Hello everyone!! Welcome back to Honey Bee Tuesday!! It is my regular day of the week for Honey Bee, but I also have posts set for Wednesday and Friday this week, so make sure you come back for those!! There is a new Fall Release this week and today I have used the Forest Friends stamp set…

Isn’t this stamp adorable?? And I LOVE the quote…so true.

I started by inking a background panel with Distress Oxide Inks, then spritzing with water, lifting some of the color for more interest. It seems I have found myself addicted to theses Distress Oxide Inks…anyone else?? They blend like butter!! While that dried, I stamped the image from Forest Friends with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic markers. I also used Copic markers to draw a fall tree and some fallen leaves onto the background, once it was dry. The quote was white heat embossed at the top of the panel over the tree. The critter image was fussy cut and popped up onto the panel with foam adhesive. I stamped, colored and fussy cut one of the hearts from the set, before covering with Wink of Stella Clear Pen and Morning Dew Nuvo Drops. The heart was also popped up with foam adhesive. The final step was some Black Nuvo Drops for the eyes of the critters.

Thanks so much for stopping by…be sure to come back tomorrow for the preview of another stamp set!! Head over to Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration!!
