Honey Doo Crafts Lovely Lily stamp set

Morning crafters.

Hoping you're all well.
Here is my final sample for the new stamps sets released by www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk 

This is using one of my favourites,  the Lovely Lily stamp set. I've also used another two new stamp sets, Music Notes and Mum sentiment stamp.


I cut a white card panel to fit on a card blank and then cut another shaped piece of card that will sit above the panel.

I used a mask to create a moon with distress inks, that would peep out from under the shaped card once assembled.

On the shaped panel I randomly stamped the music notes in lilac ink and distressed the edge on the same colour.

The Lily stamp was then stamped onto the main card panel using Kuretake clean colour pens to colour in.

The sentiment, from the Mum stamp set, was stamped and matted onto lilac card.

The sample was then assembled using wet glue and foam pads to add depth.

A few pearls finished it off.

A white pen was used to create a subtle shadow around the flower before attaching this to top of card blank , so it sat above it.
The sentiment was stampedand attached to catd blank and a ribbon and twine bow added to complete sample xx 

For my final sample I create a card blank from green cardstock, cut the front of the card in half and used a punch to create a fancy edge  
I die cut two green and two white ovals then stamped part of the flower head onto each white oval. I also stamped a bee on one before colouring the images in with Kuretake clean colour pens. 
The flower pot was then stamped onto the front of the card blank. This was masked off before stamping flower head. This was also masked off to stamp the leaves on. All masks were then removed and the images coloured in with Kuretake clean colour pens.  A couple of bees were also stamped and coloured in before stamping the xoxo stamp to complete. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking through these last samples .
Thankyou for looking and for the comments you leave
