Hello my friends! Today my card is featuring the new Honey Bee Stamps' Honey awesome Honey Jar Paper Piecing die set! I also tried out Honey Bee's new No-line Coloring ink (and I love it) for my stamped images. Read on for the details!
First I created my card base by die cutting three shades of teal card stock with the Hexagon Cover Plate dies. (These are available as a set, or individually.) I used Bee Creative glue to adhere them together and then I glued the stack to a light teal panel. Next I glued this to a top-folding A2 card base. I love how these dies easily create a stunning card base!
My next step was to die cut the Honey Jar Paper Piecing dies from 80# white Neenah Solar White card stock. To make coloring them easier, I put the pieces back into the negative space and held them with some purple tape on the back. For the jar and honey drips I used Copic markers in these colors: Y19, Y18, Y15, and Y13. I shaded the honey jar lid with C2, C0 and C00.
Next I stamped the flowers, leaves, and bees in the NEW Bee Creative No-Line Coloring ink by Honey Bee Stamps. These are in the Chin Up Buttercup and the Busy Bees stamp sets. I colored the leaves with YG67, YG17, and YG23. I shaded the flowers with the "C" markers listed previously. The bees are colored with the same yellows as the honey jar. Next I used a Micron .05 black pen to add the eyes and antenna to the bees.
When I finished my coloring I used the coordinating Busy Bees and Chin Up Buttercup dies to cut out the images. I popped up the honey jar with foam tape and arranged the flowers around the jar. I also popped up a couple of the bees. To finish up I stamped the sentiment from the Just Bee-cause stamp set and die cut it with the coordinating die.
I really do like Honey Bee's no-line coloring ink! What I really like is the particular shade of the ink and that I did not have to stamp it more than once in order to see it! Definitely at the top of the list for me!
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are having a wonderful, and crafty, week!
