Paper Smooches Sparks Designer Drafts Challenge

 

This week is a sketch to follow closely or loosely. I have bees on the mind lately or is just the nearest paper pack on my desk? I stamped out the flower from Bold Blooms in that Butter Bar Ink from Hero Arts. I  am loving this color because it is not so yellow but  a nice warn orangey yellow while not being orange(Makes sense right!). At any rate I was inspired by this stamp to put my ink to use. The bee is stamped then paper pieced on top...so happy! He is colored a bit with Copic to blend in with the flower. Using pop dots for the long piece and on the small top banner.

OWH Sketch 155: B- Day

 

 

 

 

 

OWH Sketch 155

I used the Bee theme for a birthday card today. Since I was at the desk made some extra cards as well. For strip across I went with the banner of tiny little bees. My big sticker bee was originally a very bright glaring yellow so out came the Copics to color tone that down to match the paper better.

 

On second cards I used the patterned paper of horizontal strips and cut it till patterned repeated itself. This piece of 6x6 paper only had one sunflower so I made it the main point of interest with the twine bow. Also when cutting the paper to fit I had to cut on each side of the paper to help the flower remain centered.

Sports or Exercise

What a crazy fun challenge. I do not have thing to do with exercise ..umm stamps that is. So here I am back in the craft area and the local NFL play offs are here (San Fransisco 49ers) so....more crafty time for me (the husband is not paying any attention to me, watching the big game) So in honor of my happy time I made a sports card to root on the home team (more football more happy time:). I went bold and used the team colors (gold and red). This card will sent out to one of my 49er relatives who will love it for sure (not ones living near Green Bay).

A Card with No Sentiment

Do Dry Embossing

I am making lots of love cards, it is the season besides they are very useful to donate because everyone whats to send love...even better receive it:).  That fish tail banner is really a wine tag die with the bottle ring cut off at the top area. Then a small scallop on the side to help break up a bit of that color. I hope you can see the embossing on the base card but it is there.
