Stampin with Liz Design: Magengo Honey Friend Card!

Hi there fellow crafters! Welcome to a new Stampin with Liz Design blog post! Today I'm excited to be over at the Magengo Designs blog with a new, fun card! I generally don't like winter, so I'm already really looking forward to spring. I thought I'd create a really fun card to get in the spring mood! When I think of spring, I think of the trees getting green again, sun and of all the bugs that seem to rise again, lol. I like bugs as much as I like winter, but on my card today there is just the most adorable little bee ever! And a bear that is just coming out of it's winter sleep! This fun digital stamp set is called Honey Friend!

In this fun stamp set you'll find a few bees, a friendly bear, a bee hive, a tree, grass and of course honey! I can relate to this snooping bear, I love honey as well! Luckily for him, the bee doesn't mind him snooping! I kept this card very clean and simple, sometimes a cute image doesn't need much more! I used a white card base which I started masking with masking tape at the sides, to keep a nice clean white border before starting to blend a fun background. I used a cloud and a grass stencil to create my background with. I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for the sky and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink, both from Ranger. Applying ink is very easy with a blending tool, just dip the blending tool on to your ink pad, loose a bit of the first ink on a different piece of paper and then gently go about your paper using the stencil to apply the ink. 

I then started working on my images. Digital stamps are very easy to use. You just pick the images that you'd like to use and then print them. Print hem on paper you would also use to stamp on, I like using Solar White Neenah cardstock, as it is great to colour with Copic Markers. I printed the tree, bee hive, the adorable bee and the bear holding the jar full of honey. I fussy cutted these images and then coloured them with Copic Markers. I added some lines to my tree, to make it look more real. I then diecutted a piece of cardstock with a cloud die, using it as leaves for the tree. I blended this with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink from Ranger. I added all of these stamped images and the leaves on to my card using dimensionals, just to give this card a bit more depth! Hope you like it!

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!
