Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! Today I would like to share with you how I created this Honeybee Thank You card for the Global Design Project #GDP346. This week we have a sketch/layout challenge.
I really enjoy a sketch/layout challenge. You can copy it exactly or as loosely as you choose. Turn it on its head or just make a subtle change. The possibilities are endless.
Honeybee Thank You Card
For this card I will be using the Honeybee Home stamp set and Amazing Thanks dies.
Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, from Sahara Sand cardstock and adhere a Basic White Layer, measuring 10.3cm x 14.7cm, to the front. Trim a piece of So Saffron cardstock to 10cm x 14.4cm and emboss using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.
Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, die cut the third largest rectangle from Basic White cardstock and lightly blend So Saffron ink to the middle, using a Blending Brush. Take a Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write Marker and gently flick the brush nib on the edge of the lid. This will give a light splattering of ink to your rectangle.
Adhere your stitched rectangle to your embossed So Saffron cardstock, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Wrap Linen Thread twice around and tie with a bow on the lefthand side. Adhere to your card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Die cut your thanks sentiment from Basic White cardstock and the coordinating backing in Sahara Sand cardstock. Layer together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and adhere to your card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp several bees, using Basic Gray ink, onto Basic White cardstock. Colour using Light Pool Party, Light So Saffron and Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Die cut using the coordinating dies and adhere to your card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Finishing Touches
To finish your card, add Wink of Stella to your bee wings and several pearlescent white Elegant Faceted Gems.
