Colourific is going to Hochanda

Hello everyone

and welcome to my blog.

A very exciting post for me to share today.
COLOURIFIC IS GOING TO HOCHANDA
Im so excited to see Annelies and my teamie Alice demoing, and sharing with you all, the amazing stamps from Colourific.
They will be on Hochanda on Sunday 26th of January at 12 noon. 

Dont miss it :-)

(The new stamps wont be in the Colourific store till after the show, but do pop over and check out all the other amazing stams)

But let me share with you one of the samples Ive made for the show.
The stamps are amazing.

This one is a journal page and I used a couple of the new stamps sets for it. 

I used:

• A5 Zen Ladies B
• A6 Whispering Hearts
  
  I also used 
• Jornal page
• Distress inks
• Distress Sprays
• Distress Crayons
• Tim holtz Stencils
• Clear paste
• Mister with water
• Diecut Sentiment
• Gilding wax
• Archival black ink pad & stamping blocks

I started by making my background. There isnt much rhyme or reason to it really. A few sprays here, a bit of crayon through a stancil there. A bit of water here and there..
Its why I love making journal pages. I really just have fun with the colours.

I added the clear paste through a stencil to get the measuring tapes done and left that to dry. Once dry I stamped my Zen lady and added my hearts.

My hearts are from the Whispering Hearts stamp set. I simply stamped them onto scrap pieces of card, coloured with distress ink and cut them out.

I finished the project with a diecut greeting from my stash and a bit of guilding wax here and there.

And that is all from me for today.

BeeCrafty Heraldic samples

Hey guys..

Its once again wednesday and my turn to share some inspiration for BeeCrafty..
Today I want to share the samples I made for Bev's recent show live from the NEC.
Did you go to the NEC?? Was it amazing?? I have never been to the NEC but its a dream of mine.. Maybe when my kids gets a bit older?

Anyway, samples... Sadly, mine didnt make it to the screen. Stamps landed with me in Ireland too late so even though samples was made same day as I recieved the stamps, there wasnt enough time to get them returned in time.. It happens, post here in Ireland can be a bit of a.. challenge.. lol

But.. I still loved making my samples and although I already shared them on my facebook and in the BeeCrafty Facebook Group, I still wanted to share them here with a few words on how I made them.

 This one is very simple, its just distress ink with stamping and black heat embossing. I made the wee banner with the alphabet and more distress ink. I finished with a few water splashes.

 

 This one is a wee bit hard to show off. Basically I made the card with distress ink and stamped the wee crowns and used the alphabet to stamp "BeeCrafty". I then made an accetate overlay that matched the card size (I folded a wee sliver to attatch it on the back, so it folds around the card), I stamped the helmet with archival ink onto the accetate (please not it takes quite sometime to fully dry) and once fully dry, attached it to the card.

This one is all about the Lustre Luxe.. I coloured the art board with the Golden Gate Lustre Luxe and I used the Honey Pearl Lustre Luxe through the Shattered Glass Dinkable. I put more Golden Gate Lustre Luxe through the Feather Dinkable.

I then stamped my Heraldic images on to white card and fuzzy cut them. I then used the Moon Stone Lustre Luxe as a gilding wax and added, with my finger tip, a wee bit over the images.
I added the images with silicone glue to add a bit of dimention.

 This one is my favorite I think. I come from Denmark and have always been a royalist and very proud of our royal family. This set of stamps just scream "royal" at me hence how this card came together.

Its a simple matter of distress ink, water splashed and stamping. And I just finished with a few gems.

 This one is a play on a tecnique I have done several times now. I have a YOUTUBE HERE on how I make it. The strips are coloured with Lustre Luxe and I stamped with archival.
You need a permenant ink to stamp on the Lustre Luxe.

And then this one.. Last one.. Again image screams royal lol.. Its made a s the blue royal one above, simple distress ink, heat embossed with black and water splashes. I used purple as this too is a very royal colour. A greeting could always be added later if needed.

And that is it for today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Wednesday Post for BeeCrafty - Mixed Media

Hi Bloggers..

Time to share my weekly post for BeeCrafty.
Today I had a play with Mixed Media. Its not something I do very often, but something I would really love to get the hang off. So what better way to get the hang of something then to mix it with your favorite stamps ;-)

For today I used only a small stamp. The Butterflies..
They may be "small, but they are the perfect size to add accents to your projects.
There are 4 different sets of butterflies and you can find them all in the STORE, HERE.

I honestly couldnet really tell you how I made the mixed media piece.. Its something I have worked on from time to time until I was happy with it.
There is modgepodge on it, stones, gauge, paints, gelatoes, string and who knows what else lol

The butterflies however.. I remember how I made them lol..~I stamped them with black Archival onto a 300g white card stock. I chose the thick card so they will stay solid. I fuzzy cut them and added gelatoes to them. I added a wee bit of guilding wax over the gelato to give them extra shimmer and stuck them unto my piece with glue gel.

And that is all from me for today.
