Hello & welcome back for day 4 of the new Honey Bee Stamps Bee Bold release!!! There are so many great sentiment stamp sets and dies included in this release! Today, I combined one of them with a beautiful new floral!! (You know I would go for the florals first, didn’t you? Ha!!) The full release will be available to purchase on Thursday night 8/2 at Midnight CST!

I began by stamping the flowers from the new Cosmos stamp set with Versamark Ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Markers and cut them out with the Cosmos Honey Cuts. Next, the Grateful Honey Cut was used to cut part of the sentiment from orange and white cardstock. The remainder of the sentiment, from the Grateful stamp set, was stamped with orange ink onto white cardstock. The new Sentiment Banner Honey Cut was used to cut the stamped sentiments. There are seven different lengths of banners that can be used for a multitude of sentiments. I played around with all the elements to get a layout that I liked and adhered the flowers to an aqua cardstock panel that was trimmed slightly smaller than my card base. I trimmed off all of the excess flowers that hung off the background panel. The die-cut sentiment and sentiment banners were adhered with foam adhesive. A sprinkling of Aurora Lights Confetti Mix was the perfect finishing touch!

That’s it for me today!! Be sure to pop over to the Honey Bee Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the team!!

Also, there is a HUGE 2-day blog hop happening on Friday & Saturday, so stay tuned for that!!

See ya soon!!
