Black Copic Marker | Honey Bee Stamps

An easy cheat for a card that pops is using a black copic marker. You can ink blend however you want and it doesn’t even have to be smooth! You stamp your images on top and color the rest in black!

Fussy Cutting & Stenciling | Miss Ink Stamps

Sometimes it’s worth the time to fussy cut. I created this stenciled background and really didn’t want that white outline around my images so I got to fussying cutting. I usually reserve it for easy images but these were a bit tricky but totally worth it!

Subtle Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

I’ve been loving pulling older sets and matching it with new ones. The Sweet Spring Mice is a favorite and I definitely wanted to use it with this Friendship Frame stamp set. It was the perfect frame that works as a background so the focal image would fit snugly in the middle. I used one copic marker to add a bit of shading to the Friendship Frame stamp and it worked so well!

Sneak Peek Kit No. 7 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 7 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date.

I share my process for this card in this video below!

Adding Texture | Honey Bee Stamps

A simple trick to elevating your card is to use an embossing folder to add texture to your background. I didn’t want it to overtake the card since my focal image leaves a bit of blank space so I used additional color blocking to fill up the card in a subtle way.

Monotone Stamping | Ink Blot Shop

Border stamps are really fun and versatile. The newest set from Ink Blot Shop is perfect because there’s no edge lines and you can use it for repeat stamping to create a full background panel. I kept a monotone vibe to the card and it lets me not overthink it!

Watercoloring and an Inky Background | Pretty Pink Posh
