I used:
- an A6 white card blank, side opening
- snippet of white card measuring 5.5" x 3.5" for the image
- stamped the image and sentiment using a Clair 'Nocturne' ink pad and two stamps from the 'Foxglove and Bees' stamp set by Creative Expressions
- coloured the foxglove using Polychromos pencils and tickled the bees' wings with clear 'Wink of Stella'
- snippet of 'Soft Amethyst' satin mirror card measuring 5.75" x 3.75", which I glued onto the white card blank front
- then just popped a few SU gems in the bottom right hand corner to finish off
I've hesitated to use this new stamp set for ages, yet it was a breeze to colour in the end!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Allsorts Challenge #851 HERE - the theme is 'Anything Goes from the Garden, just perfect!
- Darnell's NBUS Challenge #87 HERE - the foxglove and bees stamp set is my NBUS
That's a fabulous card!

It so pretty and a wonderful sentiment. Thanks for taking part at Allsorts challenge.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully colored card, Di. Love it and the sentiment too. Hugs to you and Dudley.
ReplyDeleteThis beautifully coloured foxglove is so pretty with the two bees buzzing around it Di, and the sentiment is the perfect finishing touch together with the coordinating gems. No terrible heat now but rain instead...poor Dudley. x
ReplyDeleteI love this, Di! I can hear the hum of the happy bees with schparkle on their wings! Your coloring is perfect! I've had a few stamps like that and then when I finally make a card with them, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that the awful heat has broken and I hope the rain ends soon. xoxo Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
