You Make The World A Better Place

Hello Honey Bee friends! I love sending cards to friends and family that sends the message of how wonderful they are. Today’s card is just that type of card! This one features the beautiful Light The Way stamps and Honey Cuts with the sentiment set Be The Light stamps and Honey Cuts.

To create this scene, I began with an A2 sized piece of 80# cardstock. First I stamped the sand from the Light The Way stamp set in a kraft colored ink. I stamped it once across the bottom of the cardstock, then shifted to the right and stamped it again, just above the first stamping. I used a Detail Blender Brush to ink on the same color of ink.

Next, on a separate piece of cardstock, with my MISTI, I stamped the other elements from the Light The Way stamp set. I stamped the lighthouse, sailboat, and sandpiper with Intense Black ink. I colored these with my Copic markers.

Then I stamped the water with a teal ink and a gray ink for the rocks. To color the rocks I used a few gray Copic markers. I added a lighter teal ink to the water with a blender brush. I cut the items out with the coordinating Light The Way Honey Cuts. I used my scissors to trim away the white edges of these two die cuts.

Next I used glue to adhere the water to the piece. Then I trimmed the stamped panel to 4″ x 5-¼”. Before I added anything else, I put the rising sun stamp from the Light The Way set onto a stamp block and stamped it with a warm yellow ink.

Next I used another blender brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add blue to the sky background. I left some areas white to give the look of clouds.

My next step was to stamp the birds and clouds with a stamp block. I used Broken China Distress ink for the clouds and a brown ink for the birds. Note: There are also coordinating dies for these elements to die cut separately.

Before I glued the panel to my card base, I adhered the rock die cut with foam dots and trimmed the excess off at the edge. I used glue and foam dots to adhere the lighthouse, trees, bird and sailboat to the card.

Have you checked out the Be The Light sentiment stamps? My goodness, there are so many kind and uplifting sentiments to choose from! I stamped my chosen sentiment with black ink and used the coordinating Be The Light die to cut it out.

I love this peaceful scene, and hope you do too! Be sure to check out the Light The Way stamp set as there are other wonderful elements for scene building in the set that I did not use.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope it’s a good day for you!
