Sally CT - A simple card in Pastel Colours

Hi There! I am here with a quick and simple card for you today. 

I began by adding masking tape about a third of the way across a 5x5" card blank, then blending speckled egg distress ink through the inkable big one, but not up to the edge of the card.
Next I used the mandala inkable and blended kitsch flamingo Distress Oxide ink through it 
on a separate scrap of card I stamped the smaller dandedaisy in memento ink and coloured with alcohol markers. 
I stuck this to the card along the area where the tape was.
I stamped the sentiment using second generation Fantasia Versafine Clair ink.
Finally I added some more stamping using the worker stamps from Journaling Essentials #4 and Speckled egg distress ink. I also added spots of gold liquid pearls around the mandala.

Here is the finished card again. 
I used:
5x5" white card blank
Masking tape
Distress oxide ink - Kitsch Flamingo
Memento Black ink

Thanks for looking! I will be live at 8pm this evening over on the Bee Crafty Facebook Page. I would love to see you there!

Alison CT - Smile it's Free!!!

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using a range of inkables and some of the journaling essentials stamp sets.
To begin, place the 6" circle easy frame over the basket weave stencil (you can tape them to the page if you wish) and blend salty ocean and faded jeans distress oxide ink through them. Spritz the ink on the basket weave stencil with water and press onto the top left and bottom right of the page. Leave to dry.

Next, I replaced the circle easy frame over the stenciled area and drew a black line around the edge. I then drew a freehand wobbly line over the first.
I then added areas of the alternate circles inkable over the basket weave and around the edge of the circle using tumbled glass distress oxide.
Next I freehand stamped the script background using faded jeans distress oxide.
Next I added three of the rounded leaves from journaling essentials 2 using versafine clair nocturne.

On seperate card, I stamped three of the flower from journaling essentials 3 and 9 of the small leaf from journaling essentials 2 using the nocturne ink. I used my pencil crayons and a white gel pen to colour the images, then I cut them out. I cut down between the petals and used a ball tool and foam mat to shape the flowers and leaves.
I used distress collage medium to adhere the flowers and leaves to the page.

I then added a sentiment from the beautiful and brave transparency sheet.
Products used:
Alternative Circles inkable
Transparency Prints Beautiful and Brave black on clear
Distress Oxide ink- salty ocean, faded jeans, tumbled glass 

Thank you for taking a look.

Sally CT - More Collage Inspiration

Hi there! The theme for our Bee Crafty Facebook challenge this month is Collage, so I made another card with a collage background. This one is more precisely cut with strips of paper the same width but different colours.

I began by arranging the strips diagonally over a 4.5 inch square of card. I stuck them down using matte medium. 
When this was dry I trimmed the ends to make it square again. 
I used black soot distress oxide ink to add some circles through the inkable big one. 
I also added some texture paste through the dots dinkable. 
Next I stamped the largest mandala from Doodle art Mandalas set #1 in Black Versafine Clair Ink.
I cut out the centre and coloured it using ecoline pens
on a scrap of black card I stamped the sentiment from small words in Versamark ink and embossed it using fine detail white embossing powder. I cut this into a banner shape.
Finally, I added the mandalas to the centre of the background using 3d glue gel. I mounted this onto a 5inch square card, adding the sentiment and some gold liquid pearls to finish.
Here's a close up of the centre. 
I used:
5inch square white card
4.5inch square of card
Strips of card in coordinating colours
Distress oxide ink in black soot
Big ones inkable - Circles for circles
Texture paste - opaque matte
Ecoline pens
3d glue gel
Versamark ink
Black card 
Gold Pearl liquid Pearls
 
Thanks for looking and I hope you get chance to enter the challenge!

Alison CT - Collage Inspiration

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created as inspirations for Sally's collage challenge in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1511225329105390/?ref=share).

To begin, let's define collage. Collage is a piece of art made by sticking pieces of paper, images, cloth or photographs onto a surface.

I began by using distress collage medium to glue three strips of catalyst paper to the page, leavjng a white border around each piece. I left this to dry naturally. 

Next I used versafine clair nocturne ink to stamp the numbers from Journa Art Elements 3 onto two of the strips of catalyst paper. 

Then I stamped the script background onto the catalyst paper strips. I used versafine nocturne ink.

Again using versafine clair nocturne, I added the crosses and dots from Journaling Essentials 1; the zig zag line and two small circles from Journaling Essentials 5 to the strips of catalyst paper. 

On seperate card, I stamped the two larger flower heads from Journaling Essentials 4, adding a stem and leaves to them. I also stamped 21 of the small flower from the same stamp set. Also I stamped the Doodle Art Butterfly. I coloured all the images with Ecoline pens and a damp paintbrush. I cut them all out. Then I stuck them to the strips of catalyst paper.
Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Ticker Tape 1 stamp set, cut it out and glued it to the page.

Products used:
Ecoline Pens - light rose, fushia, light yellow, saffron yellow, deep orange, forest green, grass green, scarlet, turquoise blue, sky blue light 

I hope I've inspired you to have a go at the challenge.

Sally CT - imagine something wonderful Journal page


Hi There! I have enjoyed a little play in my kraft journal using a variety of Bee Crafty stamps, inkables and catalyst papers. Here's how I did it. 
I began by adding some catalyst paper to the right hand side of the page with matte medium. 
Next I used the 4x4 easy frame star to add some white ink stars to the kraft part of the page. 

I also added some partial stars in Black soot Distress oxide ink.
using the star D'inkable from set 1, I added some small stars using texture paste. 

I stamped the stars in white ink around the page.
using versafine clair black ink I stamped the squares around the page. 
On a separate scrap of card I stamped, cut out and coloured the flower and leaves. 

I also stamped a sentiment and cut it out. 
Finally I added all elements to the page with Matte medium and splattered a little Radical Gloss Drops to finish it. 
I used:
Dina Wakely 6x6 Kraft Journal
White  ink

Alison CT - Butterfly Circles

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using circles and the Doodle Art Butterfly stamp.

I began by blending Frayed Burlap distress oxide ink over the centre of the page, then I stamped areas of the crackle background using the same ink.

Next I used Aged Mahogany distress oxide to add freehand areas of the Script Background stamp. I used 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations of the ink to give different shades to it.
Then, using Ground Espresso distress oxide,  I stamped the stitch style stamp from the Freehand Borders stamp set vertically, horizontally and diagonally on the page.

Next I curved the row of hearts, from the Journal Art Elements 2 stamp set, onto my super skinny slim and stamped it twice onto the page using Ground Espresso ink.
On seperate card, I stamped the Doodle Art Butterfly and a variety of circle stamps using ground espresso ink. The circles are from the Dragonfly, Journaling Essentials 1 and 2 and Journal Art Elements 3. I coloured these with a waterbrush and ground espresso and aged mahogany ink.
I decided the background needed something else, so I added the numbers using aged mahogany. 
Next I glued the butterfly and circles to the page using distress collage medium.

Finally I added a sentiment from Ticker Tape 1, which I had stamped using ground espresso ink. 

Products used:
Distress Oxide  - ground espresso, aged mahogany and freyed burlap 

Thank you for taking a look.
