Dear Ones~
Welcome
to summer, it's a HOT one here in Northern Michigan right now. There's a
new challenge up over at Double D, and this time it's BEES. Don't you just love bees? I do!!! This
is the Mood Board provided for our inspiration:
Here is my card:
This cover die is from a company called Kokorosa. I purchased it a long time ago and I can't tell you the name of the die. I cut it out with gold metallic card stock and paper pieced the patterned paper. So much fun!! I used some lovely paper from Panalisa Craft and the sweet little bumbles are from Hero Arts.
The Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
Tim Holtz Gold Metallic Card Stock
Panalisa Craft Honey flower Patterned Paper
Kokorosa Background Die
Hero Arts Beelieve Stamp and Die Bundle
SU Crushed Curry and Black Ink
Black Ranger Enamel Accents
If you head on over to the Double D Challenge Blog and
play along, you could win this adorable Sizzix Thinlets die set. Also, don't
forget to
check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.
So, until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED. ~judY
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!
This is stunning, Judy! I love the quilted look of this die and it looks amazing cut in gold with the patterns inlaid like you did. Truly a gorgeous card! Speaking of gorgeous cards, thanks so much for the wonderful birthday card you sent me. It is adorable as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FAB background 'puzzle maze' die, love it cut in gold too! Then paper piecing those pretty Designer Papers back in for the inlaid technique was a strike of genius! Love how you pulled the patterned out of the die cut! Great choice in papers too! And your bees....so plump with pollen! This is fantastic, my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Birgit saw the look of a quilt, but I thought it looked like a stained glass window. I really love the background paper that you used and mostly those big fat bumblebees. A fantastic card my friend.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL and very creative design idea! Love the papers you've used and those plumb little bees are my FAVORITE!! I have several cut, colored and ready to go when needed ... they are a great addition to any floral card. Awesome inspiration for our theme ... well done!
ReplyDeleteYou created a fab background for your card. All those lovely designpapers make it so nice. too.

Wow! That is so beautiful with the intertwining squares! Awesome design using the bee theme.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, I LOVE what you did with that cover die! It looks like stained glass to me, but the most fabulous stained glass ever. Brilliant to add the honeycomb in the center with the sentiment, and those bees are plump enough to make sure you know they are the stars of the card. A beauty, Judy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great die to use for this design. Wonderful creation and the DSP is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun grid that die is, Judy, and the patterned paper with the bees emphasizes those that are buzzing across your wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design, Judy! The gold metallic looks like the soldered frame around a piece of stained glass art. I love the paper piecing and texture on the bees and sparkly wings! Is that EP? Always inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome card this is and your background is beautifully pieced, and of course have to love those big plump bees (which I think I have and have never used)...yet!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a lovely image and great colors xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. That die is cool and the paper piecing just made this extra special.
