Bee Friendly


A flying visit today with a card using images from HobbyArt's 'Bee Friendly' stamp set, Distress Oxides and Deco foil.
Easy to make...I blended orange and yellow inks on a scrap of card, stamped my flower and fussy cut. I also fussy cut my bee & coloured with Promarkers. 
The honeycomb pattern is Deco foil, adhered with sticky embossing powder.
A subject close to my heart...looking after our precious bees.

Altenew - Beautiful Day


There's something quite special about Altenew's 'Beautiful Day' stamp set.
It's beyond beautiful.


I started by stamping the outline flower and leaf several times onto vellum with Versamark ink, then heat embossed with a glittery / white powder from Honeydoo Crafts (White Opal).


Lots of fussy-cutting later, I was ready to add a subtle pink watercolour wash, with a Zig Brush pen, to the flowers.


I literally drew a line of colour on each petal and then, with a fine wet brush, added a drop of water and let the colour wash. Easy and very satisfying.


Then it was a case of several hours pontificating over the layout, adding a couple of inked flowers (from the same set) directly on the card, and sticking it all down.


A few obligatory sequins strategically placed here n' there... et voila!
All done. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (except the sequin bit...lol)
