Bee 🐝 card

Hello and welcome!

Today I will show a card using some of my “bee themed” products from Tim Holtz.
I started with the background, Distress mixed media heavystock and used some Texture paste opaque through a Tim Holtz honeycomb stencil THS005. Let dry. Then I used Mustard seed Distress Oxide. Then I put some Gathered twigs DOX on my craftmat and mixed with water. I used a brush to put on the “wash” and let it “pooled” around the texture. I like that effect. Finally I distressed the edges with Walnut stain Distress ink, and then splattered acrylic paint in black over the background, and also splattered some Gathered twigs DOX.

 

I then stamped the background with a Tim Holtz honeycomb clearstamp and then with a brushstroke stamp from CMS293. I like that stamp a lot. 

The “No 4” is from TH die set 661187 Stencil numbers. I cut it from Kraft cardstock in black and then sanded for a distressed look.

Here you can see the stamps, the “pooling” and the splats. 

The bee is a stamp from CMS328 Entomology. I stamped the bee and colored it with Distress ink´s and cut it out with the coordinating dies from Sizzix. Very convinient! Then I stamped the it again on wellum,  cut out the wings, colored them with Distress ink´s and glud them above the other wings to get som layering. 

The word "Original" is a stamp from CMS339, Mailart, which I stamped and embossed with Black embossingpowder. The word "collected" is from CMS 120, Small labels. I inked the background on the "Original plate" with Gathered twigs Distress Oxide and mounted it on some black, sanded kraft cardstock and some Mummy cloth which was colored with Black soot Distress Oxide.

The honeycomb is die cut from Tim Holtz edge die Honeycomb.

"Personally selected is a stamp from CMS358, Music & Advert. I fastened the label with a Ideaology clip which I have colored with Mushroom Alcohol ink.

Hope you enjoyed my card!

Thanks a lot for visiting,
