Hello Stampers ~ I played with The Bees from Dragonfly Dreams for my creation today.
I have the whole day today to play. I will be cleaning my bathrooms but then I can play. I need make some videos for this week as well as next week. Hopefully I will get quite a few videos recorded so I am prepared for the next few weeks. I am planning on highlighting retiring products over the next 2 weeks and then I will share some new products with you. Are you curious about the new products? Let me know what you want to see and if I have it I will make sure to include it so you can see it.
We have our Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge today. This week we have a great sketch.
When I saw this I thought of flowers for the sweep of dots with some designer series paper for the flag element. I began by cutting my piece of Whisper White for the panel. Once I got it cut I realized it was way to small to work. Then I thought of bees. I knew there were bees in the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. I pulled out the set and put the bees onto blocks. I began by stamping the back panel with the bees all over in different directions using Crushed Curry. I then stamped the top of the bees using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I pulled out my clear Wink of Stella and colored the wings of the bees. This panel was added to a Crushed Curry card base. I decided to use the Hexagons embossing folder and Crushed Curry card stock for the flag element. After I embossed it, I attached it to the card base using Tear & Tape. Now to address the top panel. I was going to use the bees from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set but they were too big for the look I was attempting achieve. I went looking and found a smaller bee in the Touches of Texture stamp set. I stamped it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in a pattern mimicking the pattern on the sketch. I used a Crushed Curry marker to color in the bees. This panel was mounted onto a piece of Basic Black panel. This panel was added to the card base using dimensionals. There was a horizontal strip I need to add so I took a piece of Crushed Curry and embossed it with the Hexagons embossing folder. I flagged the end of the strip using the Banner Triple punch. This was added to the right hand side of the card using Tear & Tape and dimensionals. To finish off the card some Gold Metallic Shapes. Here is my Hand Stamped Sentiments The Bees from Dragonfly Dreams creation.
