Cleverprints Brave Rose

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Cleverprints Brave Rose stamp set.
Smoosh twisted citron distress oxide onto a piece of acetate and spritz lightly with water. Touch the inky acetate over the page. Dry with a heat tool. Repeat with candied apple distrsss oxide.
Using the border from the stamp set, with candied apple distress oxide add three horizontal images across the page and two vertically. Using the scribbled words from textures stamp set two, add more detail using twisted citron distress oxide. Arrange the double and single paint splatz on an acrylic block and using pumice stone distress ink, add more detail to the background.

On a seperate piece of card and also on the page stamp the rose using versafine clair ink. 

Colour (I used Karin Brushmarkers and a waterbrush), then cut out and glue to the page. Stamp the sentiment directly onto the page, using Versafine Clair nocturne. Add white highlights using a gel pen.

Bee Crafty - Nibs and Inkwell

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a page in my small white Dina Wakely Media journal.

Begin by smooshing salty ocean distress oxide onto a piece of acetate. Spritz lightly with water, then dab on to a blank page. Dry thoroughly.

Repeat with Villainous Potion and Candied Apple distress oxide. Dry between colours.

Tear a length of tape off the formulas and graphs washi. Tear this strip in half and apply vertically to the page with the two straight edges touching. Use collage medium to stick it down, so it remains in place.

Using Versafine Clair nocturne ink stamp the distressed dots border horizontally across the middle of the page.

Using the ledger stamp with black ink and your fingers, rather than an acryluc blick, add it centrally on the page. Don't over inkit, as it needs to fade into the background and doesn't need to be a clear print. Then without reinking stamp it in the top left and bottom right corner.

On a seperate piece of card stamp the nibs and inkwell using black ink. Cut them out.

Glue them across the centre of the page. Use a ruler to keep them steaight.

Stamp your chosen sentiment. Cut out and glue to the page.

Cleverprint Under the Sea

Hi everyone today I'm sharing some inspiration using the Jellyfish stamp set from Cleverprints Under the Sea collection.
Take a piece of mixed media card and place it in a stamp platform. Ink the top part of the  jellyfish stamp with Villainous Potion distress oxide and the tentacles with Picked Raspberry distress oxide. Stamp onto the card and spritz with water. Leave to dry naturally. Do not take it out of the stamp platform.

Restamp the jellyfish and a sentiment using Versafine Clair Fantasia ink.

Colour the spots with brushmarkers in lilac and cerise. Cut out the jellyfish, then add glossy accents to the larger ones. Add wink of stella to the tentacles to give them sparkle. Leave to completely dry. 

Choose a background from the paper pack. I used one of the A5 pieces, so I cut the white edges off and inked the cut edges with the Versafine Clair Fantasia. I glued this to an A5 card blank.

Glue the jellyfish to the card at an angle. Only add glue to the top part, this allows the tentacles to appear like they are moving. Cut out the sentiment and ink the edges in the same coloured ink as the main piece. Glue to the card.
