Welcome to another collaboration blog hop with Hero Arts, and this time – Honey Bee Stamps! Today’s stamp set is a charmer and is great for support, encouragement, strength and recognition. Aptly named, You Are Amazing. I know I certainly have several folks in my life deserving of many of these sentiments. Enjoy a hop through several creatives and comment on the posts for your chance to win one of two $50 gift certificates!

Making an effort to recognize the effort of another doesn’t mean you have to put in a ton yourself. Today’s project was quick and easy, and yet – fun and effective!
Soft Yellow stamp heart image onto scant A2 Smooth Bristol cardstock to create a guide for no-line coloring. Add a touch of color here and there with Karin Brushmarkers in Almond, Skin, and Praline. The watercolor markers are highly pigmented and hide the Soft Yellow image easily. Let the colors blend and meld into one another for an organic feel.

Add or adjust with another layer of color, if needed. Allow to dry and stamp sentiment in stark, crisp black. Pop finished panel onto A2 folded card base, and mail to someone for a lift.
