Calee CT - Week 43 palette colours

Hello , this week I have been having a play in my journal with the eek 43 palette colours .

My first step was to collect together inks and Ecoline water colour pens in the colour palette and find a new page in my A5 journal .

Choosing the greens from this colour palette , distress inks cracked pistachio and lucky clover. I lay down colour all over the page using a scrunched up plastic bag , which gave a lovely texture to my first layer of background.

This was followed by some stencilling using distress oxide wilted violet and the centre section of the swirling circles Inkable . At this stage I also inked around the edge of my page with the same ink .

Introducing another colour from the palette , villainous potion and using stamps from the Journal art elements 3 stamp set ,a border of hearts was added along with some random clusters of hearts .  Using the sun stamp from the Doodle Art Rainbow birds a sun was stamped into the centre of each spiral of  circles . These were coloured yellow and some yellow circles stamped again using stamps from the Journal  art elements set .

My focal images for this page were stamped from the Doodle Art Rainbow Birds , Journaling essentials #4  and Autumn Floral Art stamp sets . These were all coloured with inks and water colour pens from the week 43 colour palette.

When these were dry I  added white highlights with a gel pen and some previously stamped tape measure borders from the Art stamp set stitch borders .

My page was finished by gluing down all of my stamped elements on the my background and choosing a sentiment from the wordy stickers sheet  3B and drawing a bold black stitched border .

Thank you for stopping by this week  , hopefully you found my steps useful.

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Sunflower days

Hi There! Here's a simple card I made the other day using the Autumn stamps and catalyst collage papers released recently.

 

I began by stamping the Sunflower from the Autumn Florals stamp set onto a scrap of white card using Versafine Clair black ink. 

Next I coloured it in using Ecoline brush pens. 

I rounded the corners and sponged yellow ink around the edge of the card. 

next, I cut a piece of Catalyst collage paper from the Pumpkin Season A4 set, and used a couple of stamps from the Autumn and acorns stamp set to add to the background. I stamped in Sand Dune and Acorn Versafine Clair ink. 

I added a line of faux stitching using a fine liner around the edge and attached it to the front of an A6 card. 

Finally I added the Sunflower using 3d foam pads and a wordy sticker sentiment. 

I used:

Bee Crafty Autumn Floral stamp set

Bee Crafty Autumn and Acorns stamp set

Wordy Stickers - Autumn B

Ecoline pens

Alison CT - Autumn

Hi everyone, sorry this post is late but it's been a horrible weekend. Today I'm sharing a set of Autumn ATCs.

To begin, I cut three pieces of ATC sized (2.5 x 3.5 inches) black card and three pieces of the cover sheet from the A4 Catalyst Collage Autumn Art Journal pack. The cover sheet pieces I cut to 2.25 by 3.25 inches. I glued the catalyst collage to thr black pieces.

I added a white faux stitch around the black pieces.

I added the fern stamp, from the Autumn and Acorns stamp set, using Versafine Clair Medieval Blue ink.

I also added the oak leaf from the same set using purple delight Versafine Clair ink. 

On separate card I stamped both the mushrooms from the Autumn and Acorns stamp set several times. I then cut them out. As the backgrounds were quite dark and multi coloured I decided not to colour them.

I glued the mushrooms and some Autumn Wordy Stickers to each ATC.

Products used:

A4 Catalyst Collage Autumn Art Journal 

Autumn and Acorns stamp set 

Autumn Wordy Sticker black

Versafine Clair- Nocturne,  Medieval Blue,  Purple Delight

Calee CT - Autumn Tag

Hi , I’m afraid I can’t stop playing with these new autumn stamps ,so my step by step this week features them again . This time I have combined them with the Moth Art Stamps and used some contrasting colours .

On a plan white tag I smooshed  distress inks squeezed lemonade and spiced marmalade using a sheet of acetate and couple of light sprays of water . When this was dry I then layered some stencilling using Dinkables from sets 11and 12 and the same inks . The tag was then edged with distress ink wild honey .

Next some torn strips of old book page were added for another layer of background and texture along with some stamping using one of the smaller moths from the Moths Art stamps using cracking campfire distress ink .

 Next I stamped and coloured a combination of the leaves and toadstools from the Autumn & Acorns Art stamps and moths from the Moths Art stamps  .The leaves were coloured in traditional autumn colours and the moths and toadstools in shades that would contrast . Ecoline water colours were used for all of the images .

