 Fernando Journal Page

 By DT Ann

I had a little me time the other day, created  journal page & enjoyed it so much that I decided to create on the opposite page… why do we go for the right hand page first ?

This page blends with the first, but also stands on its own… 

Dylusions Creative Journal 

Inkables Big Ones: Fernando

Stamps: Birds & Butterflies XL + Die & 

 Creativity Words small

Gelly Roll Moonlight Pens 

Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

Dylusions Shimmer Paints: Fresh Lime & Calypso Teal 

Black Gesso 

https://www.beecrafty.net/

I covered the page in black Gesso, dried, then using the two shimmer paints & a brayer, gently rolled some colour across the page… 

Using the Fernando Inkable & a size 08 Gelly Roll white pen I drew some ferns around the edges…

Then using two of the size 10 Moonlight Pens (Pink #420 & Yellow #403) & a white pen I filled in the centre using the circles on the same Fernando Inkable, making them into funky flowers… 

I know it seems fiddly but I find it relaxing, I was inspired by Lou Sims, who does some amazing doodles, using stencils! 

I doodled in the open spaces…

Next I stamped one of the Creativity Words onto a piece of white card, cut it down & added to my page… 

As the background is so colourful & busy I decided to add some butterflies,but kept them plain..  stamping with Versafine Clair Nocturne onto white card & die cutting them out… 

I glued the sentiment & butterflies down & added some dots here & there…

Sally DT - Do-you-think-he-saurus?

 Hi There! I am here with a step by step for this T-Rex card today. I have several dinosaur fans in the family, so this set was on my list to get. 

I began by smooshing a background of Crackling Campfire, Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness Distress oxide inks on to mixed media paper. Make sure this is completely dry before stamping on it.

Next I used rustic Wilderness and Vintage photo Distress oxide inks to stamp the smaller worker stamps over the smooshed background. 

I cut two tags from watercolour paper using the middle sized die from the tags and banners die set. I stamped the text stamp onto the tag with Vintage photo distress oxide and sponged a little around the edge of the tag too. 

I used Versamark ink to stamp the smaller dinosaur skull on to a scrap of gold card and embossed with fine detail white embossing powder. 

After cutting out the skull, I stamped the remaining tag with the leaf stamp in Tea Dye distress ink.

Next I assembled the card, sticking the background to an A5 white blank card. I added some string to the tags and attached them to the front of the card with 3d glue. I used the same glue to add the skull to the 2nd tag. It would be easy to personalise it by adding a name to the second tag too.

Here is another look at the finished card, along with links to the products in the Bee Crafty store:

Big Time .. by DT Ann

 Big Time

By DT Ann 

I’ve been wanting this stamp for a while.. it didn’t disappoint!! Love it .. so many elements to play with. My first project with the Time Measure stamp is on an XL tag…

Stamps: Time Measure / Time

Inks: Distress Archival: Black Soot & Mermaid Lagoon

Versafine Clair Nocturne 

Gesso - white

Acrylic Paint: teal & Turquoise

Ecoline Brush Pens : Fir Green (Botanic set ) & Turquoise Blue ( Fashion set )

MDF XXL TAG

https://www.beecrafty.net/

Gesso the tag & dry. 

Brayer some teal paint sparingly over the tag, leaving some white space. Dry & then repeat with a light turquoise, (brayer any excess paint onto a couple of separate pieces of paper as you’ll need it later). 

Continue adding layers, until you’re happy…  

Stamp the Time Measures onto your tag using Versafine Clair Nocturne… 

Stamp the Time Measure stamp, using Versafine Clair Nocturne, onto one half of the spare painted card ...  

Using the other half & Distress Archival Mermaid Lagoon & Black Soot, ink different elements of the stamp onto it, to use on your tag. 

Tip:Leave the stamp on the slim but take the paper to the stamp (careful not to move the paper, when doing this) … 

Fussy cut elements from the stamped image, building up your design as you go, you’ll notice mine changes slightly in the photos 😆 Colour some elements using Ecoline Brush Pens.. 

Use Versafine Clair Nocturne to stamp TIME  onto a painted piece of paper & cut up (strips).. 

Add some background stamping by just inking parts of the large Time Measure stamp & adding to the tag… 

Gather all your elements & place on the tag, once your happy with your layout glue it all together… If you struggle with layouts it’s good to take photos as you go along before you glue everything down.. 

 

To finish I added some shading with a pencil & some cabochons to hi light numbers.

Sally DT - Be Strong Journal spread

 Hi There! I have a new journal! I decided to buy one of the 6x6" Dina Wakely Kraft Journals and today I am showing you the first finished pages in it. 

I began by painting blocks of shimmer paint and some Gesso onto the double page of the Kraft journal.

Next I added a couple of patches of texture paste through the Bakewell inkable.

I stamped the dotty border, arrows and question marks using Versafine Clair black ink. I also snuck in a bit of white pen to add a few highlights

Next I added the Dina Wakely collage paper words using matte medium and set it aside to dry

I stamped Rainbow view onto a scrap of white card and cut it out

Finally I stuck the house to the page with matte medium adding a bit of shadow with a grey scribble stick.

Check out that shimmer!

Jane DT - 'Future Girl' Art Journal Spread

Hello!

This week I thought it was about time I completed some more pages in my tag art journal...

1) The pages of this journal are already pre coloured with distress oxide sprays so I chose the ones that I wanted to use...

2) Then I used the Honeycomb Multi inkable with Wild Honey distress ink to add some pattern to the pages...

3) Next I stamped the small ledger circle from the Dragonfly stamp set using black archival ink,..

4) After stamping parts of the Light Bulb Circuit stamp onto tissue, I tore some parts off and added them to the spread using distress collage medium...

5) Once this was fully dried I used my white and black pens to add some colour and doodles to the pages...

6) When I looked through my box of pre stamped images, I discovered one of the Winter Journaling Girls which had already been coloured and had glossy accents on.  The colours went with the spread so well that I decided to add her.  

7) Finally I chose a sentiment from Ticker Tape 1 that went with the look of the pages and stamped it onto black, heat embossing in white...

Here are links to the products used:

* Distress Ink Pads

* Archival Ink Pads

* Honeycomb Multi Inkable

* Dragonfly Stamp Set

* Light Bulb Circuit XL

* Winter Journaling Girls - Cool

* Ticker Tape 1

* White Superfine Embossing Powder

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
