Well.......I still feel pretty horrible. Though bronchitis can take some time to clear up and go away - the worst part of it (besides the relentless coughing and exhaustion) is what it does to my voice! Makes it rather difficult when my job depends on it. OK whining is done for now LOL - I still have a card and video to share with y'all:
My card for Honey Bee Stamps this week is a cute one in my opinion ;). I knew immediately I wanted to use this Forest Friends set b/c it's adorable and I've been wanting to use it since it arrived!
I decided to do some Prismacolor Pencil colouring on kraft for the images. I LOVE the look of color pencils on kraft (or darker) card stocks. The colors just pop more, plus kraft is a helluva lot more forgiving than colouring on white card stock LOL! Also adding white gel pen over color pencils over kraft just makes life better.
I love the little banner dies that come in the coordinating First Friends Honey Cuts set. The fact that they're 2 dies so that you can pop the one up for added dimension to make the banner LOOK like a proper banner just makes me happy!
I also used the Ocean Borders large stamp for my background again. I love the swirls in it and they totally don't have to be "water" IMO.
On the inside of the card I stamped the images with kraft ink, then stamped the sentiment with black ink over it. The set includes a bunch of little heart stamps - I inked up 3 of them with the same pink ink I used on the card front and that finished it off!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.
