The second card can be a simple or complex as you wish.
Again you will need an A2 Card base and panel and white cardstock for stamping and die cutting with scraps for the die cut pieces..
Together we will ink blend through the stencil for the background. Using the above ink families and Earthy Embrace, Earthtones, Coastal Mist and Sage Garden (or whatever your wish).
Then I will give you many ideas for the components for your card including using Enchanted Gold Shimmer Relief Paste, Glitter Cardstock for the bees, and the Honeycomb Stencil.
Another great die to use with this set is Circular Elements Die Set.
There is another bee set as well. Mini Delight Bee Kind
This card using Circular Elements Die and Bright Bloom Layering Die Set and Just Because Builder
Nicki Baxley posted a card almost identical to this when Honeycomb Haven was released. She gave me permission to show this card and the technique she used to create the shimmer relief honeycomb pieces. I will demonstrate it in class.
I teach virtually every Second Wednesday. Altenew announces those workshops in their newsletter. There is a discount on supplies used in class if you register in the first week or so after the newsletter announcement.
I also teach once a month on Bridget Casey’s Free Saturday Workshop. Watch Altenew Facebook Fan or this blog for those workshops.
