<p>I started with creating the stenciled background. I used the&nbsp;<a href="https://dare2bartzy.com/collections/totally-tracy-mixed-media/products/stencil-wild-flower" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wild Flower Stencil</a>. I taped it directly on the card base and then I added the inks on it using oval blending brush.</p>



<p>I stamped the bear image from the&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://dare2bartzy.com/products/bear-banner" target="_blank">Bear Banner Stamp Set</a>&nbsp;with black pigment ink pad and then dried it with craft heater. I colored the bear with alcohol markers. I stamped the letters MOM and heart banners with dye ink pad and Mini MISTI. And then after that I cut it with the matching&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://dare2bartzy.com/products/d57-bear-banner-die-15" target="_blank">Bear Banner Die</a>.</p>

<p>I added the bear image and the bottom corner card with thin 3D foam tape and then I decorated the cards with those cute little bees using some thin 3D foam tape, too.</p>
