You're A Keeper Stamp Set

This stamp set is so cute!  I also used an element from another stamp set

called Bee A Honey Bear!  Let me show you how I made my card!

I started by stamping my images onto Kraft card stock with black ink.

I used the honey jar from the Bee A Honey Bear Set and the rest of the

images are included in the You're A Keeper set.  I stamped one of

the bee images twice.

I used a light layer of Copic coloring just as a base so I could use my colored

pencils.  I used Y15, RV21, G82, E11, C1, E31, E21, YG11 and BV000.

You can see my color testing on the upper right of the panel.

I used my Prismacolor pencils for this card.  Having the Copic color

underneath really helps to make the colors stand out.

It took a little while to build up the colors - but so worth it!

I did more work on this honeypot before finishing.  I added an orange layer 

to make it brighter.

Prismacolor Pencil Color #'s: 

Bees: 914, 916, 917, 1002 Wings: 934

Honey & Comb:  916, 917. Comb: 941, 1034

Honey Pot: 943, 944, 945, 937, 914, 1103, 1002,

133, 1087, 208, 918

Hat & Netting:  1090, 1098, 1005, 935

Bear:  1032, 948, 947, 140  Muzzle: 941, 947

Cheeks & Tongue:  1029

Once the coloring was finished I fussy cut the images.

I put Stickles on the Bee wings and Glossy Accents on the honey

and the comb.  Once it was dry I added white hi-lights with a

white gel pen.

I covered a Kraft A2 size top folding card base and adhered a panel

of very dark brown card stock 1/8" smaller.

I took another piece of Kraft card stock and cut it to 4" x 5 1/4".  I

stamped on the sentiment using a dark brown pigment ink then heat embossing

it with clear embossing powder.  I also stamped the buzz trails in the

same ink, but did not heat emboss those.  Using a strip of green patterned

paper and a grass edge die, I die cut a strip and adhered it to the bottom

of the card.  I then adhered that panel to the prepared card base.  I popped

up my elements with foam tape and added a tiny gold heart near the sentiment

and added little yellow crystals throughout the background.  And that

finished my card!

I feel this card could be used for a variety of occasions. The bear and

those little fat bees are so cute!  If you haven't checked it out and
