Hello there and welcome if you’re new here. I’m thrilled to be taking part in this hop between WOW and Honey Bee Stamps. I was sent this gorgeous package from Honey Bee and I couldn’t wait to play with the goodies inside.
They very generously sent me a fabulous flower border stamp and die called Zen Floral which has a very useful die to go with it. I used it to create this bordered card along with a Honey Cuts die called Hello Gorgeous Words.
Here’s how I created the frame. I stamped, embossed with WOW Oasis powder and die cut the border four times. I really needed the grid on my mat here to lay it out in a square and taped it down.
Using the grid I marked my mitred corner
and cut through both layers. I did this for all four corners.
I then taped up the corners to hold them together while I turned the frame over.
Of course the corner pattern doesn’t match perfectly, it’s not meant to do that but it’s only the little bits which stick up from the corner which give it away. So I just snipped these off.
So here’s my finished card. I embossed the “Thanks” with Florida Sunset from WOW and used Primary Ebony powder to emboss the little bee.
Thanks for stopping by. Read below and follow on to continue on the hop to discover other amazing designer projects.
holding the spray not to close to the paper, I sprayed ink lightly to give my paper a bit of a background.
I trimmed down the paper into the size I wanted and used some Distress ink to darken the edges. 
On the bigger card I first scrunched up some tissue paper and used it to cover the surface which gave it this distressed surface.
Again I sort of wiped over it with some Distress ink to enhance the creases in the tissue.
I think it looks really cracked and distressed with the ink.
