I have a fun card to share today using the FREE 'Bee' Digi stamp from Paper Smooches , available on the blog , it's a great way to start playing with the cute images drawn by Kim Hughes and being Digi they can be re-sized .
I needed to make a nest for the swarm to live in so a quick look at my stamps and the carrot from the 'Vegtastic' set jumped out at me .
I use a Memento marker pen to selectively ink the carrot without his face and top , then I used leaves to hide the un-inked edge and hung it from a branch .
The Hero Arts cloud background stamp works well with these fun images as does Kraft card .
The little bees were tricky to colour and even more of a nightmare to cut out but it was well worth all the fiddle :)
Pop over and see who else has been spotted on PS patrol too :)
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments about my cards they really make my day to read them all, glad you dropped by X

You have a warped mind to think of a carrot as a bee hive Jenny and that's what makes you such an inspiration! This is an absolute triumph! Vx Oh and congratulations on having your card featured on PS Patrol!

ReplyDeleteSaw your cards posted on the Paper Smooches blog! Darling bee card and super-duper cute bird feeder w/squirrel card! I tend to look at my stamps and dies outside the box, and I so like to see how other crafters view and use their stamps in different ways, as well! :)
