Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great weekend. It is Sunday for Honey Bee Stamps and here in Scotland we are saying goodbye to the long  bright summer days which are not that warm but   better than the  dark freezing winter days.

So I like to dream of  sunny winter days and so today I'm sharing a card made using More Flakey Friends stamp set on a bright scene.  The sentiment is from Let it Snow stamp set.

I'm loving Honey Bee images  as they are so easy to colour  and their  stamp sets always come with a bunch of little stamp accessories that you can use to easily  create embellishments, accents  to enrich any composition. 

These tiny  accessories stamps included in Honey Bee stamp sets  can also  be used  on their own... they are the cutest thing ever  and some of them are as tiny as 4 mm tall ... check out the pine cone or the Christmas bubbles  in the stamp set More Flakey Friends stamp set. I defo have to make something using the wee stamps and share it with you.

This week I also receive My Zigs (Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush (Set Of 36 Colours) .. they finally arrived from Japan. I didn't know I was buying from Japan actually as I ordered from Amazon - Kuretake UK.  They took about 20 days to arrive but I think it is worth the wait  as they are a bit pricey in the local market  and for a set of 36 I only paid about £39 which included shipping.

You can also get the  24 colours set or more on Amazon Here!! and check out the price.

In my opinion these water based markers are awesome!  It might be good to  try them for a while and get to know the colours  to see how they work and blend together.

It is also essential  to  use the  right paper with them as with any other marker they will perform better on the right paper. I  like  Bristol  Smooth paper or cold pressed watercolour paper 300 grams.

oh! and  I also found a new favourite ink  to colour skies and it is  Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I have to thank Debbie Hughes who has donated me several Distress ink pads  and I'm loving the colours ... I also  used Evergreen Bough and Bundled Sage Distress Ink to add colour to the background of this card.

And another new favourite is the A2 Double Stitched frames die by Honey Bee. I  find myself using them very often.
