Hello everyone! Happy St Patrick's Day!! I wanted to make an actual themed card for today but as usual life got away from me.
Anywho - I made these cards for Honey Bee this week and they're a type of colouring that ANYONE can do - no special skills needed:
I heat embossed Honey Bee's Spring Blossoms and Chin Up Buttercup's sets onto Distress Watercolor cardstock with Hero Arts White Satin Pearl embossing powder. I then used mini ink blending tools to add Wendy Vecchi Make Art inks (Distress Inks, Distress Oxide inks, basically any water-reactive ink will work here too) over the images and sprayed them heavily with water. After they were dry I die cut them with their coordinating Honey Cuts dies.
I die cut Simon Says Stamp Fog card stock with the second largest Honey Bee Deckle Edge A2 Honey Cuts dies, and over it I blended some Watering Can Wendy Vecchi Make Art ink using one of the Hexi Patterns stencils.
The Thinking of You sentiment was stacked 3 times with black card stock and stacked and adhered with my Xyron 3" Sticker machine. The "Hey Buttercup" was white heat embossed on card stock and vellum and adhered to the card with foam tape and craft tacky glue.
For the splatter I used Distress Oxide Sprays (loving them for splatter too!! I used the sprays HERE in a previous post - need to play with them even more!). I added a bit of the spray to an acrylic block and splattered it over the card with a paint brush. For the purple I actually mixed Faded Jeans and Wilted Violet Oxide Spray to get it to match the Wendy Vecchi Violet ink I used over the Spring Blossoms.
On the inside of the cards I just inked up the flowers with the same inks I used on the front (Violet, Prickly Pear, Fern Green and Sunflower Wendy Vecchi Make Art Inks) and stamped them in a cluster on the insides to finish them off.
