Bee-lieve

Hi There! For my step by step this week I have another layered ink card for you. Here's how I made it.
 

I began by masking a border with stencil tape and blending a mixture of mustard seed and Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink onto a 5x5" card base. 

I then stamped the so Square background stamp in Mustard seed distress oxide over the top before removing the stencil tape. 

I used one of the borders from Freehand borders #1 in lumberjack plaid around the square, masking off the corners with a post it note.

I neatened up any missed sections with a red fineliner pen. 

Next I stamped the largest bee from the BEE mine set onto a scrap of card in black Versafine Clair ink. I also stamped some of the honeycomb outlines in the lumberjack plaid ink over the background.

I smooshed the bee with the same inks and then cut it out.

Finally I added the bee to the background using 3d foam pads and added a sentiment from the same stamp set. I used two colours so this would be perfect for the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook  group Challenge, which you still have a few days to enter.

I used:

5x5" card blank

Stencil tape

Distress inks in Mustard Seed and Lumberjack Plaid 

Distress oxide ink in Mustard Seed

So Square background stamp

Freehand Borders #1 stamp set

Bee Mine stamp set

Black versafine Clair ink

3d foam pads

Thanks for looking! If you have booked to do my workshop on Saturday, I will look forward to seeing you in the group.
