Hello crafty friends! We’re kicking off the MFT Stamps April Release Countdown with some cute little buzzing gnomes. The Buzzing With Happiness Stamp Set will be available this coming Tuesday, April 11th, at 10 AM EST!

I created a fun birthday card today featuring this new stamp set combined with the gorgeous new Peek-a-Boo Honeycomb Die-namics. I started my card by first stamping my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then used Copic Markers to color my images and the coordinating Buzzing With Happiness Die-namics to cut them out.

Copic Colors Used:

• White: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W3, W5, W7, W9
• Yellow: Y13, Y15, V12

I used some Distress Oxide Inks (Mustard Seed and Wild Honey) to create an ink-blended background. It’s okay to be super messy here because once you cover it with your honeycomb panel, it will tone it down a bit and any ink-blending mistakes won’t be obvious. I also added some diluted white and black ink spatters to add a lot of texture and interest.
