Honey Bee Stamps – 12 Designers of Christmas 2017!

12/7/2017

Hi everyone! I am wicked excited to be one of Honey Bee’s 12 Designers of Christmas! Welcome to day 7!

December 1-12th there will be 12 different card designers on the Honey Bee blog and they will be featuring awesome stamp sets from Honey Bee. There will be discounts and sales and all kinds of fun stuff! CLICK HERE to go to the Honey Bee Blog to see more for the next couple of weeks!

As you know I live on Cape Cod, and am a mermaid at heart so I couldn’t wait to play with the Mermaid Song set.

Using Distress Inks, I watercolored her with the no-line color method. Stamping in a lighter ink color, in this case Antique Linen, and then watercoloring the image with Distress Inks.

For the background I stamped the Ocean Borders Stamp in Peacock Distress ink and immediately went over areas with a wet paint brush. Picking up the color from the stamped image, and filling in some of waves. Using a quickly glue pen and prisma ultrafine glitter, any of the waves that weren’t colored in I filled them in with sparkle!

I stamped the sentiment “Seas the day” with Versafine Onyx Black ink to get a really nice solid, bold sentiment.

I hope this card has inspired you, or at least has you ocean dreamin’ !

Thank you so much Lisa and Melissa for inviting me to be part of this fun blog series!
