When I saw the honeycomb in the inspiration photo for the current ODBD challenge, I knew I wanted to make a card using this background stamp, and I was hoping that I'd be able to combine it with the MIX challenge today. Sure enough, with Lydia's MIX121 It's Summer ~ Better Work Those Quads challenge, it was easy.
Actually, I might have used more than four different mediums, but we can dumb them down a little if it has to be exactly four ;-).
Stamped and embossed the verse - in my mind it ties in with other Scriptures about God's word and honey. Masked off a rough border and stamped the honeycomb in Sepia. Misted with homemade mister and sprinkled some brushos over - gamboge and light brown. Edged it with white acrylic with some Perfect Pearls dusted over it, and added a doodled border.
In keeping with the "word" theme, the bee was stamped on an old dictionary page, coloured with pencils, luster rub-ons on the wings, and then because the pages are very thin, I embossed it with clear EP for extra strength.
