Hi there! Today I’m joining Honey Bee Stamps to celebrate their 4th birthday. I’ve created a couple of project using some of their new April release goodies.
My first card features the Rainbow Wishes Stencil. A rainbow stencil? Get outta town! This stencil was a total dream and I used distress oxide inks for the color.
I also embossed a sentiment from the Rainbow Wishes stamp set.
Next up is the Hexagon Patterns stencil. Geometrics? Shut the fridge! I ink blended my heart out using Distress Oxides.
For the sentiment I used the Awesome Sauce stamp set. I also popped up a few smaller hexagons using the Hexagon Patterns Honey Cuts.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards:
