Clare DT - Winged Things

Good morning bloggers I'm back with my weekly Bee Crafty spot and this week I have brought with me something new from the Bee Crafty collection. Winged Things are a flock of feathery friends, some of which come with an extra branch stamp for you to perch them neatly on to your cards.

 

 

For this card I used:

Doodle birds crowned

Inkables template Brick wall

Brushos

Dreams come true (the ' Wake Up' part)

Mica powder

Treasured gold

Texture paste (aka polyfiller)

 

 

To make this card I started off by putting my texture paste through the brick wall stencil and set aside to dry. Once dry I carefully painted the brick wall with watered down selection of brushos, I placed the stencil back on so that it left the gaps between the bricks clean.

I stamped and heat embossed the bird and painted with mica powders from my stash. I stamped 'wake up' from the Dreams come true stamp, very apt when you consider these summer mornings and the birds start there morning song at first light. The flowers were stamped from the branch which is included in this set. They were also heat embossed, painted with mica powders and finally cut out and put on to the wall.

 

Last off all I carefully rubbed some Treasured Gold onto the brick wall.

 

Thank you for stopping by today. I love to hear your comments. Have a lovely sunny weekend wherever you may be.

Clare DT - Beautanicals Teasels and Brusho

Happy weekend Bloggers. I'm back once again with my Bee Crafty spot. You really should head over to the online shop. There are some fabulous new images that have been released over the last couple of weeks, some of which fell into my basket and I hope to show you all very soon.

 

This week I have used one of my favourite stamps, the Beautanicals Teasels along with Brushos.

For this project I used:

Beautanicals Teasels

Joy is a flower - small

Brushos - purple

Embossing powder - White

 

 

This was a very simple card to make. I sprinkled the brushos and spritzed with water and let it dry. After that I stamped the teasels in watermark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I finally stamped the sentiment in black ink and mounted onto card.

 

 

Have a lovely wekend folks, I've got a couple of paintings to start and of course I shall be playing with my new Bee Crafty stash. I love to hear your comments. I really appreciate the lovely comments that you leave. If you would like to follow you can use one of the links at the top of the page.

Clare DT-Joy is a flower

Hurrah it is the the weekend which can only mean one thing, it's my turn to log for Bee Crafty! There has been some lovely new stamps released over the past couple of weeks i will certainly be visiting to have a look later. Click here and it will transport you to an abundance of beautiful stamps, distress inks and the much sought after Dylusion paints.

Here is my crafty make for this week. I have been using quite a few bold prints and patterns lately so i decided to opt for something a little more delicate this week.

 

For this card I used:

Wordage - joy is a flower

Beautanicals - Teasels

Beautanicals - ferns

Inkables templates - Alternative circles

Distress inks

Liquid pearls

 

To make this card I light blended spun sugar onto a piece of card that had a section masked off. With the inkables template I added some worn lipstick through. With the mask still in place I stamped around with the fern and then stamped the teasels using a smokey grey ink.

I removed the mask and in the clean area I stamped the teasels once again along with the sentiment. I added some liquid pearls to frame the clean and simple area of the card.

 

 

Thank you coming to visit me today. Feel free to leave a comment below. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. If the weather promises to do what it says it looks as though it might be the perfect conditions for crafting.

 

Happy crafting,

Clare DT - Greatness Girl and distressed stars

It's the weekend, which allows most of us to kick back and allow ourselves some crafty time. Being off school this week I have been fortunate enough to have lots of creative time.

I'm here today with my Bee Crafty blog for this week. This weeks blog has a bit of an American theme.

 

 

For this card I used:

Banksy inspired Greatness Girl

Backdrop borders Distressed stars

Dylusions ink London blue

Dylusions Paint Post box red

Embossing powder

To make this card I brushed some post box red paint to make the stripes. Once dried I sprayed the top of the card with London blue ink and let it run down the middle of the card.

After it had dried completely i was able to stamp the image and the border then heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Got lots of ideas rumbling around in the old grey matter but I'm back to work on Monday so i guess i'd better jot them down for a later date or I may just sneek a final few crafty hours before monday.

 

Crafty hugs,

Gelli plate and Dylusion paints & Dina Wakely stamps

Hello everyone, I've had the gelli plate out this week and thought i would share with you a couple of cards that I made using Dylusion paints. It was great, messy fun and I know it won't be long until it has an outing again.

 

 

The paint colours used are Bubblegum pink, Lemon zest and Vibrant turquoise. I tore some circles out of scrap paper and went about layering the paint and arraning the circles each time i printed.

 

I made sure that I had plenty of card handy to catch the ghost prints. I managed to get quite a few backgrounds some of which I will blog soon.

 

The above card was a ghost print. I forgot to remove one of the circles (doh) in the top left corner, but saying that I quite liked it and decided to use it for a card.

 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I love to here your comments, you can leave you feedback below.

 

Happy crafting,

No cards, no stamps, just paint and some inspiration.

Happy bank holiday everyone! Well it turned out beautiful again today. I have taken full advantage of the beautiful weather today and my line was full of washing, flapping gently in the breeze. Finding myself home alone I shamefully abandoned the glorious weather and succumbed to the little voice in my head whispering " Craft Room".

 

I absolutely adore the artist Yvonne Coomber. Her paintings are stunning and have inspired me to create my own little version.

 

 

 

I haven't painted on a canvas this time, Hubby often hands me off cuts of MDF that I like to paint and sometimes stamp and stencil on. First I put on a coat of gesso and then watered down some acylics to make a wash.

 

Now the messy part! Lots and lots of splattering, my hands are now various shades of green, purple and red now! Better not pick in the white washing at this stage.

 

 

The next stage took a very long time. Dabbing on my chosen colours with cotton buds. I can tell you now that I can still see spots before my eyes.

 

 

I know this isn't exactly a card, stamps or inks so thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. You can follow by clicking the above link or comment below.

 

Crafty hugs,
