Hello Friends! Welcome to Day 16!! Today I was able to finish up coloring Honey Bee stamps beautiful Paradise Blooms tropical floral stamp set. Yay!
In my post yesterday I talked about painting with the Distress Oxides. Next time I want to try painting with distress inks first and add distress oxides on top.
Today I realized how difficult it is for me to figure out how to finish a card because I’m so used to creating one layer cards.
Painting with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Re-Inkers was different and I like how the oxides are opaque instead of translucent. The paint sits on top of the paper so you can keep adding a layer without it turning muddy.
The Honey Bee ‘s “Paradise Blooms” & matching die cuts … LOVE them. It’s not often I use a die for the background but, this one is so pretty and stands alone.
Before I layered my card it was super fun to make some designs with everything I painted.
This one was fun too. Maybe I will do something like this again for a wall hanging.
See you tomorrow and always a big thank YOU for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

Thanks for stopping by Linda
This is stunning Kathy, my favorite of yours so far in this challenge. I love this set, it is the first set I purchased from the Honey Bee release and I have to say I am bit intimidated now to do it justice. Gorgeous!
Don’t be intimidated! Just do your thing and have fun.
Very pretty! Your watercoloring it gorgeous!
Thank you
Such beautiful cards, so inspiring!
Thanks Eleanor
Wow, the colors you have used for the Paradise Bloom flowers are so beautiful. You have amazing talents. I have not tried using the distress oxides to paint as you have done, just for stamping. I will have to try this method. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much

Yes!
LOVED your coloured pieces, ADORE your card!
… it can be so hard assembling elements, sometimes I take photos of them in different positions so I can remember what goes where 🙂
Thank you so much Tracy
I absolutely love it! The colors are so vibrant. I have the same background die and love what you did to step it up. For someone who only does “1 layer” cards this one is amazing. I love the texture of the die coupled with your focal tropical sand the vellum. Wow!
