Circle of Friends

 

Hi There! I am here with a super-quick and easy card for my blog post as I am being a busy Bee with samples at the moment. It would be a really good card for a beginner to have a go at too. 

I began by placing the innie from the inkable easy frame circle onto a white card blank and sprayed it with salvaged patina distress oxide spray. I then left it to dry thoroughly.

next I stamped the Circle of friends sentiment in the centre of the circle with versafine clair black ink. 

I covered the sentiment up using the circle mask and then stamped the coffee stain stamps all over in crackling campfire and wild honey Distress oxide inks. I removed the mask and managed to keep my inky fingers from the white space. 

Here is the finished card. I rather like that colour combo! 

To make this card you will need:

A 6x6in white card blank

Inkable easy frame regular circle

Circle of friends stamp

Coffee stains stamps

Salvaged patina distress oxide spray

Wild Honey Distress oxide ink pad

Crackling campfire distress oxide ink pad

Versafine or versafine clair black ink

There is going to be a facebook launch of new stamps a week tomorrow, so start looking out for sneaky peeks later this week.

Thanks for looking! 

Sassy Journal spread

 Hi There! Hope you have had a great time over the last few days and been able to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones. I am here to share a step by step for a rather cheeky journal spread I made recently in my Kraft Journal.

I began by painting white gesso on each page leaving a kraft border. I then painted over with the dylusions paint and dylusions shimmer paint in random patches.

Next I added some Dina Wakely metallic paint.

I used a dinkable and a texture disc to add some texture - some with texture paste and some with white gesso

Once this was dry I added stamping in Black versafine clair - First the ledger stamp...

Then some coffee rings and numbers from the coffee stains set. I set this aside to dry.

I stamped the Sassy Journaling Girl in black onto white paper and cut out 

I stuck her to the page with Distress Collage Matte medium.

Next I selected a back chat sticker and added it to the opposite page.

Finally I added a few sequins, white splatters and highlights using moonlight gelly rolls, a posca pen and the Dina Wakely white gloss spray.

I used:

Bee Crafty Ledger stamp

Bee Crafty coffee stains stamp set

Bee Crafty Journalling girl Sassy

Dylusions paints in blue lagoon and periwinkle blue

Dylusions shimmer paint in bubblegum pink

Dina Wakely acrylic paint in Ancient

Dinkables set 6

Texture discs set 3

Backchat stickers set 2

Circles galore and some Karate News!

 

Hi There! I am here with a quick and simple card for you today. It has been rather hot and sticky here in the UK and so a little simple crafting was just the ticket.

I began with a 6x6" white card blank. I used the innie from the small scalloped circle easy frame, Distress oxide ink in seedless preserves and a blending brush to go around it three times. It doesn't need to be central.

Next I took the circles D'inkable and inked through it with a blending brush and blueprint sketch Distress Oxide ink.

In the centre of the card I stamped the Dragonfly using versafine clair ink.

I then stamped the coffee stains in the same shades of Distress Oxide ink randomly around the card. 

I added a sentiment from the small words set, stamped on to a scrap of white card and edged with the seedless preserves ink. I used gel medium to attach it to the card.

Finally I added a little pastel blue ecoline to the body of the dragonfly and then made it sparkly with a gelly roll clear stardust pen.

Here are links to the products I used:
