Thank you Bee

 

Hello everyone! Annalisa here sharing a thank you card featuring the Bee Happy stamp set and the coordinating dies for my DT card. I love how you can create bright and happy cards with this stamp set.

This card fits right in with the August T4T Summer mood board Challenge! Bee (I just had to!) sure to submit your card on the Challenge Blog for your chance to win! For each challenge, we will select a random winner to receive a £25.00 gift certificate to use at T4T! We will also select one winner to Guest Design for us the following month.

To start, I die cut some heavy white card stock with the Dotty Hearts Panel Die. I added this to a card base and set it aside to create the rest of the card.

I die cut a circle from black card stock using the Simple Circle Dies. I then used an older T4T stencil to create a honeycomb background with some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide. I cut another circle from this cardstock with the same die set. I of course used my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes to apply the Distress Oxide to the card base, they allowed me to get a softer feel on the edges.

I glued both circles to the dotty hearts panel with liquid glue. I then stamped, coloured (with my Copics) and die cut the bee and other elements. I added some highlights to all of the images with my white Gelly Roll Pen.

I used liquid glue to attach all of the elements, except for the bee, instead, I added an action wobbler to the back of the bee. I just love how this made the bee 'buzz' with movement.

For the sentiment, I used the 'thanks' from the "Thanks A Whole Bunch" which is an older T4T stamp set but you could certainly use the Be Kind Be You stamp set. I like using the older stamp and die sets with newer ones to get the most bang out of my supplies! I die cut the sentiment out with the Pandamonium Party coordinating die set.
