Honey Bear Card

I’m back with another card using the new Harmony Opaque Pigment Ink Pads from Spectrum Noir. I created this cute bear card using the inks. I used a blending brush with Lemon Tonic and Honey Pot inks on a stencil from Stencil Revolution to create the honeycomb background. I heat embossed my sentiments and images from a W Plus 9 stamp set with Honey Pot and Jet Black Inks with clear powder.

Unicorn Shaker Card

I made this cute little shaker card with stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn and the new Harmony Opaque Pigment Ink Pads from Spectrum Noir. These inks are slow drying so they are perfect for techniques like ink blending and heat embossing. I used several different colors to create my card. And I was inspired by this months challenge on the Lawn Fawnatics blog to make something see-through.
