Weekly Blog for Bumbleberrys using the Honey Bee Stamps Country Wreath.....Distress Oxides.

Well Hello Crafty Friends,
I hope your having a good start to the week. The weather seems to be keeping us guessing, as to whether Spring is about to arrive.
 In the world of crafts, comes the arrival of lots of Spring and Easter Stamps. I am so looking forward to a burst of colour in the hues of lemon yellow, rich purple, and fresh green shoots.  Meaning the season of new life has arrived bring with it, that old friend the Sun.
I've had enough of winter and I sure you feel the same.

Well enough of that, I been playing again with the beautiful, Honey Bee Stamps, Country Wreath.


I haven't done a step by step this week, I have up my hours at my day job by an extra 20. I'm slowly adjusting to not been in the craftroom as often as Id like. But Its a small sacrifices for a well needed break away and extra crafty stash. So please forgive me until I find my feet.
All I can say is i blended the background with my favourite Oxides ink, in Peacock Feathers, Water drop technique and a bit of Acrylic flicking in white. Then Keeping the colour theme to a minimal. I stamped in versafine (Onyx Black) and built up the wreath adding colour buy using the peacock feathers as a paint.
Used Nuvo drops in Caribbean Ocean Gloss.and Punched out a few black butterflys. 
Finally I used MFT sentiment stamps to finish of the card.
I enjoyed thinking differently using the wreath, I loved making my first example, with the use of more tradition colours. But I hope you agree this would work in any colour theme.

Wishing you Happy Crafty Times,
God Bless
Jo
