Hello everyone! Sorry for my late post - I had this hop written in my planner for TOMORROW, totally didn't realize I had my days mixed up until I started seeing all the blog hop posts on social media (insert facepalm emoji here) - so I've been scrambling to get mine re-edited and up!
So the Honey Bee Design Team was asked to participate in this year’s Autism Awareness Blog Hop!
Veronica Zalis and Tenia Nelson organized the blog hop to raise autism awareness and to embrace the autism community. For more information on the blog hop (and the prizes), you can read her post here.
You can check out the Honey Bee blog post HERE as there's a giveaway for it!
Here's what I created:
I created my background using Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth card stock then layered 3 different stencils over it. The first 2 were the rays stencil from Honey Bee's Ocean Scene Builder stencil pack. I used a mini ink blending sponge with just water over the larger ray stencil. After drying that I used the narrower ray stencil and some white gouache with a blending tool to create whiter lines. I again dried the background then used the heart stencil from the Honey Bee Fall Showers stencil set and some Nuvo Sapphire Blue Glimmer Paste.
My main characters are from Honey Bee's Forest Friends stamp set, and I stamped them onto more Bristol Smooth card stock, this time with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed that with Nuvo Clear Embossing Powder. I then used my Tombow markers and a water brush to color them in before die cutting them with the coordinating wafer die.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the images with the same Distress Oxide inks then stamped the sentiment with the Versafine Onyx Black and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. 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. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
