Cards - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have two cards to share with you made using the Destination Anywhere collection from Bee Arty. I love this collection, it is perfect for masculine projects and family layouts!
 
  
 I started by creating 2 diecuts, using heavyweight 350gsm white cardstock, of the Grungy Filmstrip frame die for the front of my cards.

I then painted Rust Colour Artist Ink on one frame and Walnut Colour Artist ink on the other. I painted with a brush to give a mottled effect using a more concentrated ink in places and more watered down in other places.
 

 
Here are my finished cards.
 
 
 Here is a close up of the first card "Keep Calm and Travel On". My card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Rust ink. I die cut 2 of the planes using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted a Rust Artist ink coloured stripe along the side to coordinate with the card colours and to tone down the stark white. I cut one of the planes in half and adhered them to the card as shown. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and around the title I added a strip offcut from a Grungy Filmstrip diecut (these negative strips are as fun to use as the positive cuts). Lastly I added some hessian trim and black sewing thread.

 
The next card is called "Sightseeing". Once again the card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Walnut ink. I die cut 1 of the Combi-Van's using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted an Olive Grove Mica Powder stripe along the side. I adhered it to the card as shown and attached 2 vintage brads to the wheels. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and adhered it over some hessian trim, a chipboard offcut, and black sewing thread.
