You should have arrived here from Jennifer McGuire's blog. ;)
We are all surprising Melissa for her 2nd Honey Bee Stamps Birthday. Be sure to hop along for all the fun & prizes!! Each stop on the hop will have a drawing for a free stamp set of the winners choice from the Honey Bee Stamps store. Be sure to comment at each stop to enter all of the drawings. The winners will be announced on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog on May 3rd at Noon PST.
Now for my project! I decided to use the new Stick With Me stamp set to create a stamped art print that can be hung on the wall. I knew these succulent stamps would be perfect for it and I love how it turned out! ;)
I used one of my favourite matted frames from Ikea and used the mat to trace out a space onto a draft piece of paper so I could sketch out the design. I really wanted to make sure that everything was lined up perfectly so that I could easily stamp the images in a grid of nine.
Once I had the sketch created, I cut a piece of watercolour paper to size and recreated the lines on the watercolour paper. I used a pencil and a light had so I could easily erase the lines once I had all of the stamping done.
I stamped all of the succulents with Versafine Onyx Black ink and just took my time t stamping them since each pot and succulent is a different stamp. It did take a bit to stamp out but it was so worth it in the end.
I also stamped a small square panel that could be used as a card to go with the print and I love that the card matches it perfectly. Once I had all of the stamping completely finished, I used my Sakura Koi Watercolours to paint all of the images. I kept the colour palette pretty consistent throughout so everything would like nice and cohesive once I had it all painted.
You can see how I created the stamped succulent art print from start to finish in the video below:
Once I had the print all painted and it had time to dry I put it in the Ikea frame so it's all ready to give as a gift or to be hung on the wall.
Thanks so much for joining me today for the hop and a huge happy birthday to Melissa and Honey Bee Stamps!!
Don't forget to leave a comment on this post by Sunday midnight for a chance to win a Honey Bee stamp set.
Your next stop on the hop is Amy Rysavy. Happy Hopping!

Love that cute cacti stamp set. Really like your wall art project. Thanks for letting us participate.
Stephanie, wow...so amazing! I LOVE the succulents and the way you turned the stamp set into a gorgeous piece of art. I know a friend that this would be perfect for. I will have to try this for myself, maybe using my limited supply of TomBow Dual Brush pens would suffice. Great work creating a piece that will make everyone feel that they have to have this stamp set.
This is pretty! Very imaginative! Love your color choices for the succulents.-Maria Giselle

My Mother is very much into cacti and succulents. Since I'm in Missouri and she's in Florida, it would be so fun to send her frequent cards/notes with these designs.
Oh goodness, what a fun new set! I love all the variety of succulents and vases. So many pretty combinations!
