I made a fun little square card, stamping the 4.25" tip top taupe base with the honeycomb image from The Buzz, then I added the BE and You-tiful stamps in the corner, with a few teeny bees fluttering around.
Next I started on my focal point, a little doodle I did to test out my new Kuretake watercolors. After I finished water coloring the flower, I did a wash of the pearly watercolor, but it didn't turn out the way I expected, so I pulled out some stencils to rescue the project. First I used scattered straw with a honeycomb stencil, then tumbled glass with the dots stencil. I distressed the edges with tip top taupe and black soot, then splattered some watered down black soot on top.
The mat is baja breeze, sponged with the same colors and then I added black liquid pearl accents. I finished off by adding some white liquid gel pen accents to the bees.
Thanks for stopping by today!
