Marleen DT - Hexagon

Hey again bloggers..

Wednesday again and im back with another bit of inspiration for
BeeCrafty..

Todays card was made for the last BeeCrafty show on Hochanda. Bev had the safari animals on, but on the list provided (to the DT) of goodies we could use was the Easy Frames. I love those stencils.. Find the full selection in the STORE..

So for this card I used the Hexagon, outie.. I simply lay down the stencil and used distress ink through.I remeoved the stencil and then took a selection of the Dinkables, layed them over the ink and strayed with water.I mopped some of the water up with a paper towel, removed the Dinkables and sprayed a bit more water.. just to make sure the colours really smudged. Once my background was dry again, I went back in with the Dinkables, but this time used a white gel pen and drew some of the pattern through. I then took a black gel pen and hand drew around the Hexagons. I finished with my greeting, heat embossed with white embossing powder on to black card and a black mat.

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

Christmas Snow Globe

Morning, Today I am sharing a snow globe card that I made using the Christmas Stamps that Bev brought to Hochanda recently. I have used the beautiful Ornate Christmas tree in conjunction with the circle and hexagon Inkables.

Taking my Super Smooth card, I taped the Hexagonal Inkable in place to form a base for the snow globe, I used Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to colour inside.

Next, I placed the large circle Inkable onto the base using washi tape. Then I started blending the Distress Inks to give the 3D appearance of the globe. I started with Shaded Lilac, then added Faded Jeans, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.

I had blended the colours in turn leaving a highlight towards the left to look like light shining onto the globe.

I used an anti static bag to wipe over the card before taking a versamark ink pad to stamp the elegant tree inside the globe. I covered this with fine silver embossing powder and used my heat gun from underneath to set.

Next using the circle from the Inkable set I masked my globe.

I then took the Holly stamp and using only the swirl part I stamped the background using Mowed Lawn and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink, I also used some of the colour to break up the whiteness of the background card.

I stamped my chosen sentiment in the top left hand corner using black Versafine ink.

To finish, I backed my design with black cardstock, giving a 5 mm border around the edge.

I do hope that you have enjoyed the step by step I have shared with you today and the finished card. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and I hope you to see you again very soon. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
