Honey Stand

Hello friends! Happy Friday! Today I'm popping in with a bit of inspiration with the April Stamp of the Month from Not 2 Shabby.  I just love this little honey stand and had a fun little crafty session coloring it up with alcohol markers.  My colors were inspired by the Sweet as Honey papers.

After coloring the image, I die cut it in a circle shape, as I wanted it to be the focal point of the card.  Next I picked a coordinating strip of cardstock to layer behind and then added a bit of texture by embossing a panel of vellum with a chicken wire embossing folder. This panel grounds are image and also adds a little place holder for ur sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Ultimate Sentiments: Birthday set and cut with the Ultimate Sentiments Die. I finished off the card with a background of patterned paper and accenting with a few die cut photo corners to match the green cardstock mats I added to my main layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulously creative start to the weekend!

Happy Birthday Hexagons

Hey crafty friends! I'm back with another card featuring the Sweet as Honey paper pad and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby.

I decided to pull out some hexagon dies for this one. I cut several from a few different patterns, then glued them down in a diagonal pattern on a rectangle of white cardstock.  Next I ran this through with a chicken wire embossing folder and lightly sanded over the embossing. I added a couple of photo corners, then popped the panel up on foam over a card base with a panel of green in the center.

Then it was time to decorate.  I pulled out a couple of pieces of ephemera to create the scene, then stamped a sentiment from Say it with Style Birthday.  I cut this with my Scan 'n cut, and then layered everything together.
