Distress Background Journaling Girl Card

  Hello!

This week in my Facebook live I was using distress inks to create backgrounds for cards, so I decided to carry on with the theme...

1) First I used my blending brush with Kitsch Flamingo and Squeezed Lemonade on a piece of mixed media card...

2) Using the same two colours plus Carved Pumpkin I added some stenciling with one of the d'inkables from set 10 and also the circles, one layer at a time...

3) Next I used the same inkpads to add some stamping from the Journaling Girls Sam set.  Once I had added the coloured ink I also added some stamping with the black Hero Arts ink pad...

4) After that  I stamped the girl from the set, cut out and coloured with Ecoline markers...

5) Finally the card was put together with a black layer...

Here are links to the products used:

* Distress Ink Pads

* Hero Arts Black Ink Pad

* Ecoline Brush Markers

* D'inkable Set 10

* Circles D'Inkable 

* Journaling Girls Sam Stamp Set

Bloom Layered Card

  Hello!

This week on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a card that I made by layering up stencils and stamps...

1) First I created some colour on a piece of water colour card using distress inks (Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron).  I applied the inks with a brush then splattered with water to create a distressed look...

2) Using the same ink colours I added stenciling with the circles d'inkable and flower from d'inkables set 10...

3) Next I used a white pen to add doodling around the circles...

4) With archival ink I then stamped the main flower and one of the leaves from the 'Just Bloom' set and then added some of the circles from the 'Journaling Blocks' set...

5) To colour the flowers and leaves I used ecoline brush markers and added white highlights...

6) For highlighting the circles I used white gesso, then went over the stamped elements with a black fineliner to refresh the lines...

7) As a finishing touch I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto black card and heat embossed with white powder...

'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
