Queen Bee

This Queen Bee card consists of an inked background teamed with a Jeanine's Art Buzzing Bees 3D Push Out. The black die cut is from Elizabeth Crafts Art Journal collection, and is called Honeycomb dots, and the letters are Trimcraft Bunting Alphabet.

The background is a piece of patterned paper (a sort of bright yellow brick wall) that I sprayed with the Distress Oxide sprays in Fossilized Amber and Spice Marmalade. I used the same colour ink pads and IndigoBlu's Queen Bee Mini stamp set, to add more texture to the background.

Thanks for looking, and feel free to click on the picture to see a video of how I created this.

Happy crafting,

White "Queen Bee" Card

Good morning!! Today I have an almost white-on-white card to share. There is a little yellow there for the bee, and to add a little to the background - but it's mostly white.

When I do white-on-white cards, I try to use a variety of textures and tones of white. Here, the base is a straightforward white card, onto which I have matted Centura Pearl Snow White - Hint of Silver and white hammered card. The yellow mats are just white stamping card with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide. I embossed the pearl square with an old Verity Rose embossing folder called Cupcake. The lacy detail is provided using a die called Rose Frame from the Romantic Roses collection by Precious Marieke, cut from white linen card.

And the gorgeous bee is an IndigoBlu mini stamp called "Queen Bee". She is stamped with Spectrum Noir Finesse Waterproof Ink in Flagstone, and the yellow is created using Scattered Straw as before. I have added glossy accents to her wings.

Take care and happy crafting!
