Hello there,
It's a new month and time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up. Viv is Hostess and challenging us to use Flight as our prompt with Water colouring as the main element of your card. We welcome Joyce (Cards-by-the-Sea) as our Guest Designer.
I painted two shades of Yellow Distress Ink on the water colour card. Die cut the Honey Comb and then layered the Honey Comb three times to give it some stability. I placed yellow card behind the die cut. I splattered some Gold ink and stamped the sentiment. I stamped the bees, die cutting the Queen Bee and Fussy Cutting the others. I coloured the bees with a Marker and Aqua Painter. For the inside I stamped the Bee Hive, splattered some more gold ink and added the stamped, coloured and fussy cut bees.
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Honey Bee, Collage Curios, Simon Says Stamps, Tiny Words SSS101883
Card: Thick and Thin Whisper White, Water colour, Daffodil Delight
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Stazon Black
Finishing Touches: Wink of Stella Clear Brush, Delicata Gold Ink
Cool Tools: Aqua Painter, Big Shot, S/U's Detailed Bee Dies, Misti, Dble Sided Tape, Foam Tape, Fun Foam
Wonderful gold splattering and the subtle splatters inside are just perfect. Love how you have created the dimension and well done for fussy cutting all those bees xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Susan! Your honeycomb die adds great dimension to the bees and what patience you have (and good eyesight) to fussy cut the tiny ones! Great card!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm currently working on a card that's looks almost like this. Great minds. Lovely background and awesome spatter. Seeing all those sweet, fuzzy bees makes me smile. Wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Susan! I'm drawn to anything with yellow. It's super cute inside, too!
ReplyDeleteLove all this yellow, Sue! The honeycomb and bees are awesome and so is the watercoloring!
ReplyDeleteFabulous water colouring and a beautiful card Susan x.
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Susan! I LOVE your layered honeycomb which stands out from the pretty watercoloured and splatters background of yellow and gold. This is such a happy card with the bright colours. Your bees look busy making honey! :) xx
ReplyDeleteYour die cut and stacked honeycomb look almost real...my mouth is watering:-) Love all your busy bees (awesome fussy cutting) and your queen bee is definitely stands out as she is much larger:-) Your watercolored background is perfect as well as your stamped beehive and bees inside the card. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome honeycomb you created with your layered die cuts and the dark honey color - busily buzzing with all of your bees along with their queen!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great depiction of flight of the bumblebee. What a pretty card and I love the inside too.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love this. You've created such depth with your layered die cut and watercolouring. Love those busy bees too! xx
