Billy Boy with Honey Bees Card

Billy Boy with two lovely sunflowers and honey bees.

My husband is a beekeeper so I love to make cards with bees on them. 

This is a wonderful all-occasion card that should brighten the day of a lucky recipient.

Please click on the picture below to enlarge it.

This card measures 5" by 6.5".

I used the digital stamp "Billy Boy" designed by Maurie J. Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil. This image was presented to Ms. Manning's Patreon supporters for Valentine's Day. It came with the sentiment "Bee My Valentine".

I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers. The background paper is from the "Que Sera Sera" scrapbooking paper pad by K&Company. I finished the card with a die-cut sentiment and a butterfly sticker from my stash.

I will enter this card in the following challenge:

Sunflower Baby Birthday Card

The sunflower is a perfect background for this cheerful summer birthday card.

This handmade card measure 5" by 7". The base is a blank cream-colored Strathmore greeting card. I was lucky enough to find an entire box of these blank cards at a thrift shop for a very reasonable price. 

I chose the digital stamp Sunflower Baby from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock using my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and Windsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush Markers. I used a round die with pierced edges to cut out the image with my die cutting machine.

I chose the digital background paper from the beautiful Sunflower Digital Junk Journal Kit by CalicoCollage on Etsy. I love to use digital collage papers for the background on my cards. The altered library card was included in this journal kit. I used a rub-on for the "Happy Birthday!" sentiment.

I completed the card with a pretty bow made of blue/white bakers twine.
