Dia Daoibh!
And now, onto my card... I used the adorable CCL Clear Stamp Bee Happy Friendz set—stamped with Memento Ink, then coloured with my trusty ProMarkers until every bee was beaming with personality. The wee bees are raised up on foam pads for that extra bit of dimension—because no bee should be flat when it can float fabulously. Since this cheerful creation is flying off to Norway, the sentiment proudly says Hei!—so it can greet its new home properly. I cut the letters from black card and layered them up like a stylish sandwich, ready to impress any Norwegian postie. To finish it all off, I gave the bees a glossy shine (because even insects deserve to feel fancy) and added iridescent glitter to their wings—because sparkle is mandatory in my craft room.
On to a few challenges:
- Dragonfly Dreams - July - Use Polygons
- Allsorts #827 - For a Child or Anything Goes
- Creative Fingers #305- Anything Goes
- Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers #264 - H is for Hot, Hot, Hot - (I used warm colours ;)
- Freshly Made Sketches #694 - Sketch:
I hope this card brings a smile as bright as a summer meadow and a little buzz of happiness when it lands.
