Also used:

Here are my samples with a brief overview

I used the Abstract Leaves,  which were stamped, and cut out, out in Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide. These were adhered to a foam pad to create this 3d flower
The Glad I did It sentiment was stamped in the centre of the Style Wire Circle Frame with one of the Style Wire Borders being used to create a frame

The Style Wire Square Frames were stamped in Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide.
I blended through the Dots, Circle Lattice and Sunset D'Inkables to create the "flowers"
The Sunset D'Inkable was inked through in Worn Lipstick to represent the Sun
Some of the Abstract Leaves were stamped directly onto the card and some were stamped on a seperate piece of card. These were cut out then adhered with 3d glue gel. This creates dimension to the card
I stamped the Life Is Good sentiment in Deep Lagoon versafine

The canvas Board was covered in Golden Gate, Sea Green and Ocean Blue Lustre Luxe and one of the Style Wire Borders was stamped around the edge in black onyx versafine.
The Style Wire Square Frame and Dreams Come True sentiment were also stamped in black onyx versafine
I used Ocean Blue through the Feathers D'Inkables,  to add dimension

I cut a panel of black card that fitted across my card blank. Double sided adhesive was used, with gilding flakes, to create two strips along the two edges
The Style Wire Heart frames, and Love sentiment, were stamped in Versmark ink then heat embossed in gold
Golden Gate Lustre Luxe was used through the Heart D'Inkable
The panel was adhered to card blank using foam pads

I embossed the Off Set Dots Inkable onto black card then rubbed Moonstone Lustre Luxe over the top, to highlight the dots
The Style Wire Circle Frames and Circle Of Friends sentiment, were stamped in Versmark and heat embossed in Silver
These were layered onto rainbow mirri

I used Ocean Blue and Lavender Quartz Lustre Luxe through the Cracked Glass D'Inkable.
The Be Yourself sentiment was stamped onto vellum, in Versmark and heat embossed in black

Lavender Quartz, Ocean Blue and Moonstone Lustre Luxe was blended over an MDF Artboard Tag.
Iced Spruce and Faded Jeans Distress Oxides, and Black Soot Distress Ink, were blended through the Skylines 1,3,HP Inkables
I used Moonstone Lustre Luxe through the Sunburst D'Inkable
The sentiment was stamped in black onyx versafine,  cut out and adhered with wet glue

The background was made by blending Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry onto a glass mat, spritzing with water then mopping up the ink on my card. I dried each layer off before adding more ink.
I used the same colour inks through the Dots and Circle Lattice D'Inkables,  to add dimension.
The Style Wire Square Frames and Being Happy sentiment were stamped in Versmark ink and heat embossed in white.

Faded Jeans, Picked Raspberry and Iced Spruce were inked onto a glass mat, spritzed with water then the card was dragged through it to create this background. I dried in between, adding more ink until I was happy with the effect.
Worn Lipstick was blended through the Sunset and Splatter D'Inkables, to create the sun.
I used Faded Jeans DO and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink through the Georgia and Capitol Skyline Inkables. A white gel pen was used to highlight areas of the skyline
To finish the sentiment was stamped in Deep Lagoon versafine

Having made some Pixie Powder backgrounds, I stamped and cut out the Style Wire Heart Frames in black onyx versafine.
The Abstract Leaves were also stamped in black onyx versafine and cut out.
I stamped the Style Wire Borders across the top and bottom of the kraft card panel, and sentiment, in the black onyx.
The two smaller hearts were adhered with foam pads to add dimension

Marleen T - Lustre Luxe and Oxide inks

Hey Bloggers

Once again wednesday and my turn to share inspiration for
BeeCrafty..

For today I have had a play with my Lustre Luxe.
For those who dont know what Lustre Luxe is, pop over to my YOUTUBE channel for and see the TUTORIAL I made on the Lustre Luxe.

These 2 cards really started bacause I wanted to see the difference of Lustre on different card. The gold background is on black card. The green is on white smooth and the red Lustre is on water colour card. I then wanted to see if Oxide ink would be able to stick to the Lustre so I grabbed my "Birds & Butterflies" stamp set and used a different stamp on each colour. I stamped with an Oxide colour that was close to the Lustre Colour.

The funny thing is, although I used 3 different colours of Oxides they all look the same now on top of the Lustre. I didnt spray any water on the Oxide simply as I was afraid the water would just puddle up and trying to mop it up would wipe the stamping off..

Please note the Oxides took quite some time to fully dry BUT its dry and stays put (unless you give it a very good rub)

Well once my backgrounds was dry, I cut the 3 panels you see here on the top card. I simply matted and layered on top of a black piece of card and I finished the card with a sentiment stamp.

 This one is made from the leftover background. I simply diecut a circle from each background and layered them up with foam tape. Again, finished with a sentiment stamp.

 And that is it for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

 Happy Crafting

Charlee DT - Skull

Afternoon crafters. Bit late this afternoon, had rough couple of days with little one. This week I got hold of some stencil brushes so had a play and I'm in love.

