Marleen DT - Pocket Letter

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

 

Its once again wednesday and time for my weekly slot for

Bee Crafty.

This week Ive had a play with a whole heap of stamps as I've had another go at making a pocket letter.

Ive used the following stamps:

 Large Branch

  Clover

 Maidenhair

  Freddie & Fleur - Tete a tete 

 Science of Beauty

Decision to try 

Live, Laugh, Love Circle

Vitruvian man

You can find them all in the  STORE..

Here is what Ive made for this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I did was cutting my pieces of card to fit each pocket. Then painted all the cards with different colours. I used H2o's with sprays of water to colour mine.

I then stamped each card with my chosen stamp and added a few decorations.
All I need now to finish of this pocket letter is to fil the pockets with goodies and a letter and send to my swap partner.

And that is all from me for today.

Hiya and welcome to my Tuesday post for Bee Crafty Stamps

I have been getting messy with some of my Inspired by Da Vinci stamps I brought with my pocket money a few weeks ago - I have a Need! list of  new stamps for Payday im a bit addicted 

For this card I have used....

Science of Beauty & Da Vinci Script 

BEAUtanicals - Cow Parsley

Distress Ink Pads - Victorian Velvet, Tea Dye & Walnut Stain

White Pearlescent Cardstock

Watercolour Card

Pearlescent Textured Paper

6x6 Scallop Card Blank

Circular Frame Die

Waterbrush & Blending Tool

Paper Flowers - Cherry Blossom & Roses

Gems

I stamped Science of Beauty off-centred onto a trimmed piece of watercolour card using Memento Ink 'Rich Cocoa' then stamped again onto eclipse masking tape and cut around to form a mask which I fixed over the stamped image on the card. I then inked up the Da Vinci Script using Tye Dye distress ink and stamped twice over the edge of the mask to create a script background. I inked up the Cow Parsley and stamped around the edges of the card filling in all the gaps and stamping in various directions. I then removed the mask to reveal no script has been stamped accross her face. I used my waterbrush to wash over the background blending the 2 colours slightly. I tapped the Walnut Stain & Victorian Velvet ink pads onto my glass mat then using my waterbrush to pick up the colour I painted her hair and features of her face. I let this dry out while I prepared my paper flowers, first I trimmed off the stems then inked the edges using Walnut Stain ink and my blending tool. 

I trimmed a piece of pink pearlescent textured paper to a leave a few mm border around the watercoloured picture and fixed this to the cardblank. I inked the edges of the watercolour picture using Walnut Stain ink and my blending tool and attached this to the card front. I die cut the Circlular Frame using white pearlescent cardstock - I attached this over Science of Beauty and most of the script to frame them using a glue gun. I then arranged and fixed the flowers using the glue gun. I used the stems to create foliage in between the flowers. I finished the Card with some gems in the corners.

I hope you like my project and will visit again soon to see gorgeous makes by the Design Team Girls

Hi guys..

Time for my weekly fix of 

Bee Crafty.

The more I work with the stamps from Bee Crafty, the more I love them.
And the stamp im working with this week, is no exception.

Its called "Science of Beauty" and is from the "Inspired by Da Vinci" range.
the Da Vinci range I think is my favorite of them all and I was VERY excited when this stamp landed at my door. So expect to her this beauty on fure projects as well :-)

Here is what I've made:

For this card I pulled out a packet of paper from my stash to play with and it really inspired the whole card. The text and the gold hearts is on the paper so the background was kind a done.
I stamped the image our on watercolour card and smothered in distress ink.
The gold around the image and the corners on the card is made with versamark and gold embossing powder.
The greeting is an embossing folder, proberly a freebie from a mag. Once embossed I added distress ink and added gold embossing powder over the letters, using a glue pen.

The heart behind the image is cut with a die.

For my second card I decided to go with a vibrant colour.
My image is stamped and smothered with distress ink. Then sprayed with a spray glue and covered in glitter.

Tthe back ground is made with an embossing folder and once again distress ink.
Finished with an OVER sized bow and a sentiment from the "Wordage" series, called "Best wishes/Special thougts".

And that is all from me for today.
