Weekly blog for Bumbleberrys show casing Honey Bee's Country Wreath

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Imagine my excitement when the boss (Katrina Rudd), posted she was stocking Honey Bee stamps.Then when my DT stamps arrived I was so happy to find the amazing Country Wreath, https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/new-releases/products/country-wreath-stamp-set

I came up with a card, and realised that this humble stamp set can be used for all the seasons including Christmas.

Firstly I stamped out the wreath in versa fine in Vintage Sepia.

Then Stamped the bow in the same ink.

then using Pigment inks (Versa Color in 33- pink,34-Orchid, 21-Green, 22-Fresh Green, 135-Hyacinth, 54-brown, 182- Bisque.)

Then I started to build up the wreath.

Using First and Second Generation ink by stamping twice with the same stamp to create different depths of colour.

Then I used a random sentiment I had from Penny black to stamp in the centre.

Using Nuvo drops in Pale Gold, I added drops and Crystal drops.

Finally I stamped the little hearts, ribbon, and blended around the card base.

I really enjoyed building up the wreath and have thought of many other designs to share with you soon.

Happy crafting

and God Bless

Jo
