I used a bit of Multi Matte Medium to adhered them together giving me a bit more weight. Using my Cuttlebug, I cut the Love die (from the same set) out three times from Neenah Solar White. I adhered it directly to the card base as I already had the Stix2Anything on the back and ready to go. I used Versamark and white embossing powder to create part of the sentiment. First, I took a piece of vellum and added a bit of Stix2AnythingA4 adhesive sheet to the back before prepping the opposite side with my powder tool. I created the sentiment with Hero Arts Love Stamp and Cut set. I used Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils to color in my image until I was happy with it. I heat set the white embossing powder to give me that stunning dimensional pattern. I took the foam mat out of my Misti and used it to stamp the Star Flower with Versamark. I worked directly on a 5 x7 Kraft card base and started by preparing my card with my powder tool. I wanted to try to keep the card as simple as possible to highlight that amazing background stamp, so that also meant trying to keep my layers to a minimum. I find using your colored pencils does require more time but the end result is gorgeous and there’s a sense of accomplishment you get when you see the final product! □ Let’s get started with today’s card.

Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers Used:įinally, I added the three little bees colored with Copics and the white on black heat embossed sentiment. There is a coordinating die set, but I didn’t want the white around the images. I used my Zig Clean Color Real brush markers to color the flowers and leaves before fussy cutting them out. I also leave my stamps in the Misti and stamp again once I finish watercoloring. As the paper is slightly lumpy, the Misti allows me to stamp it numerous times to get a nice dark outline. The Misti stamping platform came in handy for stamping the “Even More Spring Flowers” stamp set onto watercolor paper. I noticed this was sold out, and there is another larger die you could use and only cut once. I die cut it 4 times from watercolor paper and sprayed it with Dylusion Sprays in Lemon Yellow and Orange. The Bee Yourself stamp set was part of a Simon Says Stamp card Kit in July last year and it came with a small hexagon cluster die which I used to create the honeycomb in the background. Of course, if you don’t wish to do this, you could simply use a piece of patterned paper, but, this was inky fun goodness at it’s best, LOL Once that was dry, I splatted some white and yellow paint. Next I painted it white and then I sprayed it with Distress Oxide Sprays in Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon. I cut a piece down to 4 x 5-1/4, peeled off some of the surface so the corrugated center showed.