Next I used some glossy accents on the top of the toadstools , it’s a little hard to see in the photo ,but it gives the colours more depth and again adds more texture to the design .

My final step was to glue all of my coloured elements in place , add a doodled border using a black fine liner pen and a sentiment from the Autumn B sticker sheet .

I love how the contrasting colours on this tag make all the elements pop , thank you for taking a look and I hope you found the steps useful ,

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Has your seasonal preparation started yet?

Hi There! Is it too early to mention the C word? After all we are 2 thirds of the way through October! I decided it was about time to get the stamps out  and have a play.  

I began by die cutting a few circles from super smooth white card. 

Next I stamped and heat embossed the round Bauble from the Baubleicious set in silver. 

I used ecoline markers to colour the bauble. 

Using Tag inkables set 2, a blending brush and Peacock Feathers Distress ink, I added some ink to the background. 

On a scrap of card I stamped the sentiment in purple ink.

I trimmed it and brushed a little ink around the edges. 

Finally, I attached both the sentiment and the circle to the front of a dark purple card. 

Here's a close up of the embossing.

Inkables tag set 2

Bee Crafty Doodle Art Baubleicious stamp set

Alison CT - Pumkin Season

Hi everyone today I'm sharing a quick and easy card created using some card, Catalyst Collage paper and Wordy Stickers. 

To begin I created a 6 x 6 inch cream card blank and glued a 5 x 5 brown card matt on to it.

I then cut a piece of the Pumpkin Season Catalyst Collage paper to 4.5 x 4.5 inches, ensuring there was a suitable image on my piece. I glued this to the brown layer of my card.

Next I added gold faux stitches to the brown matt and brown faux stitches to the catalyst collage paper. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the Autumn Wordy Stickers and drew lines around each part.

Products used:

A4 Pumpkin Season Catalyst Collage papers

Calee CT - Vintage Autumn

 

Hi ,this week I have been having a play with this weeks ( 41 ) palette colours which I think  have a vintage feel .So my step by step this week is a vintage autumn journal page

Firstly I gathered together some inks ,pencils and sprays that worked with the colour palette.

 

Next I chose a paper from the Moths & Peonies catalyst collage pack which also  had a vintage feel , this was then cut to fit my 6x6 inch journal ,leaving a small border of page .

 This was given an inked edge using a combination of  vintage photo distress ink and versafine clair in pine cone .

The floral image on the paper was then coloured using two distress water colour pencils , forest moss and brushed corduroy ,for the foliage and distress ink uncharted mariner for the flower . The paper was then glued into my journal and given a white stitched border using a Posca pen .

Next it was time to create my focal images for this page . For this I used the Autumn and Acorns Art stamps , which I have to say are fast  becoming some of my favourite stamps . These were  stamped using the versafine clair ink - pine cone and coloured  with a combination of the palette colours using both the water colour pencils and inks. Highlights and details were added with a white gel pen .

To finish my page the stamped images were glued in place and the sentiment from this stamp set was added 

Thank you for taking look this week , don’t forget this months challenge theme is autumn and there is still lots of time to  join in , why not have a go ?

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Pumpkin Season card

Hi There! Thought I would share how I created this simple DL sized Autumn card today. It would be suitable for lots of different occasions , so for now I have left it without a sentiment. 

 I began by matting and layering a panel of Catalyst collage paper from the A4 Pumpkin Season set onto a DL card blank. 

Next I stamped a selection of leaves, mushrooms and acorns onto some watercolour card using Versafine Clair ink and cut them out.

I used a range pf Ecoline pens to colour them, blending with a wet brush. 

When these were dry I arranged a selection of them in the Bottom corner of the card and used 3d glue to attach them. 

Finally I added faux stitching in white on the Catalyst Collage paper and in black on the Base card. I may well use a wordy sticker or a stamp to finish it at a later date. 

I used:

Catalyst Collage papers - A4 Pumpkin Season

Bee Crafty Art Stamps - Autumn and Acorns

Black paper

DL white card

Black Versafine Clair ink

Ecoline pens

Black fine liner pen

White Posca Pen

This is a really simple card that would be perfect for entering in our Facebook Group Challenge where the theme is Autumn
