For SUO Challenge #297, I made this very busy Honeybee Home Friendship Card. The theme of the challenge is plants and gardening.
The Honeybee Home Bundle was perfect for this challenge. I stamped the images with saddle brown Stazon ink and colored them in with a blender pen and the coordinating inks from my color palette. Blender pens are the perfect tool for getting a softer watercolor look without all the mess. Just dip a block into your ink pad, pick up the color with the blender pen and color! So pretty!
I also challenged myself to use a brighter color for the card base and pumpkin pie just fit the bill. The card was also finished off with a lot of little details like the honeycomb embossed background, the twine triple bow and of course the sparkle from the little gems.

Ooh, I love those colors!
Yeah I decided to keep the coloring soft but go with the bolder pumpkin pie color for the background for something different.
that’s gorgeous – the pumpkin pie makes a fab base for the other colours!
Thanks so much!
Ooo fabulous colours and lots of lovely delicate stems that really pop against the embossing folder, just lovely, many thanks for sharing 🙂
I really like the Hive Embossing Folder and the detail that it gives the background. Thanks for the nice comment!
Beautiful!!
Thanks Buffy!
