Hi friends! Today I have a couple of bright and cheery cards to share with you featuring the latest Essential stamp release by Studio Light. I just sat down to play with no idea in mind and am so happy with how this first card turned out. I started by dipping my Bristol panel into watery Distress Inks in Squeezed Lemon and Mustard Seed. Once I had a grungy background, I sponged Mustard Seed through part one of the new Leaf Pattern Mask (SL-ES-MASK178) then followed with Vintage Photo in part two. I used the incredible Studio Light Ink Blending Brushes, which come in different sizes for getting just the right amount of ink where needed.
Next I had a lovely time watercoloring the new Lemon Squeezy stamp (SL-ES-STAMP427). What a great image! I used Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint Distress Ink for the leaves and Antique Linen for the flowers.
I finished by stamping the Easy Peasy sentiment - fun!
I really got in the watercolor mood and stamped the new Honey Bees stamp (SL-ES-STAMP425) onto another Bristol panel and then colored away! I used Distress Inks in Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed, and Bundled Sage. I used Distress Markers in Black Soot and Walnut Stain to color the bee's body. I went back over the honey comb in the background with a Wild Honey Marker.
I finished by mounting one of the bees, which I fussy cut very carefully! He looks so good with the dimension, as if he's flying. The sentiment is from JMA Sentiments & Wishes (JMA-ES-STAMP340). This stamp is so much fun to work with! I can't wait to make a square card next time!
