I thought of you today...

and SMILED!

My card today is for my DT Spotlight at Kitty Bee Designs

I am using this cute little Hunny Bear on a Branch

Here's my card...

I think this image, with a bear and bees is perfect for summer

I colored the image using my Copic markers: C-0, C-2, E11, E21, E33, E35, E37, Y02, Y08, Y15, YG06, YG09

I choose bright, cheery primary colors for my summer card...Green card base with a yellow honeycomb background created using a strip of white cardstock.  I ran that strip through my Cuttlebug using a honeycomb embossing folder.  The embossed piece was then sponged with yellow ink

I added a sentiment and finished with a pop of red with a banner and sequins

Make sure to check out the SHOP for other cute images

Thanks for coming by today, I hope you have enjoyed my card - Karen

I've Pollen for You...

New post today for my Whimsie Doodles Design Team Inspiration

I am using this sweet image called Pollen for You 

It can be found in the This and That section in the SHOP

More of a Valentine card, but what can be more summer than Bee's and Pollen?

My yellow A2 card base is layered with lighter yellow, cut with a honeycomb die pattern

This die set is called Distressed Baptisia Collage from Memory Box

There are 4 patterned corners to use, I couldn't wait to try the honeycomb on this card

Such a fun element for a card...Love it!

I colored the image using the following Copic markers:

 B00, C-1, C-3, C-5, G14, R22, R27, R29, Y08, Y15, Y17, YG00, YG06

Finishing touches: Sentiment banner, red button and twine

Bee Mine

Good morning...today I am posting my first SPOTLIGHT post as a Design Team member for Kitty Bee Designs

Here's my card, using this cute little Bee and sentiment from the Bumble Bee set #1 - Adorable!

Check out the blog for more inspiration using Kitty Bee Designs.  Make sure to click on the SHOP tab, which will take you to the Etsy shop where you can check out other cute images for sale.

I colored the image using, the following Copic markers:  Blender, B00, C-1, C-3, C-5, Y08, Y15, Y17

I did a little paper piecing on the bee, cutting out the top of the head and the body to give it a dimensional look. 

My card is standard A2 card, cut lengthwise, 11" x 4.25" with the fold along the top of  the 4.25" side.  I layered with black & pink heart patterned paper from a 6" x 6" pad from American Crafts called XOXO

I added a strip of black cardstock and framed the Bee behind the Postage Stamp die.  The sentiment was added to the Banner die and tucked underneath the frame.  Both dies from My Favorite Things.

To finish the card, I added hearts in coordinator shades of pink, using a Memory Box die set, called Stitched Heart Layers.  This was a FUN card and this little Bee makes me SMILE!
