Let it bee

Hi. I decided to play with this week's Freshly Made Sketch again and came up with this.

I tore my stamps apart looking for a specific stamp and die set for the bee, and frustratingly, never found it.  Ended up fussy cutting this one from Recollections.  I added color using Copic markers and the wings have sparkle spritz on them.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions, and the die is from Brass & Bliss. I had a yellow background already created in my background stash, so added that behind the dots.  The line of dots that is supposed to resemble the flight of the bee is done using a sewing racing wheel in black ink. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello

Hello! I'm playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch. This is such a creative one too!

I had created this slide with dried flowers and misc stamps (Tim Holtz) a while back. Decided to put it to use with this sketch and lighten the stash level. The hello is also a rub on from TH.

The background was created with an old stamp from Rubbernecker called watercolor background set. I used Simon Says Stamp ink in dew. The black stitches are a die from AALL & create. I did piece them together to create longer strings, if you will.

A deckled edge rectangle die mimics the stitching and tie it all together.

Thanks for stopping by.

I sectioned off a sheet of mixed media paper into a quad and proceeded to add ink, stenciling, stamping, etc.  Sentiment is from Avery Elle.
