Bee Crafty DT - FASHIONette Mary - Happy Birthday

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

Another FASHIONette make from me today, this time it's MARY I adore these pretty/girly stamps they are so much fun to colour up using any medium but Fave of course are Alcohol Markers

Products I used that are available over at Bee Crafty's shop...

FASHIONette - Mary

Inkables - Circle Easy Frame Template

Backdrop Border - Spatter Swirl

WORDage - Happy Birthday/With Love

Distress Inks - Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves

Ink Blending Tool

I used a masking technique for this project. I stamped Mary first onto super smooth cardstock using light grey ink and then again onto masking paper (large post-its could also be used). I cut round Mary on the masking paper and fixed over the stamped image on the super smooth cardstock so I could ink a circle over her but leaving her completely blank. I used Distress Ink pads and my Inkables Circle Easy Frame Template for this. 

Leaving the Mask in place I then Stamped the Splatter Swirl stamp around the sides in grey ink and then inked lightly over the edges using black ink. I also inked a few spotty areas using Seedless Preserves distress ink and a small circle pattern template.

I pulled back the Mask to reveal my still clean stamped image of Mary, who I then coloured using my Alchohol Markers. Where I had stamped her in light grey ink the lines are softer and almost disappear when using Markers over it (I love this effect) - I drew over her Eyelashes with a fine Black Drawing Pen to make them stand out.

I added some gems and a Sentiment to finish
