Shifter Hex Stencil Background | Gonna Bee Here Gnome | Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another fun gnome card... this cutie is a new release at Unity Stamp Co. this week!! I couldn't BEE  more excited to share this fun card I created using the adorable Gonna Bee Here stamp set.

I created the background using Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks over the Hex Shifter Stencil by Tim Holtz. I added a bit of black acrylic paint splatter with just a touch of shimmer by also adding a drop of Liquid Pixie Dust to the paint.

I dried the background and trimmed it down to 4 x 5-1/4". I mat it on a card front of Black Licorice card stock from Lawn Fawn measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and then adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base.

I colored up this cutie with the following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11

Beard ~C00, C2, C3

Shoes ~ N2, N6, N10

Wings ~ B0000, B00, R27

Honey ~ Y11, Y15, Y38

Hive ~ E21, E23, E27

Bees ~ N2, N6, N10, B0000, B00, Y06, Y11

Honey Pot ~ BG10, BG15, BG57, B06, B99

Ground/Outline ~ E23, E25, N0, N2

I die cut the cute bee gnome with a Stitched Tag Corner Square STAX die from My Favorite Things. I added a bit of shimmer to the wings of the gnome and the bees with a Nuvo Glitter Gloss Aqua pen. I then trimmed off the right edge of the die cut piece and adhered it to the card. I mat the sentiment on black card stock, trimmed it and then adhered it to the card. To finish of the card, I added a couple enamel dots.

 

I have a video sharing how I created the background and finished up the card. You can check that out here... Shifter Hex Stenciled Background | Bee Gnome.

Isn't that sentiment just perfect?! I just love how this turned out... I hope you like it too!
