Loose Watercoloring and the Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Afternoon Release (VIDEO+GIVEAWAYS!)

22 Sep

Good morning!  Today we’re hopping along to celebrate the Autumn Afternoon release from Honey Bee Stamps!  I have two cards to share today and you can find a video for one of the cards below or over at my Youtube channel!

I just love the Lovely Layers: Maple Leaf Honey Cuts die and thought it would be perfect to create an autumn themed card!

Lovely Layers Maple Leaf by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Honey Bee Stamps

I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to watercolor a few panels of cold-press watercolor paper and then die-cut them with the solid layer of the Maple Leaf die. Then I added more color and splatters of paint and metallic watercolors to give them a little more depth and dimension!

I die-cut the detail layer of the Maple Leaf die from gold glitter cardstock and then layered them onto a soft watercolor background.  I added a sentiment from an older set to finish the card!

I had a leftover watercolored leaf and I didn’t want it to go to waste so I created a second more CAS card!  I die-cut the detail layer again from gold glitter cardstock and also from Concord & 9th Eggplant cardstock.

I arranged them on the card panel and added a sentiment from the new Autumn sentiment set to finish the card!  I’d love to know which one you prefer! 😉 Be sure to check out the full release and happy shopping! 🙂

    OMG, Jess, these are both very striking cards! Love the outlined leaf in gold glitter with your gorgeous watercolors. Personally, I’m more of a CAS gal so I “think” I prefer the second one.

    Such beautiful leaves! I’ve seen the watercolor sploosh before as a background, but this makes these leaves so realistic! The gold and card is very beautiful true, but the leaves are so incredibly realistic. Lovely!
