Bee Happy .....

Everyone wants to Be Happy especially at the moment with Lockdown !  Made this card....

I started with a 6 x 6 inch white cardblank. I took a square of watercolour card and stamped this with a bee stamp (Pink Paislee) in Archival black ink. This was coloured with Watercolour brushpens and the wings and body stripes glazed with a Gelly Roll clear glaze pen. I then took a die and die-cut around the bee with a hexagon honeycomb die. I trimmed this to be uneven and coloured with yellow watercolour. Some of the die waste was retrieved and also coloured n orange watercolour.

I  then selected a piece of printed paper  and matted this on blue and beige card. The bee image was mounted on foam pads and the waste pieces applied on the paper underneath the honeycomb.

A few yellow sequins were applied with Glossy Accents and the matts attached to the cardbase to finish.

Sunday Challenge No 3

Here are my 9 'inchies' done for the UK Stampers Sunday Challenge No 3. The challenge was based on the Olympics, sports & medals.

I found this one difficult really because I don't have a lot of sporty type stamps. I decided to use watercolour board as a base and then thought about the colours of the Olympic rings as a starter.

I first coloured the backgrounds with Whispers dye ink in Turquoise, Red & Green direct to paper. Then stamped in onyx black Versafine a selection of stamps from a 'boys toys' See D's set.

I first edged each of the inchies with Versamark and dipped them in Tequila Sunrise EP from Joanna Sheen, heating to melt with a heat gun. Then I stamped stars with Versamark and EP's in Copper, Silver & Gold to represent the Olympic medals.

So I did try to capture the colours of the Olympic Rings - Cyan, Green, Red, Yellow & Black plus the metallics of the medals.

Hope you like them ! :)
