Honey Bee Stencil Geometric Background 

https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/geometric-background-stincil

Distress Oxide in Dusty Concord

Glossy Accents

Alcohol Markers

Aqua Sparkle Pen

Nuvo Drops in Black Gloss

White Embossing Powder

Black card stock

A Paint Brush

Method

Stamp and Colour your images, using alcohol friendly ink pad.

 I use Memento or Gina k Amalgam ink in black.

I then use the aqua sparkle pen to make the nail varnish sparkle.

Cut out your images with dies or fussy cut.

Now we start with the back ground.

Hold down your stencil over a card front panel.

Gentle rub on using blending brush.

I recommend cheap oval foundation brushes from ,Amazon,

 they are a fraction of the price of designer ones. 

I have been ranting about them for weeks, and introduced my Teamie Verity to them.

She did an amazing blending flower card using them with Atenew Stamps.

After removing the mask, I took a paint brush and some distress oxide.

 I flicked this on to my project.

This adds more detail and interest.

While this dried.

 I stamp and embossed my sentiment.

I messed about with the placement.

Then added Nuvo Drops to finish.

Then my card was complete.

Thank you for popping over and Happy Stamping.

Firstly I made the background out of the backing paper.

Then I stamped out the butterfly's on to the lilac paper.

I then stamped and coloured the chicks.
Put them all together on a card blank.
I then embellished, using Nuvo drops, Doodlebug heart stickers and little Jasmines
I then stamped the sentiment, on to more of the lilac paper pack and attached it to the bottom right. of the card

Lastly I added Glossy accents to the butterfly's wings and chicks beaks.
A very Spring, Easter feel, with the paste colours.

I enjoyed moving into Spring Colours as we all need a bit of colour this time of year.

Be Hap-pea adorable stamps from Lawn Fawn, in three easy Peasy ways to make a card.

Hi There Crafty Friends,
Well its Wednesday, so its my turn up on the blog today. I've been on a week off from my day job.
 This meant I had plenty of time to play with the Hap-pea stamps from Lawn fawn. 

They remind me of the kids show a few years back, called the Poddingtion Peas.

I had ask the boss (Katrina), to let me know when these cute stamps were coming in.

Once I started playing I became a bit hooked on these little pea's.
