Day 2, Honeycomb

It's day 2 of the new May release from Uniko.
Today we are all honey sweet!
Here's my inspiration for you using the new Honeycomb stencil.


I didn't want to go down the traditional honey bee route so went with a more masculine treatment, 
playing with a technique I'd seen on YouTube by Jennifer McGuire here, using dark card and white pigment ink with a stencil.
The base panel was a rich blue piece of card and the dark blue ink DI, Chipped Sapphire, with a white pigment ink. My die cut sentiment cut from the same blue card and the rest of the sentiment from Pure Florals Cosmos was stamped on a white card circle in dark blue ink. A larger die cut circle of vellum softens the edges. The trimmed panel was placed on a white base card.

   

I din't use the Bee Happy stamp for this, just the stencil.

Check out the rest of the DT for more inspiration.

  4. I think your card is wonderful. It does have a more masculine feeling as the hexagons have a great geometric feel and the way you've used the colours is super. (I have to try this technique soon). Lovely work. Deborah xx
