There's still time to join in the stencil challenge at CAS Mix Up
There is so much inspiration and examples on the blog so do head over there to take a look.
Here I used part of a honeycomb stencil, inked through with Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink using a blending brush. With the stencil still in place I stamped with an old splatter stamp from SU using the same ink.
The two bees are really fiddly to assemble but once coloured with alcohol markers and covered with Nuvo Crystal Glaze I think they look really effective. I believe they are from Memory Box, but I can't find the packaging and I can't see them on the internet. If anyone could tell me definitively I would be grateful!Craft Rocket Challenges Clean and Simple
that stamp works brilliantly through your stencil, such a good idea. I found this one hard at first, but have been well inspired by all the examples from the DT. The bees look fabulous and I am afraid I can't help on their origins xx
ReplyDeleteI love how you've done the honeycomb, Chrissie! And those bees are AMAZING! They look so real!
ReplyDeleteBee-utiful! What a fun idea to use bees and honeycombs for a new home card. The bees may have been fiddly, but so worth the effort because they look amazing.
ReplyDeleteAww I love you're adorable 3d bees - well worth the fiddling! The honeycoomb looks fabulous with the deeper yellow stamping and as always your card is beatifully CAS!
ReplyDeleteI am such a lover of bees...so your card makes me smile from ear to ear. Those stamped splats within the cells make your stenciling so interesting. I can't wait to see your future DT cards.
ReplyDeleteQuickie visit Chrissie - so forgive me for not commenting on everything I have missed (make the most of what internet I have!)

Enjoyed Oswaldtwistle in the 8 years we were there - but have come back to the West of Lancashire - missed it! xx
Perfection, Chrissie! I can see how the bees would be fiddly, but they're very cute! Love the warmth of this. Yellow, nature, simplicity... a fantastic combination!
