A very quick and simple card whilst moving back in to the craft room!

 

Hi There! Hope you haven't melted with the heat! I am here with a super quick card for you today, that I inked once it had cooled down a bit last night.  

I began by taping the mandala to a 5x5" white card blank and blending a rainbow of distress inks through. 

Next I removed the inkable and stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair black ink.

I also stamped the heart border and used ecolines to colour the hearts. I told you it was a quick one.

Here's the finished card again. Told you it was super quick! 

I used:

Inkables mandala 2

Life and Rain sentiment stamp

Journaling Girls Borders #1

Distress inks in fired brick, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, twisted citron, peacock feathers, prize ribbon and villainous potion

Black versafine clair ink

Ecoline pens

This was the state of the craft room yesterday morning when it was still quite neat. Nothing seems to be going back as planned lol. It seems to have expanded in the past week! Hopefully it will all be sorted by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck! 
Thanks for looking! 

Busy as a Bee!

Hi there! I am here with a quick and simple card for you today. Here is how I made it.

I began by blending distress oxide ink through the inkable.
 

Next I stamped some of the honeycomb stamp from the XL Doodle Art Bee set  in the same ink. I also stamped the border in brown Versafine Clair ink. 

I took a piece of watercolour paper and stamped the largest bee in black versafine ink

I coloured it with ecoline pens and cut it out, using a waterbrush to blend the colours on the wings

I attached it to the card using 3d glue and coloured the border. I had left a little fingerprint so disguised it by adding the splatters from the regular sunflower set in vintage photo distress ink. I also stamped 4 flowers from the sunflower set, coloured with moonlight gelly roll pens and a water brush, and added them at the corners. A few more highlights with the gelly roll pens on the bee, plus a sentiment finished it off. 

I used:

Honeycombe multi inkable 

XL Doodle art Bee set (This is discontinued, but the regular is available here)

Doodle Art Sunflower set

Wild Honey distress oxide ink

Black and Brown Versafine Clair ink

Ecoline pens

Gelly Roll Moonlight pens

I am currently busy moving everything out of my craft room as it is being replastered, starting on Monday. It will be out of action for at least a week. I am intending to reward myself with a trip to Stamp Magic a week tomorrow though, lol. Well, a girl needs some incentive 😂 Are you going? It would be lovely to see some familiar faces. 

Thanks for looking! 

New Woodware stamps

I bought these Francoise Read Woodware stamps a little while ago and forgot I hadn't blogged any cards with them. These two were very quick makes. I had the backgrounds ready smooshed with Distress oxides, so all that was needed was stamping with Versafine Clair and a few spots of liquid pearls and glaze. The stencil on the second is from Woodware too.

I am so enjoying myself at my craft table. I will share some more with you very soon. Thanks for looking!
