My Favorite Place To Bee…

Good Morning All…

I am back again with another Heartfelt Inspiration using Sweet As Honey Collection. The bright and cheerful colors of this collection really made me happy. For today’s inspiration, I have used the honeycomb die as a stencil to create beautiful backgrounds for the card.

Instructions: The ready side fold card base measures 5 1/2″ by 7 1/2″. Cut a piece of watercolor paper measuring 5″ by 7″. Dab Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade on a craft sheet. Spritz them with water using a mini mister. Wet the watercolor paper and try painting a background using both the distress inks. Try building the layers of colors by heat setting in between all the layers. Once happy with the background, stamp the images from Blossoming Coneflower Cling Stamp Set using black archival ink.

Cut a background using Sweet as Honey Die on an acetate sheet. Use the background as a stencil and with the help of modeling paste, create some interest on the right-hand corner as shown. When wet, add Crystal Clear and heat set till dry. Add some black splatters with diluted black gesso for an extra interest.

On a smooth white cardstock, stamp few images of coneflowers and honey bees with black archival ink and cut them using their coordinating dies. Paint all the images using Zig Clean Clear Markers. Once all the elements are ready, layer all the images as shown and complete the card using a fussy cut sentiment from paper collection.
