Just Bee Amazing

Hi there and welcome to my blog  :)  I have a quick and cheerful card to share with you today which is being featured on the Chocolate Baroque DT Blog - fifteen minute cards.  For this project I have used stamps from the Honey Bee and Mackintosh Words sets; grey Versafine ink, Distress Ink,and alcohol markers to colour with.  

I took a piece of white colouring card and stamped the sunflower image with grey ink.  I then masked it and stamped the image twice more.  I coloured the images with alcohol markers, adding a shadow line around each image with a light blue pen to make the flowers pop off the page. 

I then stamped the Honeycombe image randomly around the flowers, using first and second generation ink, in blue Distress Ink. I then blended the ink around the edges of the focal panel.

On a spare piece of the same card I stamped the sentiment in grey ink.  I used the word 'Bee' from the Honey Bee set and the other words from the Mackintosh Words set. I then cut the words out separately in little plaques, and blended blue ink around the edges.
  

 This is a quick card to make and the simple design really shows off these beautiful stamps.  There is a cheerful and positive feel to this card, and it would suit a variety of occasions and recipients.
Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope that you've enjoyed this post - pop in again soon  :)
