Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Winston's Honeybees

let's hear it for the Newton's Nook Designs April Release


today, the whole DT is showcasing the super cute, super versatile Winston's Honeybees stamp set!!! i instantly FELL IN LOVE with this set! i am not lying when I say, I've already made 11 cards with this set!! ha! 
and this set is in a new 4x4 size!! how cool is that?!
you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on March 18th, right here!

for my 1st card, i created a sweet, little scene for winston to eat his hard earned honey in peace! lol!



I watercolored the images with Distress Markers, and then fussy cut them out! The background was created by blending Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron). I love how the clouds fade out in the background!


I also addded some glossy accents to the honey and the bees wings...because...shiny is fun!! :)

for my second project, I actually made a set of 5 cards!! 


i created rainbow colors in Distress Stains onto watercolor paper. once it was all dry, I heat embossed (in white) the bees, clouds, hives, etc. LOVE how they pop!


i also heat embossed the sentiment onto strips of black cardstock, and then machine stitched on all of the little pieces! 


finally, i just added some white thread under the popped up sentiment!
