Wow! What a fab & absolutely HUGE site! After browsing for a loooooong time, I was inspired by THIS cute tshirt.
After stamping the beehive with the chalk ink, I added a little yellow ochre with a Tombow marker. Normally I use a Copic marker, but they donÂ’t play well with chalk inks. I did use the yellowish Copics to add color around the beehive, but I did so very carefully.I really wanted a hexagon die to mimic the shape of the honeycomb, but I donÂ’t have one. So I die cut it with a square die then turned it 45 degrees and cut the corners to mimic a hexagon shape.
The honeycomb embossed layer behind it was done by inking the embossing folder, embossing the vanilla card stock then die cutting with the square the same way. For the turquoise background, I stamped portions of the Honeycomb Background with teal, butterscotch & white pigment inks. The seam binding was colored with Copics to match.
Thanks so much for looking! It's also on my blog: The Write Stuff
