Poppy Card for Bee Crafty

Hello!

Today on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a fairly quick card that I have made...

I started on a kraft card base, adding some white gesso through the Distressed Harlequin d'inkable...

After that I stamped the Large Poppy using versamark ink then heat embossed with white powder...

I wanted to add a bit more interest in the background so used parts of the Script stamp with sepia archival ink...

To colour the image I used ecoline waterbrush pens with added water...

Once I had matted the kraft card onto brown then a 7 x 5 kraft blank, I stamped out the sentiment from Everyday Sentiments 2 and letters from the Typewriter Alpha set and stuck these onto the main card...

Here are the products used:

* Beautanicals - Large Poppy
* Backgrounds, Textures & Borders - Script 
* Wordage - Everyday Sentiments 2
* Wordage - Typewriter Alpha
* D'Inkables - Distressed Harlequin

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Vintage Style Birthday Card for Bee Crafty

Hello!

Today on the blog I am sharing a photo step by step of how I created a birthday card for my dad...

I started by creating a background using distress inks (Antique Linen, Tea Dye & Vintage Photo).  Once I had blended it onto the card with ink brushes I splashed on water and then lifted it with kitchen roll...

Next I used the Metal Alpha and Chevrons d'inkables with the same inks...

Once this was dry I used an anti static bag across the piece then stamped the Light Bulb Circuit  using versamark before heat embossing with gold powder...

To make some areas stand out more I coloured them using the distress ink...

Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments 2 and the letters to spell out dad which were then punched out using a circle punch...

Here are the products used:

* D'inkables - Metal Alpha; Chevrons
* Art Stamps - XL Light Bulb Circuit
* Wordage Stamps - Everyday Sentiments 2
* Wordage Stamps - Typewriter Alpha
* Distress Inkpads

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
