I started by cutting a square of white card approximately 6.5 x 6.5 inches and placed the Daisy Chain Big One at an angle and secured with tape to stop it moving as I inked through it. I then used the Distress Oxides to create a rainbow effect through the stencil. After carefully removing the stencil from the card I spritzed the stencil with water and placed in my journal to save wasting the ink.

 

I then stamped the larger bee from the Doodle Art Bee stamp onto spare card and coloured with the Blueprint Sketch, Ripe Persimmon and Squeezed Lemonade inks after squishing them onto a Skinny Slim block. 

 

Next, I cut a tag from the die set and followed the same method as before but with the Honeycomb 3 Inkable. Once the ink was dry, I mounted the tag onto some black card and left a small border round the edge.

 

I mounted the larger piece of card onto a black border and decided that I needed an edge to the Inkable. For this I used one of the border stamps from the Bee set and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

 

I mounted the bee onto the tag using foam pads to give it some depth and stamped my chosen sentiment onto white card. I separated the sentiment into individual strips and placed them on black card to make them stand out more. Once I had decided on the final placement, I glued everything in its place.

 

Thank you for looking at the blog this week. Have fun crafting at some point.
