Pink coneflower with bee


 Here is the last pink coneflower, with a curious bee.  This is a larger format card, with more Distress Oxide Ink blending and gold splatter on the flower and leaves.

Do you think it needs bling?  What kind?

Birthday flowers



These birthday flowers are from the Lovely Layers Wildflowers dies from Honey Bee Stamps. The white panel on the top card is embossed with a folder from Spellbinders, "Garden Path", which was the embossing folder of the month for March 2022. The white panel on the bottom card is cut from a Spellbinders' die "Fluted Edges".

 

Happy Mother's Day, all you moms!

 


It's hard to see in the photo, but the coneflower and the leaves are splattered with gold. The birthday sentiment does double duty. It reads, "You're one of my most favorite people to celebrate".  

The coneflower is from a die from Honey Bee Stamps, inked up with Distress Oxides and splattered with gold paint. The sentiment is also from Honey Bee Stamps.  The MOM letters are cut with Lawn Fawn's Finley's ABCs.

It's May, it's May, the lovely month of May

 


Here, I was having fun color-dipping the layers of this coneflower die from Honey Bee Stamps.  The layers are cut with Spellbinders' Fluted edge dies and the rusty red mat is embossed with a Spellbinders' embossing folder.  I the "hello" die is from MFT, called "Hello There".  Who needs the "there" part anyway??

The card below is made with one of my 5 x 6.5 card bases, using paper from a Michael's 12 x12 pad.  The lovely butterfly is from Honey Bee Stamp's Lovely Layers Bugs.  I'm really loving that die set.  You can't tell by the photo, but the wings are cut from holographic silver cardstock.
