This image comes with a Bee Strong sentiment, but I decided to go with Bee Yourself... You're Awesome. I fussy-cut the bee so I could pop her up on foam tape. I went with non-traditional colours for my bee! I used a bunch of old scraps/snippets of patterned paper and cardstock so I'll be joining Pixie's Snippet Playground. All products used are listed below.
- Digital stamp: Gerda Steiner Designs Bee Strong
- Clear stamp: Sentiment (unmarked)
- Colouring medium: Touch Five markers
- Die: Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Borders, Cross-stitched Tag (unmarked)
- Patterned paper: My old Dollarama stash
- Embossing folder: Tim Holtz Honeycomb
- Other: Heart punch, washi tape, Dymo label maker
I was inspired by the sketch at Connie Can Crop:

OMG! Your bee is SO cute and I love the Bee Yourself expression. As the Mom of a tween son, a card like this would be so perfect (albeit with a little less pink since he's a boy!). Love the non-traditional colors though. I also want to share some exciting news with you because I know you'll be happy for me. I have been selected to be a video artist designer for CottageCutz. I am so EXCITED I can hardly stand it. I will have a blog entry about it soon but I can't help telling some people ahead of time. Did I say I'm excited!!? Ha, ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you and I don't even know you. Congratulations.
DeleteCute, cute cute! Precious image, pretty paper, and a fabulous design!
