and
What fun to pull out new things that you haven’t played with before.
In this case it was dies I received for Christmas.
The base card is black card stock with a layer of water color paper that I watercolored with Distress mustard seed and fossilized amber inks.
Using the hints from Jenifer McGuire’s video...
I was able to leave a space for the stamping on the kraft card stock.
For the die I used Honey Bee Stamps “Hexagon CP:Top Layer”.
For the sentiment I used Honey Bee Stamps “Winter (Buzz Words)” and “You’re A Classic” sets with Memento tuxedo black ink.
To finish I added the bee made of scraps from the water color background and black card stock which I die cut with Honey Bee Stamps “Honey Bee (paper piecing) dies.
A beautiful watercolor background, Arlene! Love the partial die cut honey comb and that sweet bee! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
