Thankful Blooms Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday! 

Thought I would start off the week with a colorful creation. I've been wanting to play with the Beautiful Blooms Stamp set for a while and finally this weekend I did. 

Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes I get intimidated by coloring large images, especially when I don't have the time I need. So when I do I try to think of different ways to add color to them. Ink blending is definitely my favorite way of adding color images, and with a stencil, it makes things even easier! Love how this no-line coloring ink blended Slimline Friendship card turned out and hope you do too! 

CARD RECIPE

• Position the large floral stamp from the Beautiful Blooms in a full-size Misti.
• Using the Honey Bee No Line Ink, stamp the bottom half of a slimline panel until the image is visible enough to see the lines. Rotate the panel and repeat the image on the top side.

• Use the Beautiful Blooms Stencil to line up each layer with the stamped image and blend out the image using your favorite inks for blending.  My go-to inks are the Atelier inks from Inkon3. See the colors used in the supply list below.
• Once the ink blending was done, I then used a glue pen to add fine glitter to some of the floral details.
• To the center of the panel, I added the Thankful die-cut sentiment from the Bitty Buzzwords: Fall Dies.
• I then finished off the front by adding a few Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers for more sparkle.

• On the inside of the card, I completed the sentiment with a stamp from the Beautiful Blooms done in Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.

I hope you enjoyed this super simple make yet elegant Thankful Blooms Slimline Card. Let me know in the comments below what is your favorite way to add color to your images.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Lovely Layers Rainbow Rose | Valentine's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dear friends, and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, this is my first post for 2022 and of course, I had to start off with a Rainbow Rose inspiration🌹🌈😁

Today's card could be used for any occasion, but I did pair it with a "love you" sentiment from the new Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine to make it a valentine's Day Card. 

CARD RECIPE

To begin I die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Roses and then Ink Blended each layer of the petals using Atelier Inks from Inkon3, see thumbnails below.

For the petals, I first used Goddess Green Ink and then went back in with Trinity to darken some of the petals and stems.

I used foam tape to build up the petals of the rose, leaving the center free of foam so that I could add glue to it and pinch it together with reverse tweezers until the glue dried. This gives the rose some fan-like dimension. And, yes this does make the card super bulky. So this would be one card that would have to be hand-delivered or you'd have to put it in a "box of roses". This rose would also look amazing in a frame too! Check out my previous lovely layer frames HERE.

For the background, I used a few of the stencils from the Layered Lace Layering Stencils to add Moonstone Paste and create some glittery borders on the card front.

The "love you" stamp comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine set that was stamped on black cardstock using white ink and embossing PWD. It then was die cut using one of the smaller banners from the Sentiment Banner Dies.

To finish this beauty, I added some of my favorite sequins for even more sparkle and shine.

I hope I didn't disappoint you with this rainbow rose creation. I am absolutely in love with it and hope you are too!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
