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 tracing wheel in black ink. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Bee-Day

Hello. I'm playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I recently picked up a new set of clear stamps at Michaels (their Recollections line) that mostly featured bugs. I was drawn to the bee and dragonfly in the set. Anywho, here is the bee stamped and embossed so that I could color it with Copics. I fussy-cut it out and popped it up on top of the honeycomb with foam tape.  

The designer paper is from Moda Scrap, and the sentiment is from Woodware. 

Thanks for popping in to take a look.  

Thinking of you SSC327

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the inspiration color prompt photo below. The 

The butterfly is an old one from Stampin Up! I stamped it twice, fussy cut one out and colored with watercolors to match the red and orange in the photo below.  I stamped another onto the card base and then popped up the colored one using a foam strip. The leaf panel is done with a stencil. I used the thinking of you sentiment from Recollections to finish off the card.
