Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
I’m so happy to be a part of the Simon Says Stamp Rest and Refresh Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Nichol Spohr’s blog you are on the right track!
For my first card, I used the Bee Happy Stamp Set & the Hexagon Element Die. These two products are so cute!!
I started by stamping adorable bees from the Bee Happy Set on watercolour paper using VersaFine Onyx Black. I coloured them with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel, and then fussy cut them.
I die cut the Hexagon Element from white card stock five times, stacked them up using fine tip glue pen – I made a thick hexagon die cut. I mounted the hexagon die cut on the centre of kraft card base using fine tip glue pen first, and then added watercoloured bees, sentiment banners, and gold sequins.
For my second card, I used the Summa Time Stamp Set along with the Good Vibes Dies.
I die cut the Wonky Rectangle Panel from watercolour paper first, and then randomly stamped cute elements from the Summa Time Set using VersaFine Onyx Black.
I freely watercoloured the stamped panel with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel – it’s one of my favourite watercolouring techniques. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on Green Apple card base.
