Honey Bear

Today I'm sharing a special design using a color palette I don't often turn to. This project for La-La Land Crafts ended up feeling to me fresh and energetic, and I love lilacs so it earned a place in my heart.

This design was pretty simple to make, but the order in which it's put together matters very much.

• The background was stenciled and then stamped with the baby bee stamps and sentiment from the Honey Bear Clear Stamp Set 
• The bear was adhered using 2 layers of dimensional foam
• The tree branches are arranged and glued down
  
• The white lilac parts are added
• The purple lilac parts are added
• The leaves and sentiment complete the project
  

I used the end of a pen to make the purple lilac pieces "jump up". They look the best this way and the most real-life (as opposed to being glued down flat).
