Bee-utiful Bees !!

Hello my dear crafty friends.. Been a long time since I made a card .. So here I am with not just 1 card but 3 😀😀😀

I used Simon Says Stamp July 2019 card kit for my cards today .. This stamp set is so versatile and loads of ideas are in my mind ☺️☺️

I stamped the bees on watercolor paper & colored them using Tombow Dual Brush pens. Then I die cut the bees & hearts using coordinating dies.. I did not plan for 3 cards initially.. But in a flow started making more bee die cuts ..

For the first card I made a watercolor background.. I dry embossed a brown watercolored sheet using Woodgrain embossing folder.. Then I splattered some brown paint on it. I had a red die cut heart in my stash .. Adhered the bee on heart using foam for dimension .. I also stuck a heart on the bee.. I then arranged the card and placed a sentiment “ Mommy to Bee “ in Versfine Onyx Black ink .. Then comes my Husband’s touch to this card .. A frame in white card stock 😀😀

On to the second card .. I started by die cutting the honey comb on a watercolor sheet.. Then took a piece of yellow card stock & placed as a backing for the honey comb part .. I placed the skeleton of the comb back on my card .. Then I painted sky blue watercolor in the background.. I stamped the bee’s pattern in Versafine Onyx black .. Now my background is complete .. I heat embossed the the sentiment “Bee-utiful” on a piece of black card stock with Ranger White Embossing powder.. My bees are ready ..

I stuck a piece of black card stock on to my card base(4.25X5.50) . Then adhered my background sheet on top of black card stock.. I then placed the bees & sentiment using foam squares .. I love the dimensions that foam squares bring in 😍😍 .. Yes.. The husband’s touch for this card is the heart in between the bees ❤️❤️

Whoa .. Am on a card making spree today!! Here goes the third card & last card – coz i ran out of bee die cuts 😉😉

I never use Patterned papers on my cards .. So patterned papers are the Husband’s touch here 😍 He chose papers (yellow flower design) & design for my third card .. I trimmed down the patterned paper from the same card kit to (5.25X4.00)” .. I also die cut a stitched circle using a black card stock .. Now arrange the card .. Quickest card ever – I should use more patterned papers

I adhered the patterned paper on my card base .. The remaining strip of the patterned paper was available .. So used the second side of the strip based on the design in the middle of the paper .. The stuck the circle using foam squares little towards the right side of the card . Finished the third card by placing the couple bees on black circle using foam squares 😀😀 Tada !!
