Good morning and a very happy Thursday. A new month is always time for a new challenge at Country View Crafts, and this time it's been chosen by yours truly. As we are now into Spring, I've gone with "The Birds and the Bees"
I'm ashamed to say that these stamps have never been inked, so now seemed a very good time to remedy that. They really do stamp beautifully.
They were coloured with Distress Markers, something that I don't use as often as I should. These yellow and orange tones were perfect for this piece.
Finally, I just cut the centre from the card with an octagon die, and layered it up.
I hope you join in with our fun challenge, just feature birds and/or bees as the main focus of your piece.
Take care, and thanks so much for looking x
Fabulous piece, Sue, love the colours, too. Have a great day, stay safe, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for this challenge theme, which is a real favorite of mine. I love the way you've used the beehive paper to create some of the cells, the overall design and the detail of the stitching! Thank you so much for your inspiration and for your visit to my blog, too! Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous - I love all the white space it really sets off the design.

ReplyDeleteLove this theme Sue, your card makes me think of all the positions those sweet bee's get into to tend to the hive. Great use of all those awesome crafty goodies and I love the colour combo too..
