by May Park-

Hi crafty friends! It’s time for a new challenge over at CASology. Here is this week’s cue card:

I decided to go with the cue word literally using a bee image from Circle Friends stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. Then I challenged myself to create a fun and bold honeycomb background using embossing paste. I had so much fun with it, and without further ado, here is what I came up with:

The honeycomb was created using Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste mixed with yellow acrylic paint to add some vibrant color. It was applied to the black cardstock through the Honeycomb stencil from Heidi Swapp. I opted to create a smooth finish to my pastes using a spatula. Those yellow hexagons just make me happy! Hope you like it, too!

This is how I put together my card. 1)Positon the stencil on a black cardstock panel and tape it in place with some washi tape. Mix some white embossing paste with yellow acrylic paint. Then apply the mixture over the area with a spatula. 2)Carefully remove the stencil. Then set the panel aside to dry. 3)Cut the panel leaving wanted area and pop it up on the card base using foam tape. 4)Stamp the sentiment from Kindness Matters stamp set. Stamp the trail after the sentiment in black. 5)Stamp the bee image from the Circle Friends stamp set. Then color the image with Copics. 6)Fussy cut the bee and adhere it on the card base using foam tape. Then add a shimmer over the wings using Wink of Stella glitter clear marker. Finish off the card with glossy accents onto the bee.

The embossing paste adds such a cool texture. It’s an awesome look in real life, or at least I think so.

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?

    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with
    hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Heya! I know this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours take a massive amount
    work? I’m completely new to operating a blog however
    I do write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations
    or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
