC in to this ink.

Repeat using hickory smoke distress ink. Leave to dry then blend black soot distress ink around the edges.

Stamp the large flower heads only from the three stamp sets. Colour with Ecoline watercolour pens and a wet paintbrush. Add white pencil to the middle part of each petal when the paint is dry. Cut out.

Glue the background piece to pieces of 3.5 by 2.5 inch black card.

Add a faux stitched border to each ATC using a white posca pen. 

Glue each flower heads round an ATC.

Add a Wordy Sticker sentiment to each ATC and add a black faux stitched border to each.

Calee CT - Beautiful

Hi , this week I have a journal page  for my step by step guide using one of the stunning portraits from the catalyst collage papers Rainbow Thoughts . 

My first step was to choose my paper and tear roughly around the image . 

This was then glued on to my page slightly off centre and after covering the main image (to protect it )I used two Distress spritz sprays  randomly to colour my background. I used Worn lipstick and Fossilised Amber . 

Next I took two D’inkables from set 11 and using the same colour Distress inks as my sprays,  I added some areas of stenciling 

After using Blue Print sketch distress inks around the edges of my page , I used some of the stamps from Journaling Essentials #9 and the same ink colours to add more interest to my page . 

Next taking my Posca pens I gave my page a white stitched border and doodled some pink hearts . At this stage I also added some white highs to the girls hair and face . 

Next I stamped out the large and small Doodle Art Cone Flower , colouring them with similar coloured Ecoline water colour pens 

My page was finished by adding the flowers and a sentiment from the A5 Beautiful and Brave transparencies. 

Thank you for taking a look this week as usual I will leave a list of the products I used below . 

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Be the Rainbow!

 

Hi There! I'm here with a Journal page using this week's bee Crafty Palette and one of the stamps that's in the Flash Sale (Bev and Sam are making room for new stamps!!!) Here's how the page came together. 
 

I began by blending distress oxide inks across the pages. 

Next I sprayed the Bakewell inkable big one with water and laid it onto the inky pages. Once this had had about 30 seconds to react I blotted the pages. 

on a piece of book page I stamped Sky Terrace, then used the same oxide inks to colour it using a paint brush. 

Once this was dry I added it to the pages with Matte Medium. 

I used black Versafine Clair to add some stamping with Journaling Essentials #9 around the edges of the pages.

In the centre of the pages I added a sentiment from the Creative Words Transparency Print to finish it off.

Here are the finished pages again.

I used:

Bee Crafty Doodle Art Sky Terrace

Bee Crafty Journaling Essentials #9 Stamp set

Alison CT - Painted Gaze Canvas

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a canvas that I created using one of the Painted Gaze Catalyst Collage papers.

I began by carefully tearing out the image from the catalyst collage paper. I then used matte medium to glue it to the canvas. I painted around it with Dina Wakley Media Mustard acrylic paint. I painted over the edges of the paper to help blend it in. I also painted the sides of the canvas.

I added texture paste through the text part of the coffee stains script inkable. 

I sponged raspberry Dina Wakley Media acrylic paint through the perspective circles inkable.

I stamped three of the pointy leaf from Journaling Essentials 2 using Versafine Clair warm breeze directly on to the canvas. On separate card I stamped the Peony Print stamp. I cut out just the flowers and painted them with watered down raspberry acrylic paint. I glued them to the bottom left corner of the canvas.

Calee CT - Bloom and Grow

Hi , my step by step this week is a journal page using the week 8 crafty palette colours .

My first step then was to collect some Distress inks ,and Ecoline water colour pens in the colours I needed . I also chose a catalyst collage paper from pack #2 in grey scale. 

Cutting the collage paper to size ,leaving a border I glued it in to my journal .

Next I started to create my background using Distress inks Mermaid Lagoon ,Dusty Concord and Cracked Pistachio and Inkables from set 15 , some stencilling was added . Using some of the Candied Apple ink as a water colour I filled in the hearts . Then using Dusty Concord I inked all around my page drawing all of the colours together .

Next I stamped out the large Doodle art Gerbra and using a combination of inks and Ecoline pens and some water to blend it was coloured in and left to dry . Some white dots and details would be added later .

I then stamped out some leaves from the journaling essentials set #7 and a couple of the tape measures from the stitch borders art stamps set .

All of these elements were then glued on to my background and a stitched  border added using a white posca pen .

The final step was to add my sentiment , this was stamped out in black ink , cut into a banner and edged with black pen . While putting my stamps away I spotted the tiny bird from the Gerbra stamp set and couldn’t resist adding 3 little birds to my page .

Thank you for taking a look this week ,I hope you like my page , please remember to share any projects you create using the Bee crafty colour palette ,we love to see them .

Happy crafting
