A hot dandedaisy

 

Hi There! Has it been warm enough for you?! I have to admit I have wilted a bit over the weekend. With the end of the month a few days away, I thought I would show you how I made this card with it's hot colours (Just like the Bee Crafty Facebook Group challenge theme!). 

I began by blending Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Mustard Seed distress ink over some smooth white card. 

Next, I stamped the 'rainbows' and the circles from Journaling Essentials #1 in Versafine Clair Black ink. 

I added some more Picked Raspberry ink through the dinkable over the background and set aside.

On a scrap of mixed media paper I stamped the largest Dandedaisy in black ink and cut it out. 

I smooshed the flower with the purple and pink ink, then added a few spots of Mustard Seed to the centre using a paint brush

I matted and layered the background onto a 6x6 card blank, adding the flower using foam pads and a wordy sticker for a sentiment

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

Distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Mustard seed and Wilted Violet

Versafine Clair black ink

Journaling essentials #1 stamp set

Dinkables set 3

Dandedaisy stamp set

Wordy stickers 1B

6x6 blank card

Black paper for matting and layering

Smooth white card stock

The blending brushes I used for this are new ones. I have to say I am very impressed with them so far. Thanks for looking! 

More Bees!

 

Hi There! For today's blog post I thought I would show you how I made this clean and simple single layer card using the new Bee Mine stamp set. 

I began by using stencil tape to mask off the top and bottom of a 13cm square ivory card. I blended mermaid lagoon ink at the top of the unmasked strip, and twisted citron at the bottom.

I used one of the stamps from the sketchy flowers set and stamped it in Versafine clair Verdant across the panel

I used colouring pencils tocolour in the flowers and leaves.

Next I removed the masking tape and stamped two of the smallest bees in versafine clair nocturne. I coloured with gelly roll moonlight pens and a pale blue colouring pencil. 

Finally I added a sticker sentiment and a dotted line under each bee with a black micron pen.

I used 

13cm square ivory card

Stamp and stencil tape

Sketchy flowers stamp set

Bee mine stamp set

Versafine clair ink in nocturne and verdant

Distress oxide ink in mermaid lagoon and twisted citron

Hot colours tag

 

Hi there! Thought I would use hot colours for my blog post today...well, my uncharted mariner arrived so a teeny bit of that crept in too 😁

I began by spraying a tag with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Oxide sprays.

When this was dry I placed the Fernando Big one over the top and sprayed Festive Berries Distress Oxide spray over it. 

I used the little brickwork D'inkable to add a little Uncharted Mariner, adding a bit more around the edge of the tag with a sponge. 

I stamped a few Doodle Art mandalas onto the background in Picked Raspberry Distress oxide. 

on a piece of watercolour paper I stamped Bev with Versafine Clair black ink.

I used ecolines to colour her then cut her out.

I stuck her to the background using ultra thick gel medium and added a sentiment from the Bigger back chat set two stickers. 

Here is the finished tag with a ribbon added. 

I used:

Size 10 Dina Wakely tag

Distress Oxide sprays in Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and Festive Berries

Fernando inkable - big one

 Distress oxide inks in picked Raspberry and Unchartered Mariner 

D'inkables set 2
