To get the pretty glossy (honey) finish on the background stamp I inked it with watermark ink and then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I ALWAYS love how clear embossing powder looks on a background stamp! The sweet little sentiment and tag are from Emma's January release and are called Teeny Tag Greetings. The cute little bee is from Create a Critter and stamped with the Snow Cuties face by Peachy Keen Stamps.
