Hi
Friends!
Today
we are celebrating the July Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Release and this Mixed Media card was designed
with the new Sweet
As Honey stamp set.
I just love the bee image with the honeycomb as well as the sentiments and verses that Korin
Sutherland designed for this set! They are perfect for cards, home décor as well as bible art journaling!
I
incorporated the Splitcoaststampers SC645 Sketch Challenge along with the DeepOcean #158 “Lots of Layers” Challenge and the Simon Wednesday “Summer Sunshine”Challenge (to me, the bright sunny colors and of course, bees are definitely part of summer sunshine :-)) into the design.
Again,
if you have not had a chance to visit the challenge sites or SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Using distress stains (Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade) tap onto a
craft mat, spritz with water and lay two pieces of white cardstock into the
ink. Lift up and continue to add layers
of ink, drying with a heat tool between layers.
2).
Once you are satisfied with the results, ink the honeycomb image from Sweet As Honey with wild honey distress stain and stamp onto one of the background panels. Add diluted white acrylic paint with a paint
brush (as needed) to tone down some of the color. Distress the edges and mount onto a piece of
black cardstock. Add the crochet lace and gingham ribbon to the panel (wrap the
edges of the ribbon behind the panel) and mount the entire panel onto the white
card base.
3).
On the second background piece, trim the panel, distress the edges using a
tearing tool and your finger before stamping the honeycomb image from Sweet As Honey with hickory smoke distress ink. Mount onto a piece
of black cardstock and adhere the panel to the card front with dimensional
foam.
4).
Ink the sentiment and bees from Sweet As Honey with archival black ink, stamp onto a piece of white
cardstock, and heat set with a heat tool (to speed up the drying process). Color
the bees with a honey marker, fussy cut and add shimmer to the wings with a
clear glitter pen.
5).
Die cut the sentiment with a stitched oval die, use a sponge dauber to apply wild honey distress stain to the edges and stamp the honeycomb image with Wild
Honey distress stain as well (stamp the honeycomb off onto scrap paper before
adding to the sentiment).
6).
Mount the sentiment and bees to the card front along with a few rhinestones to
finish off the card.
Thanks
again for stopping by- hugs and I hope
all of you have a wonderful weekend!
