Bee Happy Handmade Card

 

This handmade card features the retiring digital stamp "Baby Fairy Bee" designed by Maurie J. Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil.

I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and used a stencil to make the honeycomb pattern in the background.

The die-cut sentiment is from the "Bee Happy" Thinlits dies by Sizzix. The small bee die-cuts are from the "Spring Things" Thinlits dies by Sizzix.

I embellished the card with two small paper flowers with faux pearl centers.

Hello Baby Fairy Bee Card

Happy first day of spring!

I made this card to celebrate the end of winter and the anticipation of warm, sunny days to come.

This is how I made the card:

I started with a blank kraft greeting card that measures 5" by 6 1/2".

I used the cover page from the Vintage Queen Bee printable journal kit from Ephemeras Garden on Etsy for my background design. I printed the page on white cardstock with my HP Envy Photo 7855 printer. I love the HP Instant Ink program!!!

I used the Baby Fairy Bee digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Promarkers and Copic Sketch markers. I love to mix and match my alcohol markers.

I mounted the color image on a die cut square and completed the card with a die cut "hello" sentiment.

I hope this card made smile. I will enter it in the following challenges;

Father's Day Card for The Beefather

Click on image to enlarge.

I want to wish all fathers a very Happy Father's Day!

I made this card for my husband. He is a wonderful father, grandfather and husband. He is also a great "beefather" to our new hive of honeybees. Bee keeping is a fascinating hobby and an excellent way to help the environment. 

This is how I made this card:
I started with a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background paper is "Honey Comb Hexagonal Digital Papers" from PrettyGrafikDesign on Etsy.

The honey bee paper is "Honey Bee Digital Paper" from Kitty Papers on Etsy.

I chose the digital stamp "Baby Fairy Bee" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I sponged some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Old Paper) around the edges of the image.

I attached the sentiment above the fairy image and finished the card by tying a piece of nubby green yarn around it.
