I started by stencilling the honeycomb background with Distress Oxide and then I die-cut the white panel with a stitched rectangle. I stamped the flowers, fussy-cut, and adhered. I stamped the bees, coloured with markers, fussy-cut, adhered, and applied Stickles to the wings. I heat-embossed the sentiment in white on a black scrap, matted onto a yellow scrap, and then adhered with foam tape.
Clear stamps: STAMPlorations Blossoms Spray 1 (flowers), Joy Clair Bee Kind (bees), Pink and Main Bee Happy (sentiment)
Die: Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles
Stencil: Honey Bee Stamps Hexi Background

ReplyDeleteStunning card, Kitty. I love how you've left the main image uncoloured - very effective. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the yellow ink you've used. I find some yellows so bright. I love how you left the flowers uncolored. A great use of restraint - which I don't have when it comes to card making!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Kitty! Love your bee theme. Just bee-utiful! Love how you used the stencil for the pop of color but left the flowers neutral. Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!

It is stunning how you left the flowers uncolored. I guess I'm too fussy I would have had to color them. I never think outside the box like you did. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing with STAMPlorations Stencil challenge.
ReplyDeleteEchoing the others: your card is gorgeous! Fabulous combination of images and I love that you've left the flowers *as is*! Stunning! Thank you for sharing your creativity in the STAMPlorations CAS gallery!
