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.

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

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.

Abstract Inkables Big One

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

Alison CT - Three Floral Notelet Cards

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a guide to creating these three floral notelet cards. They are also inspiration for Sally's new challenge in the Facebook group  - Inkables.

For the first card, I began by blending wilted violet distress oxide through the text part of the Coffee Stains Text Inkable. Then I blended seedless preserve distress oxide through the Coffee stains part of the same inkable. Next I stamped the zig-zag hand drawn border, using Versafine Clair nocturne ink, to create a frame. On separate card I stamped the large Doodle Art Daisy head twice. I coloured them with seedless preserve and wild honey distress oxides, then cut them out. I mounted the background piece onto a 5x7 landscape card, then added the daisies and a Small Words sentiment. 

For the second card, I blended ripe persimmon distress oxide through the stripes on the Triangle Stripes inkable. Next I blended crackling campfire distress oxides through the Perspective Circles inkables. I then stamped the rectangles freehand border, using Versafine Clair nocturne ink,  to create a border. Finally I added a stamped Doodle Art Sunflower head and a Small Word sentiment. 

For the final card, I blended shabby shutters distress oxide through the Metal Work Alpha inkable. Then I blended salty ocean distress oxide through the Alternate Circles inkable. I stamped the circle Freehand Borders stamp using Versafine Clair nocturne.  On separate card I stamped both the Doodle Art Tulips and coloured them with salty ocean,  antique linen and shabby shutters distress oxide. After cutting them out I glued them to the card and stamped a Small Words sentiment.

Calee CT - Bee Crafty Palette week 17

Hi  , my step by step for you this week is a card using the colours from the Bee Crafty palette ,can you believe we are up to week 17 !

 Firstly I cut a piece of card slightly big than the  6x6 inch easy frame and taped the frame down .

Next I added some ink ,using Lucky Clover and Broken China .This was then spritzed with a little water and some of the ink removed .

Taking this Inkables tag from set 1 and Twisted Citron distress oxide , a strip of stencilling was added.

Then using some of the smaller stamps from the Doodle Art Dandedaisy and Rustic Wilderness distress ink I randomly stamped some leaves and added few circles which were coloured in white . I also added some white dot detailing to the stencilled area and a stitched border.

My next step was to stamp and colour the Doodle Art Dandedaisy. This was coloured with a combination of the distress inks and Ecoline water colour pens prom the colour palette ,with some white highlights .

My background was given an edging with some Villainous Potion Distress ink and mounted on to a white card blank .

To finish my card I glued down the Dandedaisy and added a sentiment from the Everyday sentiments 1 stamp set ,edged in black and cut as a banner . As you will notice I also added a smaller Dandedaisy , coloured to coordinate ,to the top corner to complete the design .

I hope you like my take on this weeks colour palette , don’t forget if you create any projects using this weeks palette please share them into the group as we love to see them .

Happy crafting

Sally CT - My most favourite Bee Crafty Colour Palette yet!

 

Hi there! I had a lovely time playing in my journal with the latest Bee Crafty Palette. Here's what I did. 

I began by sponging Broken China and Twisted Citron across a double page in my 5x5" journal. 

Next I used the Fern Flourish and Bakewell Inkable: Big ones and blended through some Villainous Potion and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks.

I also sprayed a little Twisted citron Distress Spritz through the inkable. 

Whilst the background was drying I stamped the Doodle Art Dragonfly in Versafine clair black ink and coloured it using broken China and Villainous potion Distress Oxide inks. I also added a few white pen dots. 

Once the background was dry I added some stamping using the smaller stamps from Journaling Essentials #9 and the same distress oxide inks. 

Next I added the dragonfly to the page using matte medium. 

On a scrap of lime green card I stamped the ticker tape sentiment in black versafine clair. I cut it out and added it to the page with matte medium. 

Here are the finished pages again.

Doodle Art Dragonfly stamp set

Journaling Essentials #9 stamp set
