Hi
Friends!
I
am still working on creating cards with some of my older stamp sets and this
card includes the retired Stampin’ Up! sets- Betsy the Beekeeper and Timeless
Textures along with the current Words of Encouragement stamp set from Simply Stamps.
I
heat embossed the Betsy the Beekeeper image and water-colored the image with clean
color markers. After die-cutting the
image with a stitched rectangle die, I used a honeycomb stencil and a texture
stamp with oxide inks. The texture stamps
were heat embossed with clear embossing powder and the layers were mounted onto
black cardstock.
The
card was finished off with a clear glitter pen, gold cord and rhinestones.
I
incorporated the Try Stampin On Tuesday #421 Sketch Challenge along with the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #117 “Anything Goes” Challenge (Betsy the Beekeeper is over ten years old) and The House That Stamps Built #A1419 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (bottom row across- Bright Colors, Food,
Dimension).
If
you have not had a chance to stop by the above challenge sites, I encourage you
to do so- fabulous galleries and inspiration from all!
