Hello My Friend Featuring The New Bountiful Banner Stamps, Stencils, Dies

Hello my friends! Have you been enjoying all of the inspiration being shared for the awesome Honey Bee Stamps Heartfelt Harvest release? I have more inspiration for you today with this card featuring the Bountiful Banner stamps and coordinating stencils.

Before I get to the details of my card, I want to let you know about the fun Instagram Hop we are having today featuring lots of wonderful cards from the Team! You can go to my Instagram page where I will have the complete hop list. Be sure to comment and tag your friends on every stop because there will be  two winners of a $50 gift card to be drawn from all those leaving comments!

First I used the Bountiful Banner stencil set to color the image with Distress Inks. I used these colors: Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Scattered Straw, Seedless Preserves, Peeled Paint, and Shabby Shutters.

Now, I like to stamp with the outline stamps after I finished coloring with the stencils. The reason for this is so I don't have to worry about the ink smearing while coloring. I just placed the image into my MISTI and placed the Bountiful Banner outline stamp over the colored image. Once I have the stamp lined up, I pick it up with the MISTI door. I use Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide to stamp the outline.

Tip: You can place a piece of acetate over the stenciled image to "test" your alignment. Just stamp onto the acetate and you can see if you need to make any adjustment.

I cut the Bountiful Banner image out with the die from the Impressions: Bountiful Banner. (There is a more detailed die in the Bountiful Banner Honey Cuts to use too!) Then I lined the die cut up with the Impressions: Bountiful Banner impress plate, secured it with removable tape, and ran it through my die cutting machine with the usual die cutting sandwich.

The impression from the Impressions: Bountiful Banner shows up in a few places in the photo and in real life, it's SO pretty! I added thin foam strips to the back and adhered it to an A2 kraft card base.

I stamped a sentiment from the Bountiful Banner stamp set with clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with metallic brass embossing powder. I used the banner die included in the Impressions: Bountiful Banner set to die cut it. I added some foam dots to pop it up on the card.

I just had to add some of the pretty Harvest pearl stickers for a touch of bling!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope to see you over on the Instagram hop too!
