Honey Bee Stamps "Happy BEE-Day Release" Blog Hop Day 1

Hello!  I'm so glad to be a part of the Happy 4th BEE-day Blog Hop showing the fabulous products in this new release!  Be sure to visit each stop to see the beautiful inspiration for this release.  Also, be sure to COMMENT below and on EVERY stop today for a chance to win an awesome Honey Bee Stamps prize pack.  It will include the Rainbow Wishes stamps, dies, enamel dots, paper pack (YES we have paper packs now!), enamel  dots and gem stickers!

The entire lineup for the Day 1 Hop is listed below.  You should have come from the awesome Nichol Spohr!

First up is a card I made just for this hop!



I used Rainbow Wishes stamps, Rainbow Wishes Honey Cuts, and Rainbow Wishes Stencils.  This was really quick, fun and easy to make!  I used some fine glitter paper and die cut the rainbow.  I used the chisel end of my Copic markers to color each layer of the rainbow.  I scribbled patches of each color onto the glitter paper and then die cut the tiny hearts included in the Rainbow Wishes Honey Cuts.  The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Everything was adhered to the panel that I stenciled the clouds in with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.



The following cards are ones that I've shared this week for each day of the sneak peeks that you may have missed.  I've listed the products used for each card with a direct link to shop at Honey Bee Stamps.  Just click and you will be there!
