Bee Crafty Saturday.......

Hi everyone, another quick post today, as we're heading off for a few days and I still have tons to do.....Just wanted to show you a couple of Christmas cards made for the recent BEE CRAFTY show on Hochanda.
All cardstock is from Papermilldirect, except the gold Mirri card.

 This was was created with the circle 'Inkables' and the small stamp from the new Yuletide set - Holly Swirl Tree & Borders. I used a Kaleidacolor inkpad so the leaves would be varigated. The sentiment is from the Yuletide Wordage set

I wanted this one to be elegant.....so kept to black and gold. Same set of stamps, but I heat-embossed the image and sentiment. I didn't add any embellishments as I don't think it needed anything.

Hope you like them.....lots more to come over the next few days.

Would love to read some comments if you have time to leave one.

Happy weekend,

Barbara.

Saturday is Bee Crafty Day...!

Morning, happy weekend to you all.....I'm back with my Saturday inspiration for 

BEE CRAFTY

 This is an old card, sorry.....  I've been busy all week with new designs using the next release of Christmas stamps which will be on Hochanda, Aug. 18th.....and there's only so many hours in a day, unfortunately. (I could do with about 50 hours per day at the moment ;-) )

Anyway here is my card :-

I water-coloured the background with Distress inks then used the following stamps,

Inspired by Banksy - Hope - (small)

Backdrop borders - Distressed Stars

Wordage - Definition Girl

The topper was matted onto black, then onto a white linen base card, both from

PAPERMILLDIRECT

Keep a lookout for Beverley, Aug. 18th on Hochanda for the new stamps (and more! ).....I can guarantee you'll love them!!

Catch you soon,

Saturday is here again......

Morning everyone, today is my Chippenham workshop, so this is a very quick post....I'm still on a 'high' from my birthday yesterday, I had such a wonderful day....LIFE IS GOOD! 

Anyway, here is my weekend post for

 BEE CRAFTY

I've used the Octagon Inkable frame - HERE 

After inking both the positive & negative parts, I stamped three of my favourite Bee Crafty stamps, Ground Elder,  Ferns and Branches - HERE 

 A sentiment from the BEAUtanicals range, a few sequins and I was done.

Hope you like it.
