- White cardbase was also stamped with the same script stamp in Desert Sand. Then I just collected bits & pieces from the snippet pile, began placing them onto the cardbase. Underneath is another experimental stamping effort that failed to achieve what I wanted, so it got up into a smaller segment, and used here.
- Memory Box Bee die cut, vellum wings - used a combination of Glossy Accents & Ranger Diamond stickles to coat his wings. The little bee cut marvelously, but oh it was a pain to assemble him with tweezers. I kept dropping the tiny bits of black for the sripes. I had cut both a black & yellow bee, with the trim pieces for each color. Decided to go with the yellow body, add the black pieces. Black bits are hard to find when you drop 'em on the floor. I put a dash of glossy accents onto a cd palette, then added a bit of Diamond stickles into the G.A., swirled around with a toothpick, then painted my wings. I wanted the shine, but I also wanted some sparkles on the wings. IRL it looks pretty good.
- Lastly, used an MS punch on a snippet of blue dotted paper to make a border for the bottom edge to cover a bit of white that I didn't want to show. I left a small wedge of the white cardbase showing at the top, so that the Sand colored script would show. Snipped off the button back on an old swirly button that had colors that would look ok with this card. Gonna have to be a hand delivered card, as it's got too much 'surface' to try to mail, unless I use a small box of some kind. I'll put the sentiment on the inside I think.
I use the small size of pictures when I post, but double click and it should enlarge the picture so you can see the details. (Sometimes it might be best NOT to see the fine details...that's how I see boo-boos occasionally- LOL. On the positive side, then I can fix before I give the card to the recipient.)
Thanks for joining me today, and have a lovely, lovely Friday. Hugs
Lovely sunny card Mary! It won't open with a double click - but works with a single one for me here.
