One of my absolute favorites from this month's release is PS077 Botanical Bee. This set comes with a fantastic large Bee as well as some complimentary sentiments!
I stamped the bee with Versamark Watermark ink and embossed with Distress Embossing powder Black Soot to give texture to the black areas of the bee. I then masked the bee and applied various colors of distress inks over a TCW stencil to create the honeycomb background. The sentiment was then stamped in Archival black and the bee's body with Mustard Seed Distress and the wings with Pumice stone.
I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Summer.
I was so excited about the July releases I made a second project for the hop with the S616 Feathers background stamp. So many techniques can be used with this one. For this project I chose to use Pan Pastels and Versamark Ink.
The sentiment is called Winds of Change.
Here's a close up of the amazing detail in this stamp. I just love how the Pan Pastels blend so seemlessly.
