Honeybee Card Using Faux Bleaching Technique




Today I have another Misty Moonlight card for you using the Honeybee Home stamp set again.  This time I opted to make my own background papers and used the Honeycomb embossing folder.  I absolutely love how cardstock looks when you color over it with Wink Of Stella let it dry and then emboss it.  It is so glittery!

I also did a fun faux bleaching technique I stamped on Misty Moonlight cardstock and then colored that in using the white Watercolor pencil.  It is a fast and easy way to get that bleached look.   

Don't forget to pick up all of your Misty Moonlight products before they retire on May 2nd!
My second card uses the retired Saleabration stamp set Calming Camelia.  


Card Measurements:
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
Lighter Cardstock: 3 5/16" x 4 9/16"
2" x 5 1/4"

Basic White Cardstock: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card

I am so proud of how this Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card turned out.



I absolutely love this card layout.  It is a twist on one of my favorites where I just pivoted the stamped layer at an angle on the card front.  I made this card for a new meets old swap using a retiring In Color along with a brand new stamp set from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

I chose Misty Moonlight as my retiring color and did a monochromatic card using the beautiful paper from the Heart & Home Suite.  This paper is sadly also retiring at the end of the January- June 2022 Mini Catalog period and I am so sad. Thankfully the stamps and dies will be carrying over into the new annual catalog so you can still get the gorgeous Honeybee Home stamps that I used here.

I used the Flowers of Home dies to create an embellishment for the left side of the stamped image and went over the cardstock with lots of Wink Of Stella to make it shiny.  I also colored in the floral image using my Misty Moonlight ink applied with the Wink Of Stella pen as a watercolor wash.

The new stamp set that I am featuring on this card is the Good Feelings stamp set and will be available for purchase on May 3rd.  It is an all sentiment set with bold large fonts and I used them on both the card front as well as on the inside of my card.





Card Measurements: 
5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Misty Moonlight Card Base 
(2) 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White Mat Layers 
3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Designer Series Paper Layer 
2 7/8 x 3 7/8 Basic White Stamped Layer 
3 x 4 Silver Foil Mat Layer 
3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Misty Moonlight Mat Layer 
2 x 4 1/4 Misty Moonlight Scrap for die cut 
2 1/2 x 3 Basic White for punch
