Marleen DT - Wild Flower Hochanda Samples.

Hey Bloggers..

Our Sam was on Hochanda yesterday with the Wild Flower stamp collection. The Bee's have added a few more stamps to this collection and its now only even better.

You can find them and all the other goodies in the BeeCrafty STORE.

Here are the samples I made for this show:

 This one is distress ink blended in a rainbow effect and then just plain stamping on top. I have cut up some of my greetings to I can use the words seperate from each other. If you dont want to cut up your stamps, just mask over the parts you dont want to ink, remove the mask and stamp :-)

 This art board, I cant take all the credit. It was inspired my my teamie Charlee. When these brick art boards landed Charlee was the first to add texture to hers. I absolutely loved her idea and admit I totally stole it.. I'll link to hers HERE so you can see the original idea.

Anyway.. I used a grit texture paste to create the texture, I just added a wee bit of paste to the bricks and once dry I used a mixture of Distress sprays and Lustre Luxe to get the background colours.

I stamped my WildFlower and heat set with black embossing powder and finished with a wee sentiment from the friendship collection.

 This one was really fun to make.. I started by stamping my moon and the flowers in Archival Ink. Just to make sure the stamping would stay put and not smudge when I added colour.

All my colours was added as sprays. I have several kinds of sprays from several companies, but my favorites are my Distress ones. I finised with a home made Lustre Luxe spray to add the top coat of shimmer..

 

 This one is Oxide inks. The yellows are added with the blending tool and I also used oxides to stamp the moon and flower. I finished by stamping my greeting wiht versafine black ink.

 An MDF tag. Went strait on with Oxide and once fully dry I stamped and heat set with black embossing powder. I added a few bats using the wee Dinkable and a black pen.

And last but not least.. Once again Oxide added with the blending tool in a faded effect. I stamped the moon in the same colour and  used the star Dinkable with a white gel pen. I also drew around the moon to male sure it realy stood out.. I finished by stamping a selection of the wild flowers.

And that is it for today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Marleen DT - Im late, Im late..

Hey Bloggers..

Its my day to share inspiration for BeeCrafty.. And guess what? I totally forgot..

Kids had first day back at school and so many things are happening here at the moment so it clean slipped my mind.. But never mind.. Thank god I have a few "back up" cards lying so that is what I'll share today.

I used the "Backdrop - Distressed Diamonds" stamps and the "WORD-age Friendship" sentiment stamp. Both on my favorite list. Find them both and all the other yummy stamps in the STORE.

 The background on the top card is a left over from a previous project I made where I just used the circle. I used my diamond stamp, stamping first in black, just lining up the stamp, and then in red in the gaps. The distress look of the stamp means it dont matter if the colours are fully lined up.

I added a bit of silver embossing powder to some of the black diamonds, but its very hard to see in the pic. As I said, my circle was already cut out so all I did was stamp my greeting onto my card blank and then overlay my background. 

The black circle, under the gems, is actually just me drawing around my die with a black marker and then filling in the gap. 

I finished with the gems and that was it.

This is the project I made using the circle.

And that is it from me today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Marleen DT - Distress Crayons and Butterflies

Hey Bloggers.

Thank you for popping by..

Todays projects is for BeeCrafty.

I had a right good play making this card. Its one of those that came together quite fast. It just kind a flowed..

For this card I used the following goodies:

Inkable template, Easy frame 4" circle

BEAUtanical - Large Branch

Winged things - Butterflies Set 2

WORDage - Friendship

 I also used Distress crayons and my Wink of Stella shimmer brush

Find everything and many more goodies in the STORE

 This card is made by laying down lots of different colours of Distress Crayons. I just smudged the colours with my fingers to get the blended look. I then took my inkable circle and and lay in the middle. I took a babywipe and ran it around inside the circle to remove some of the crayon. 

I left the card to dry and once dry I stamped my sentiment and my branches. I used black Archival ink. I also stamped my butterflies on some scrap card, coloured them with crayons and cut them out.

 To finish it was a simple black mat and gluing on my butterflies.

A very simple yet dramatic card.

  And that's all from me for today.

DT Kerrie - Brusho's Tags - WORDage

Happy Monday to you all and welcome to my Post for Bee Crafty

What a Crazy Weekend with Father's Day I hope you all had a lovely time with your families. I did with my Wonderful Hubby and our Children and his Parents we all had a lovely roast dinner and a Movie Night

I had the first bit of spending money available for a while so I visited ordered some Brusho's from Bee Crafty I have never used these before and so I had to open them up and try them out, so I created some Tags with them 

I used Watercolour Card cut into Tag Shapes, sprayed them with a water spritz spray bottle and then sprinkled over some of the Brusho's after making holes in the lids for ease of use - I teamed these with some Distress Inks

For the Blue/Green tag once dry I inked some leaves through the 'Leaves - Inkables Template' using Black Soot distress ink then inked the edges using the same ink. I stames the 'Life & Rain (large) - WORDage' stamp in the corner using Black Archival Ink. I trimmed a piece of linen cardstock a few mm larger than the tag to create a matt, I then inked the egdes using 'Peacock Feathers' and 'Black Soot' distress inks then glued the tag to it

For the Red/Brown tag once dried I stamped the 'Friendship (large) - WORDage' stamp into the corner of the tag using Brown Archival Ink. I inked the edges of the tag using 'Vintage Photo' distress ink. I then trimmed a piece of linen cardstock a few mm larger than the tag to create a matt, I then inked the egdes using 'Scattered Straw' and 'Vintage Photo' distress inks and then glued the tag to it

I had best leave this post here and get back to Sample Making for the upcoming Hochanda Shows at the Weekend where Bev will be showing off some New Stamps....eeeeks so exciting
