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!
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!
