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. 

One more lily, one shiny sunflower

 

I did one more Easter card, and then played with yellow and orange mica sprays on sunflower petals.

My favorite part was the bee, actually. His wings are velum.  I'll be back with more bugs!

Hip Hop, Hooray!

 Here we go, some mini-slimline cards in Crafty Al's Sheetload style for April 2022.  Each month she gives a cutting guide and layout for a bunch of cards with no scraps.  Yay.

Here I used Honey Bee stamps' paper with Spellbinders' bunnies and sentiments.

Welcome spring with bunnies!

 Spellbinders small die of the month features this cute swinging bunny.  The official title is Floating Bunny, but I like swinging better. The swing cables are actual natural twine.
