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.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Khloe's Handmade Birthday Card

Click on image to enlarge.

My granddaughter Khloe celebrated her 4th birthday this week. I made this card for her. 

This is how I made the card;

I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The pink background paper is from a Martha Stewart "Watercolor Sheets" Paper Pad. 

I die cut some stars (Sizzix star die 38-0154) from a blue sheet in the Martha Steward paper pad. I added some shimmer to the stars with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle (Crystal Clear) glitter pen.

I chose the digital stamp "Caitlin" from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored the image with Copic sketch markers. I lightly sponged around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. I mounted the image on a piece of kraft cardstock. 

I used the "Happy Birthday ER1007" rubber stamp from Stampabilities for the sentiment.

The gift tag on the bag was blank, so I printed "Khloe" on the tag.

I found a number "4" sticker in my stash and stuck it on the star in the lower right corner. I embellished the card with pink/white baker's twine.
