BEE-utiful Spring Day

Hello and Welcome!

 Spring is in the air, and I have a buzz-worthy card to share with you today!

This card was inspired by the bees that are starting to buzz around my garden.

AND! my hope for giant flowers this growing season!


This card features The Super fun Beekeeper Newton and the
NEW Hyacinth stamp set.

I started off this card with blue card stock cut into a standard card front shape.

To add interest to the blue sky in the background I splattered 

on a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.



Next, I used sage green card stock, and the Sea Borders Die Set to create my “grass hill.”

I cut my hill using the dye upside down, using the smooth side of the dye,

no stitching and avoiding the wave at the edge.



A brushing of Bundled Sage Distressed Oxide at the top of the hill gives the hill some depth.

Now that my background and grass are done, I stamped and colored my images.



I laid my Hyacinth on the card and measured from the bottom up.



Since the two stamp sets have different dimensions, I want to make

sure my grass hill and large flowers look as natural as possible.

Once I was happy with my measurements, I glued my Hyacinth’s down

on the front of my card and then glued the grass hill over the top.

Next step was to stamp my sentiment on above the Hyacinth’s

Then I placed my beekeeper and beehive on the front of the card.

Finally, I added all my bees buzzing around my giant Hyacinth.



 Thanks for stopping by

Stay crafty, my friends!
