Morning, I saw a sketch on Alysons blog for the latest Atlantic Hearts challenge which I really liked-while in bed knitting I thought ooh I have some snippets of Bee paper so made this card. Paper from Crafters Companion, snippets of Bee paper from Creative World of Crafts, die-cuts from Spellbinders, Memory Box and Hero Arts, sentiment from Penny Black and ribbon bow from stash. I coloured the poppies to match some flowering in the garden at the moment.
Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

A lovely use of your snippets Carol. They've made a fab card with the yellow flower. You sound like me, I'm often thinking of how to make a card while doing something else :)

Love the way you chose the complimentary papers to go with the sketch - they add some great leyers to your sweet bee card. Thanks for playing along with the "Layers" challenge on the Dragonfly Dreams blog.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card! Your paper snippets really helped create such a beautiful design. And that sketch is simply perfect for it. Great bee-themed papers and a wonderful die-cut flower! It is such a delight to see those lovely bees fluttering around the flowers. And that oval die-cut is excellent for really making the individual elements stand out.

ReplyDeleteYour sweet Spring card is so lovely, Carol. The bees have been buzzing around for months now in Las Vegas. As I visit my parents here in Minnesota, it's still a bit cold and chilly but the sun is certainly trying to make an appearance. The geese up at the cemetery haven't hatched their little goslings yet, so we know Spring is still "happening" here. The A/C has been running non-stop back home. I'm enjoying these cooler temps here before I go back to the heat. Thanks for sharing this sweet card, and thanks so much for your visits to my blog. Your comments mean a lot. I appreciate you, Carol.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous and love the layout. Thanks for sharing at JUGS
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. I have that die and only ever cut it in red as a poppy. Thanks for showing me how well it works in another colour. Thanks for joining my theme at Cardz4galz. Love Dawn x
