Bee Awesome
When I saw what the challenge was over on the Allsorts Challenge blog this week (it's to use Yellow) I knew straight away what stamps I was going to use. I have fallen in love with the Pink Ink stamps and am now the proud owner of 11 of them. This is the first outing for not only this beautiful Bee but of any of the ones that I have.The bee is quite a focal point as the card base I used is 7x7. I stamped using a stamp platform just to make sure that I got a good image before changing to a smaller block to use some of the extra stamps in the set around the outside of the card. Then I stamped onto heat proof acetate for the wings using StazOn,, again I used the stamp platform for this as I find stamping onto acetate a bit tricky. Then I coloured in the back with a clear sparkle pen and left to dry before cutting out and sticking to the bee. I don't think you can tell that they are separate in this photo so next time I might just try a pale blue sparkle pen.

Beautiful bee on this card Sue, amazing yellows.
Just beautiful Sue and I keep reading about Pink Ink stamps yet know little about them so it will come as no surprise to know it's on my list to check them out at Ally Pally this weekend. Thanks so much for joining in our 'Use Yellow' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

I don't like bees very close to me in person, but I think they are the most gorgeous little creatures in art! I LOVE this one and how you have showcased him, Sue! The coloring is exactly like golden honey and I can just imagine the schparkle!! Hugs, Darnell
