Bee Crafty samples from MDF Day

 Here are my samples from the Get to Know Bee Crafty MDF day on Thursday 20th Oct. 

Small canvas board - using elements from the Seaside set - painted the board with Dylusions paints, stamped black gesso using the seaweed and dark blue paint with the netting piece, drew around the fish pieces before painting them and fixing them on with pva glue. As fish are said to have very short memories, added the "Are you new here?" Wordy sticker.

Bee Crafty - Bargello Butterfly

 Can't quite concentrate at the moment so I've gone  with a technique post this week. Bargello paper quilting with a few of the larger shimmery pieces in my fodder box. This traditional quilting technique has been around for a while and I have seen different paper versions by Julia Watts and SplitCoastStampers. The repetitive measuring, cutting & sticking is a very mindful process and a lovely way of using up your scraps

Bee Crafty - I'm Here For You

Bee Crafty - Be Strong Journal Page

 This week I'm sharing a colourful patchwork page on my little white journal. Started off in a rather solemn mood but after getting my paints out and listening to a bit of Rammstein, I'm feeling much jollier.

Bev and Sam have been showing us how we can use the printed acetates from the stamp packaging recently. The stamps can be stored on the laminated sheet so the printed acetate is spare!.
