HAPPY BEE DAY HONEYCOMB GIFT TAGS - Creating Die-cuts with Details and Gradient Stenciling

Tag Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Hexagon birthday gift tags with bees, red flowers, and honeycomb pattern. Text says "Happy Birthday, honey" and "Hap-bee Birthday." Cream flowers nearby. — As sweet as they can be!

COLOR PALETTE

Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pads: Apple, Peachy, Zest, Limelicious, Fairway, Flannel

Ink pads with paw print designs, labeled "Apple," "Zest," "Peachy," "Limelicious," "Fairway," on a grid background. — Sorry, forgot to include the Pawsitively Saturated Lemonade Ink and Black Soot Distress Ink. You will need those too.

GRADIENT STENCILING

Place four hexagonal die-cuts from the Honeycomb Tag Die Set on a Craft Tacky Mat as shown and cover with the Honeycomb Stencil.
Apply Lemonade Ink in with a Large Blending Brush all over the hexagons and then darken in select areas with the Zest Ink.
Add a little Peachy Ink over some of the Zest ink-blended area to deepen the color.
Remove the stencil to show the honeycomb pattern.

COPIC COLORING, DIE-CUTTING & FINISHING

Die-cut the bees, flowers and leaves out of white cardstock.
Identify the insides of the bee wings.
Dab them with a Sheer Shimmer Stix Dauber to make them shimmery.
Let them dry before assembling.
Color the remaining die-cuts as shown in the large image below using a Round Detail Brush.

Grid-lined background with colorful craft pieces: yellow hexagons, black bees, red flowers, white petals, and green leaves on a pink sheet. — Custom coloring die-cuts with Pawsitively Saturated Ink.

Adhere the hexagons to the tag bases.
