Hello. It’s my turn for Pick of the Week here at The House That Stamps Built. This week, I want to focus on Stenciling.

First of all I stamped the sentiment and the bee in Versafine ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

Then, I stenciled the honeycomb back ground onto a white card panel using Distress squeezed lemonade ink and a blending tool. I went a little bit brighter or darker on the inside and then fading out toward the edge of the card.

Stamps used are 9308-C Bee and 9312-D Just “Bee” cause. I kept this very clean and simple so that the focal point of the stenciling doesn’t get lost. I also stamped a bee in the inside right hand corner to continue with the cuteness!

Hope your inspired to get out your stencils and play around a bit.
Thanks for stopping by!
