Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Mervi of
Make it Cute
With 2 prizes each of two House Mouse stamps
Cute? I didn't know what to do for my mid month card, so I went with digital stamps and found this little HoneyBee, who I love, but haven't used before, although I had him in 2017. Anyhow, I had some hexagon dies, and I decided on this digital image of a House dripping in honey for the background. However, I decided it would overwhelm him, so I added plain vellum over it to dilute the strong colour it has, then cut both with the die. They were attached with a spot of glue on each corner.
I looked through more dies to see if I had one I could emboss, and this was the closest to a hexagon. It was embossed, the hexagon was attached, then I thought another hexagon for the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment, then thought, it needed some honey mess around the edge of the layer. I didn't mean for so much, but went with it. Both were added to the embossed card and attached to the base card.
Honeybee was cut in 3 layers with Silhouette. I then coloured him with DI's. I added some glitter pen to him and his wings. He was then added to the card, I decided he required some companions, so I found some bee stamps, coloured them and added glitter pen, fussy cut them and placed them onto the card.
