Penny Black Inc - Bee-u-tiful

Hello friends, thanks so much for visiting.  It is always nice to have  little change of pace - and you could not get much more whimsical thank this bee - I am sure you would agree! 


The bee is from Penny Black Inc. - you can find the whole set here -  cute as a bug! clear stamp set.  I have stamped the image onto white card stock using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured it using Chameleon Art Products/Pens - I love the way these pens give such a great variation of colour in the one pen - so quick and easy!


The image has been cut/embossed using A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies and the  Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine – 6″ Platform.  A negative Die from the Curved Matting Basics B has been adhered over the image to create a frame.  The card front has been popped up onto the pre-cut card base, using Crafty Foam Tape.


Cut/emboss four small corners from the Shapeabilities Opulent Flourish Accents Rouge Royale by Stacey Caron Etched Dies using yellow card stock.  Adhere one to each corner using liquid glue.  The sentiment from the happy snippets transparent stamp set has been stamped using Imagine Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black and cut/embossed using the Shapeabilities Opulent Flourish Accents Rouge Royale by Stacey Caron Etched Dies.  The Die has been used as a stencil, sponging inside the cutting edges using Dandelion ink and a Sponge Dauber.  Pop this up onto the card front using 3D Foam Squares.

Add a yellow Seam Binding bow to the top of the card and a crochet flower to the centre of the bow.
