Hello Crafty Friends, I hope your well, and crafting your way through this difficult. I am trying to work, with some colour theory at the moment. My favorite place to find, colour combinations at the moment is through Pinterest or Pattern Papers in my stash.    So after being inspired I came up with a beautiful masculine combination.     I love pulling inks from my collections and seeing how they work together.     Products   MFT You Float My Boat  https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/you-float-my-boat?_pos=1&_sid=0a6232f1a&_ss=r MFT All About Dad Die Namic's https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/die-namics-dad?_pos=1&_sid=92e1e6519&_ss=r   MFT All About Dad Stamps (optional) used for Happy...

Good Morning, How fantastic is the weather a the moment. I decided to pullout the distress pads, as I'm always pulling the oxides out but never the original. So I thought let go back to the basics. I know I've probably shown this technique before but I just love it as I'm not good at water colouring.      Products Concord and 9th Stuck On You Stamp Set https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/concord-9th/products/stuck-on-you A selection of Distress Ink pads ( I used Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, and Rusty Hinge. also Tea Dye Oxide for my sentiment tag) 4 1/2 x 6 "...

Here are just three of the techniques using them.      1) Background Stamping a pattern background.  2) Focus Using them to create a focal point.  3) Repetitive  use them more than just once repeating many times.    Products Friendly Hello Stamp Set by Concord & 9th https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/concord-9th/products/friendly-hello Gina K Inks Wild Dandelion,...

Well Welcome, I do hope your all well.  I have been having some fun and stepping out of my comfort zone. I'm very much a character stamper and alcohol marker girl.  So water-coloring, is not  my thing. But I love the look, and admire some of the greats out in this industry. But this technique is truly fall proof.        Products Concord & 9th Forever Flower Stamp Set https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/concord-9th/products/forever-flower Stamp Positioner Distress Oxides in  Combi 1 Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean Combi 2 Abandoned Coral & Aged Mahogany Combi 3 Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet Versamark ink pad...

Good morning Crafty friends, I hope you are all doing well. I found that my card making has kept me occupied, during this lock down period. I wanted to make a batch of cards to send out to love ones at this time. I wanted them to know we are thinking about them. Seeing as the rainbow is the symbol of hope, and is being used a lot during this pandemic I thought the set from Honey Bee Stamps was just what I was looking for. I need a quick and simple design to mass produce as I wanted about...
