Dandelion Silhouette

Hi Everyone,

 

This is a my first project for Crafty Genius and I really hope you like it

 

 

This is an A5 Card that I made when I was playing with my dylusions.

 

Using the London Fog and Crushed Grape I spritzed onto Hammer White Card to create a background and then rolled with kitchen roll.

 

I cut the card to size

 

 

I then stamped using the BEAUtanicals dandelion, and then stamped the loose dandelion seeds several more times using Black Soot Distress Ink. When  it was dry I then highlighted with a white inkssentials pen.

 

I then layered the section onto black and then purple standard cardstock.

 

I put that to one side and got a white piece of cardstock and then embossed with the Inkables Offset Dots using my big shot and then cut and layered onto the same purple cardstock.

 

I stuck the embossed layer onto the card using double sided tape keep it flush, and stuck the stamped layer on using double sided foam to add dimension.

 

I love this card as I was a centre stamp and lots of layers and blooms etcetera kind of card maker and it's lovely to do something different.

 

Thanks for Looking I hope you like it.

Hi from Bev!

Good Morning Bloggers

 

My name is Bev and I run Bee Crafty in Bidford on Avon, Warwickshire with my mum Julie.

 

 

 

I am 30 years old, married to Dave and have two gorgeous girls Abi who is 5 and Kaitlyn who is just coming up on her first birthday (July).

 

I've always done something crafting usually stamping, I used to get lots of crafty presents for Christmas etc., and mum had an accident and 3 discs fused in her back which meant she had limited mobility some days ,so she started cross-stitching and after that she basically nicked my card making stash to start making cards for her cross stitch , which she then started selling, after that everything kind of snowballed and mum was being asked to source products for other people and in 2001/2 Bee Crafty was born. I was just starting Uni in Plymouth at this time and graduated in 2004 with a Bachelors Degree in Biological Science.

 

I worked in call centres whilst I was searching for a science job,  and, I came home one day and asked mum if I could have a go at building her a website, I also offered to do her paper work so she snapped me up, that was 8 years ago February just gone, lots has changed but I still LOVE what I do.

 

Last year we started designing and making our own stamps and now have lots of ranges which are always growing as I can't stop thinking about NEW additions, I do have a small range based on my girls called "Abi Grace & Kaitie Mai" and I'm just working on some new designs for those, as well as don't shout NEW Christmas.

 

Stamping is probably my favourite thing to do, it's just so versatile with the results you can achieve, and you can use it on all papercraft projects. I make cards, twinchies, ATC's, 3D projects, scrapbook pages, whatever really takes my fancy, my main problem is usually getting my ideas from brain to reality, but if in doubt grab some Distress or Dylusions and everything will be okay :)

 

So I think that's me really, can't wait to start crafting for Sam's New Blog too :)
