Welcome to Under the Sea International blog hop with Honey Bee Stamps!
Grab a cup of coffee and relax because we have a lot to share with you today! 23 papercraft artists from all over the world are participating in this blog hop to share ideas and inspiration whilst showcasing Under the Sea – Honey Bee Stamps July’s products release available now at Honey Bee Stamps Shop.
This is a MASSIVE ocean themed release and you can see complete release here! I’m loving the mermaids, the nautical stamps and the embellishments are to die for.
I made samples using Message in a Bottle Stamp Set and Mermaid Song Stamp Set and I also used Coral Shell Sequin Mix to add a little bit of sparkle.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
The bottle stamp from Message in a Bottle measures 4-3/4″ x 2″ inches (12.5 x 5 cm) and it is just the perfect size to create a tag and I also made a quick card using the same image .
To easy add colour to bottle, flowers and see stars I simply used water brushes and the purple and blue Nuvo Brush Script Pens on Bristol paper , this is my favorite smooth paper to be used with water based markers.
I also created a striped background by tracing some light blue lines with Nuvo Brushes in plain white smooth cardstock.
I’m also loving theSticky Thumb Pop Dots, they are perfect to add dimension.
I used 5 of the 17 images in the stamp set and I multi stamped the sentiments using Distress Oxide Wilted Violet ink and Dusty Concord Distress ink .
I added some flowers fromBusy Bees Stamp Set and Coral Shell Sequin Mix to add a fun dimensional and decorative element.
I applied Raspberry Pink Nuvo Crystal Drops and some strokes of Indian Gold Nuvo embellishment Mousse to add sparkle.
MERMAID SONG
I also enjoyed watercoloring the sweet images of Mermaid Song Stamp Set to create a s happy beach scene. Isn’t she adorable?
There are 19 images in the set and 24 sentiments ! that’s a MASSIVE stamp set with 43 stamps to play with .and Im so loving the little images, The sea shells and the crap are my favorite!
I also added colour to this card with Nuvo Water Brushes and Nuvo Brush Script Pens on Watercolor paper. I added sparkle with aSilver Nuvo Glitter PenandIndian Gold Nuvo embellishment Mousse.

Nice cards! I like how you wrapped the twine around the neck of the bottle and how the mermaid tail fins look like they are underwater. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Hi Sandy Thanks for asking. 1st. I made a tag and decided to paste on a card base so I wrapped the twine around the neck of the bottle before gluing it down. 2. After applying watercolor markers on the whole scene I drew some lines with a white colour pencil over the mermaid tail fins and over the blue water. Then I applied white watercolor pencil and blended with a bit of water. The colour pencil wax avoid colour bleeding … it kind of creates a protector layer on the watercolour so the colours underneath doesn't blend and get all moody when applying water again, so it create that transparent effect. ( I hope you can understand me .. so sorry my English is very basic) . x hugs Bibi
Two absolutely gorgeous cards! I am loving the message in a bottle one especially!
