Honey Bee Stamps All Things New

 

Hello all!  Today I am up on the ScrapbookPal Blog with this really sweet card that I created with Honey Bee Stamps new All Things New Stamp and Coordinating Die Set.  This card turned out so pretty and I am very excited to share the process with you.  Hop on over to Scrapbook Pal to get all the things to make it!!

 I usually start my cards with the background, but I wasn’t sure what colors my butterflies were going to be, so I waited.

I kept the coloring of the butterflies really simple, so they are very quick to color.  I used Copic markers in the following colors:

• Orange – YR02, YR65, E97
• Yellow – Y32, YR21, YR12
• Turquoise – BG01, BG45, BG07
• Pink – R83, RV34, R56
• Purple – V05, RV66, V06
• Blue – B21, B34, B45

Once I had them colored, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

To create the background for the card, I used the  Honey Bee Stamps, Barn Wood Planks Die.  I love this set, not only does it cut but it also embosses.  I also like that it is planks rather than I full woodgrain background.  Each plank has its own pattern.  I cut my planks from a very light gray cardstock.  I added a little bit of Weathered Wood Distress Ink Oxide. 

I glued six planks on a piece of white cardstock, using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue, that was cut to 4.25” x 5.5”.  I trimmed it down to 4” x 5.35” and glued it to a piece of lilac cardstock that had been cut to 4.00” x 5.25”.

I used the sentiment that comes with the stamp set.  I heat embossed it on a piece of lilac cardstock with Lawn Fawn’s White Embossing Powder. I used Versamark Watermark Ink Pad. 

This would be a great card for change the sentiments for different occasions don’t you think?

 Everything that is on this card is available for purchase at Scrapbookpal.com. 

Thank you so much for  stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
