Video Tutorial - Creating a Fun Rainy Scene with Honey Bee Stamps, Stencils, and Embossing Paste

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Sorry for the late post tonight, but the weekend got away from me.  Lots of family activities, preparing for my husband's birthday which is tomorrow, and of course, finishing Stranger things Season Two! :)  But I finally have my card and video up for you.  I decided to create a fun rainy scene with a new image from Honey Bee Stamps.  I also did some stencil work with a new stencil from Honey Bee.  Here's my video:

And here are some pictures of my card:








To create this card, I first inked up the background.  I placed a piece of low tack tape onto some Canson XL watercolor paper to divide the cardstock.  I then inked the bottom with some Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink.  Next, I moved the tape to cover the Iced Spruce and inked the top 2/3 of the cardstock with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink and then spritzed the panel with water from my distress sprayer.  I then set that panel aside to dry.  I next inked up the gorgeous image from the Seasonal Sweeties Stamp Set from Honey Bee Stamps and stamped it onto  some Canson XL watercolor paper.  I then painted the image with my Zig Markers and my Detailer Water Brush.  Here are the Zig Colors I used:
Large Umbrella: Deep Red, Pale Rose
Hair: Light Brown, Brown
Scarf: Yellow, Brown
Jacket: Deep Red Pale Rose
Boots: Black
Skin: Flesh Color, Blush, Sugared Almond Pink
Dog Umbrella: Peacock Blue
Dog: Brown, Light Brown

Next, I cut the image out (but made a boo boo, so I fixed it by adding some black twine onto the umbrellas).  Next, I brought back over my distress inked panel and laid the rain drop stencil from the Fall Showers Stencil Set from Honey Bee Stamps on top of the panel and then placed some Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Sparkle Texture Paste over top the stencil so it would lay inside the grooves of the raindrops and result in shimmery rain drops on the panel.  I then let that dry and then placed my colored image onto the panel with some foam tape.  Finally, I inked the sentiment with some Versamark Ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.  Finally, I added some Silver Lining Nuvo Crystal Drops onto the sentiment panel and then added some clear shimmery sequins to the main panel (which I adhered to an A2 sized notecard with foam tape).  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thank you so much as always for stopping by and I hope you  have a wonderful day!!!

Video Tutorial - Honey Bee Stamps - Creating a Fun Fall Card with Stencil Technique

Hi everyone!  It's Christine here for Butterfly Reflections Ink and I have a new card and video tutorial to share with you today.  I'm really excited to share today's project.  It uses a brand new release from Honey Bee Stamps.  I was blown away with Honey Bee Stamp's most recent release and I bought almost the entirety of it from Vanessa's shop.  Here's today's video:

And here are some pictures of my card:






To create today's card, I first created the background.  To do that, I inked a piece of Canson XL Watercolor Paper (cut slightly smaller than an A2 sized card base) with Wild Honey Distress Oxide InkWornLipstick Distress Oxide Ink, and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink.  I also spritzed some black ink onto the panel for an extra touch.  Next, I used the Fall Showers Stencil from Honey Bee Stamps and applied some Gold Glitter Paste to the stencil, which resulted in the beautiful gold leafs you see on the panel.  Next, I stamped the Seasonal Sweeties Stamp Set from Honey Bee Stamps onto some Canson XL Watercolor paper and then painted the image with my Zig Markers and my Detailer Water Brush.  I used the following Zig Markers:
Girl's Hair: Dark Brown, Brown
Girl's Coat: Deep Red, Pale Rose, Peacock Blue for buttons
Girl's Scarf: Peacock Blue
Girl's boots: Brown, Light Brown
Girl's Skin: Flesh Color, Blush, Sugared Almond Pink
Cat fur: Brown, Light Brown
Cat ears and cheeks: Light Pink

I then cut the image out using the Coordinating Forest Friends Honey Cut Dies and then adhered it to my distressed panel with foam tape.  Next, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink onto some black cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder.  I then cut it out and adhered it with foam tape. I then adhered the entire panel to a standard A2 sized card base. For a finishing touch, I added some Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops What do you think?

Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

...and they lived happily ever after.
