Sending Love -- Inking and Stenciling Fun! | Honey Bee Stamps

 Hi crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring some Honey Bee Stamps stamps, dies and stencil set!  This card would be perfect for lots of occasions like Valentine's Day, a birthday, or just to show you care!

First I sprayed the back of one of the three Art Deco Patterns stencil with Pixie Spray to hold it in place on my white cardstock. Then I used a Detail Blending brush to add pink ink through the stencil in an ombré pattern. I left the stencil in place and spattered some white paint on the piece. I let that dry and then spattered some gold paint with my paint brush. I removed the stencil and set the piece aside to dry. When it was dry, I adhered it to a top folding card base.

To avoid coloring with my Copic markers over the gold heat embossing I used my MISTI to stamp the images from the Happy Plants stamp set with No Line Coloring ink. I left the stamps on the MISTI door while I colored the plant and the pot. Then I placed the paper back into the MISTI and re-stamped the images with Clear Embossing ink. I sprinkled on gold embossing powder and heat set it. Next I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I die cut some gold cardstock and white card stock with two of the Stacking Art Deco Labels dies. I adhered the gold one to the stenciled piece with Bee Creative glue. I added foam tape to the back of the white Art Deco Labels die cut and put it on top of the gold one.

I stamped the sentiment from the Rooting For You set with Clear Embossing ink, sprinkled on gold embossing powder, and heat set it. I used the coordinating Honey Cut to cut the sentiment out and also die cut it four more times from white cardstock. I adhered all of the die cuts with Bee Creative glue and then added it to my card with glue. To finish up, I added foam dots to the back of the flower pot and plant and adhered them to my card.

I sure hope I've given you some inspiration for your stencils and inking fun!  Thanks so very much for stopping by---I always appreciate you so much!