What you'll need:

• White card, Black card, Red glitter card and 7x7 Card blank
• Skull and Raven stamp
• Roman Numerals stamp
• Chain link dinkable
• Metal work alpha inkable
• Spiderweb inkable
• Circle easy frame 
• Distress ink festive berries, ripe persimmon, fired brick, mustard seed and carved pumpkin
• Stencil brushes
• Crackele accents

Step 1:

Cut some white card down to 6x6. Place the easy frame circle in the centre and tape down with so low tack tape. Load up some mustard seed ink onto your stencil brush. Brush some off on scrap paper and gently brush over the circle. Repeat with carved pumpkin going round the circle. And just round the edges with the festive berries.

Step 2:

Take your chain link dinkable and load up your stencil brush with ripe persimmon and go through the whole circle. Next take the metal work alpha and ink through with in random places with fired brick.

Step 3:

Ink up the roman numerals in ripe persimmon distress ink and stamp randomly in the cirlce. Then ink up the skull and raven in versafine oynx black. Take the spiderweb inkable and in the corners of the card blend festive berries with your stencil brush. Once you're happy matt and layer on black and red glitter card.

Step 4:

Take the crackle accents and put it all over the skull. Let it dry over night if possible so the cracks fully come through. Then adhere to your card blank.

That's all from me this week. Hope you enjoy and are inspired to have a go. Of course you can still recreate this with blending tool. Tune into hochanda this Thursday at 11 and 3 to see our beautiful Bev demoning some stunning stamps and to see mine and the rest of the fabulous DT's samples

Until next week

Lorre-Anne DT - 4 Hearts For You

Hi everyone, time to share another of my Bee Crafty DT projects with you all and this week I've been playing with the Style Wire Hearts.

Materials

• White 6" x 6" card blank
• Black & white cardstock
• Everyday sentiments stamps
• Style Wire Hearts stamps
• Distress Oxides (B.China, S.Marmalade, W.Lipstick)
• Onyx Black Versafine ink

What to do

• Cut some black card slightly smaller than the card blank, and 2 pieces of white card slightly smaller again.
• Smoosh some of the Distress Oxides on to a blending mat and spritz with water, drag one of the white pieces of card through the Oxides and then dry with a heat tool.  Repeat this, occasionally flicking water until you achieve the look you are after.
• On the other piece of white card use Versafine ink to stamp 4 hearts, then use a craft knife to cut the centre of the hearts out.  Glue this card to the blended oxide card, then mat both to the black card and attach to the card blank.
• Finish by adding a stamped sentiment.

Happy Crafting!

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x

Jane DT - Da Vinci Cards

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty Blog I thought I would share a few cards that I made for the recent Da Vinci shows on HOCHANDA.

The products used were...

* Da Vinci Background - Art Stamps
* Da Vinci Science of Beauty - Art Stamps
* Da Vinci Wings - Art Stamps
* Da Vinci Vitruvian Man - Art Stamps
* Art Is Never Finished - Wordage Stamps
* XL Script - Backdrops Stamp
* Distress Oxide Ink Pads
* Distress Ink Pads

 

This card was created using the distress oxides to create a piece of background card by squashing it onto a heatproof mat, spritzing with water then swooshing the card into it.  This card was then used to stamp on to with the wings and cut out, then a piece cut to size as a background and stamped with the background stamp.  The sentiment was stamped onto black card then embossed with white powder before being cut into sections.

The diorama card was created using 2 pieces of card which were cut and scored.  The XL crackle stamp was used to create a patterned paper effect, and the vitruvian man stamped and the square part cut out with the wings used at the sides.  A mat and layer was created for the inside and attached with foam pads.   A die was used to cut the aperture and a piece of acetate was placed inside which was lightly stamped in places.

I wanted to create an aged sepia toned card as I thought it suited the stamps well.  After stamping the science of beauty onto a piece of card that was coloured with distress ink, I cut it into 4 sections and matted them onto brown card.  The background was also stamped onto a distress inked piece of card and then water flicked on to create lighter spots.  I chose just to use a couple of words from the sentiment stamp and added these to the top and bottom.

Thank you for reading, I hope you are looking forward to the next Bee Crafty shows on Thursday!

Happy crafting,

Jane xx

Marleen - Da Vinci Samples

Hey Bloggers..

I just realised that I didnt share my samples from the last Hochanda show for 

BeeCrafty..

So today I thought Id share with a little write up on how I made them..

 Bev was on Hochanda last week with the Inspired by Da Vinci series. Some older stamps but added with some new amazing ones.. 

 This one is using the Vetruvian Man stamp over a background made with Oxides. I used the script stamp to add a bit of texture.

 This one seem to have gotten some serious attention.. But its a very simple card. I used a smooth card stock and added oxide inks. It was fun to see how they reacted to the smooth card stock. I then simply stamped the signature stamp repeatedly. The wings I stamped seperately, coloured with distress ink and fuzzy cut.. That was it..

