Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I’m sharing details of my sweet card that features three of the new products from the Pet-tastic release!

I wanted to try a technique that I’ve seen, but have never actually tried. It involves taking dark colored cardstock, like this dark blue I’ve used, and adding white pigment ink through stencils first. So I started with each of the six stencils in the Pet Friends stencil set. I used Bee Creative Brilliant White pigment ink and a blender brush to add the ink.

When the white pigment ink had dried for a bit (I did use my heat tool to help it) I pulled out lots of Distress Oxide Inks in various colors. I repeated coloring through each of the Pet Friends stencils with my Detail Blender brushes.

I trimmed the panel to 3-¾” x 2-¾”. Then I glued that to a card base I made with a Scallop A2 Card Frames Honey Cut. There is a “FreeBee” paper pack you can get with a purchase over $100 that has 12 two-sided sheets of adorable patterned paper. I chose one piece and trimmed it to 3-¾” x 2″ and glued it to the card base. I added a narrow strip of cardstock I inked up with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.

I used the Pet Friends stencils again, but just for two of the dogs. I added the Distress Oxide colors onto white cardstock with blender brushes. Then I cut them out with the coordinating Pet Friends Honey Cuts. I used foam dots to pop them up on the card.

The sentiment is from the Pet-tastic stamp set and stamped with black ink. After I cut it out with the coordinating die, I popped it up with a foam strip.

I really wasn’t sure if this stenciling on dark cardstock would work, but I really like it, and hope you do too! I always so appreciate you stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
