An adorably happy little bee buzzing by to say hi card. The chubby bee was black embossed & lightly colored w/ pencils & is backed up by a couple of stenciled backgrounds. Easy to make and easy to customize the colors.

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting Liz Marie Blog & her Pinterest Board. I came across THIS picture of a bee on a gray background & used it for my inspiration.

It may not look exactly like the shirt, but that’s where i started. As we all know, things sometimes do not go as planned. After I black embossed the bee onto dk gray & used pencils to lightly color him, I just didn’t like it that much. So time to rethink. I tried it again on a lighter, heathered gray w/ violet undertones & I liked it much better. The smaller white & larger weathered backgrounds were lightly stenciled using pale blue & pale lavender inks. The lower section of the white was cut w/ a tattered edge circles die, the bee & flowers were die cut & added on top along w/ the black embossed greeting.

I realized the colors of the Prismacolor pencils aren’t readable in the top pic so the numbers/colors are from the bottom up:
PC949 Metallic Silver
PC938 White
PC934 Lavender
PC1026 Greyed Lavender
PC956 Lilac

Pretty ruffled flowers to brighten a special someone’s day and let them know they’re missed. A beautiful new floral set with matching dies.

We have a special Featured Stamper Challenge to celebrate the 900th Challenge! Your choice of any of the last 100. I chose THIS card by Betty (aka Sweet Irene FS868). I liked the flowers around the frame so I kept that, but I used stamped & colored flowers instead of die cut flowers. I also used different colors & instead of having an inset frame, mine is stacked layers.

The ruffled flowers were colored w/ Copics & die cut w/ their coordinating dies. I die cut three stitched layers in decreasing sizes. The Hope part has a matching die (love this!) & the rest of the greeting was stamped in the lower right corner.

The Hope word was popped up above everything.
These are the Copics I used: (in case you’re wondering about the B’s & BV, there were used to underpaint the leaves & flowers in the shadows.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Books & Flowers

Posted on May 3, 2024 9:50 PM by Julie Comment

Are you a book lover or know someone who is? This could be the card for them. A stack of beautiful books under a shelf of flowers. All against a quilted cover background. The dies make it easy to customize the colors.

t’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC961) and we are headed to A Cup of Needles & their Pinterest Board where I saw THIS lovely embroidery piece.

After die cutting the books out of several different colors, I put them all together. I used some of the same lavender & purple colors for the flowers. The vase & shelf were cut out of an ivory color. I wanted them to be a little different from the white background but not so much that they took over. The flowers and leaves were shaped a bit before i attached them. I love how the holes in the quilted background cover let a bit of the purple backing show through.The greeting was stamped onto a small wood plank, just the right size for it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