 This one is also Oxides. But I heat embossed the script stamp in gold embossing powder. I then added my background to my card blank and die cut a circle. The circle I cut out, I added glue on the back, closed my card and stuck the circle "back in place". When the card gets opened the circle will be stuck to the inside of the card. I then stamped my Vetruvian man onto accetate and heat embossed with black. I stuck him behind the window of my card and finished by die cutting a black border to go around the edge.

 For this one I decided to make a shaker card. The whole card front is made as 1 piece. I used my circle stencil/mask to make the darker circle in the middle. I then stamped my Horse image and used the crackle stamp to add a bit more dimention.. I then die cut my circle, added accetate to my window, loat of double sided foam and added shaker bits before sticking it all together.

 This one is done as the blue signature one as above. Smooth card, oxide inks and signature stamp. I just cut my panel to fit, stamped my wings, coloured and fuzzy cut.

 Oh this one is my favorite of them all. The Da vinci stamps what the ones that made me discover BeeCrafty. And the vetruvian man is my favorite of them all. Here Ive used him on an A5 card over a distress ink rainbow. The white circle is just me stamping on to white card and die cutting.

 Another rainbow.. Individual pieces of card coloured with distress ink and pieced together. Cracle stamp for extra texture and vetruvian man in the middle.

 Last but not least.. An MDF tag.. I used my beloved Lustre Luxe strait on to the tag and used a seection of the stamps. I made the circles also with Lustre Luxe and just used my ink blending tool to make them.

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

Charlee DT - Da Vinci Samples

Morning crafters. Hope you've all had a lovely crafty week. This week's blog will be showing my samples for the gorgeous Da Vinci stamps that our beautiful Bev took on hochanda on Saturday.

You can find all the stamp used here and dinkables used here

I used distress oxides for this sample. The cogs, XL script, Science of beauty and the Da Vinci Wings for this sample.

I used oxides again for this sample, Da vinci wings, Cogs, Sforza Horse and the honeycomb dinkable. Also one of the easy frames.

On one of the MDF tags I painted with pebeo pear, Stamped the cogs with black memento. Stamped the vitruvian man onto some tissue paper and stuck on with modpoge. To finish I added some clear gems.

For this sample I used normal distress inks. I coloured the vitruvian man with a gold aquatint. On the background I used the honeycomb dinkable and clear embossed the wings. I also clear embossed some of the ticker tape sentiments onto black card and then lightly went over with one of the gold lustre luxes using my finger.

For this sample I did a technique called triple layered stamping. ( there's plenty of tutorials to look through on you tube) Used distress inks, Science of beauty, Da vinci wings, one of the keys, Time sentiment and the XL script

 I used distress oxides and the smooshing technique for this one. The Sforza horse, part of the pocket watch stamp and the time flies sentiment.

This is probably my favourite one I made using the vitrovian man. I stamped him out 4 times and coloured with some sparkle pens. I then triple embossed each one and then popped in the freezer for a few mins. When I took them out I bended the card so they would crack. I also used the XL script on the card blank.


Until next week

Lorre-Anne DT - Da Vinci Hochanda samples

Hi everyone, I've been busy the past few weeks designing samples for the recent Bee Crafty shows on Hochanda... this time round I was playing with the Da Vinci stamps and here is what I came up with.

• Sforza Horse stamp
• Vitruvian Man stamp
• Wings stamp
• Laurel Border stamp
• Crackle Paint stamp
• Script stamp
• Ticker Tape sentiments stamp

Background created using S.Marmalade, V.Photo & B.China Distress Oxides.  Science Of Beauty and Laurel Border stamped using Versafine ink.

Background created using B.China Distress Ink & Oxide.  Sforza Horse stamped using Versafine ink - stamped around the edge of the card using a section of the Science Of Beauty stamp.

Stamped the wings and Vitruvian Man using Versamark ink and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.

Created a shadow box card from 2 pieces of 7" x 7" cardstock.  Stamped the script on the outer panel, the crackle on the inner panel and the Vitruvian Man using using W.Stain ink.

Background created using T.Citron, S.Shutters, P.Paint & C.Olive inks. Stamped the script using P.Paint ink, and also blended this through the Distressed Harlequin.  Stamped the Sforza horse using Versafine ink, and added some colour using P.Paint and a water brush.

The central purple square was achieved by smooshing some D.Concord ink on an acrylic block, spritzing with water and pressing the block to the centre of the card.  Leave for 5 minutes for colour to intensify, remove then dry using heat tool.  I stamped the Science Of Beauty using Versafine ink.  Finished by adding Ticker Tape sentiments.

Panel masked off with tape, I blended P.Raspberry & P.Feathers in this to achieve the colours, then blended some ink through the Distressed Harlequin Dinkable.  I also took a damp baby wipe and rubbed through some of the Distressed Harlequin.  I stamped a few butterflies in this panel too, then removed the masking tape.  The Science Of Beauty and Laurel Border was stamped using Versafine ink.

I really had fun playing with these stamps, and I hope you like what I created using them.  Be back next week with a new project to share with you all.
