Hello everyone!! I have a combination Valentines/Birthday post for y'all today - using one stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. Their new Piece of Cake stamp set and dies are fabulous and I couldn't make up my mind which images to use so I used almost all of them and made 2 cards, one birthday-themed and the other more Valentine/love-themed.

OK on to the cards!
I clear heat embossed the images onto watercolor paper after stamping them with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then used Prima's Pastel Dreams watercolor set to color them all in, and once dry added highlights and texture with a white gel pen. I used the coordinating Honey Cuts dies to die cut all the images, and most are adhered to the cards with foam tape.
For the backgrounds I die cut white card stock with the Scallop A2 Honey Cuts dies and masked off the outer perimeter of them. I sponged on some light pink dye inks and then used Tonic's Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the smallest dots in the Honey Bee Polka Dots Background Stencil pack.
On the inside of the cards I used a combination of heat embossed, die cut and stamped sentiments. I had more of the stamped and coloured images left over so I added those to the insides to finish them off!
