Moving Along with the Times Challenge blog - the theme is Bugs

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I am having quite a quiet week which is great for catching up on crafty makes of one sort or another. The following couple of weeks are going to be rather busy.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at the Moving Along with the Times Challenge blog and this time the theme is Bugs. By this we mean any type of insect.

I wanted to make an Valentine's Day card for my husband and I found inspiration from a  cushion in Next. I go there often it is an easy walk from our house and they have a Costa. What's not to like?  Any way back to the cushion it had bees and a heart on it. I tried making a felted bee but I didn't like what I made so I bought some dies instead.


For the background I used the Honeycomb Haven embossing folder from Creative Expressions. It seemed appropriate. My backing paper was another inky kitchen roll creation. 
 I added the honeycomb die that came in the Dovecraft Bee Happy Premium Die Collection to the background. 


The theme of this times challenge is Bugs. Even butterflies and dragonflies count. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the blog. 


The heart die was one designed by Leonie Pujol for Crafter's Companion. The Bee Happy came from the Dovecraft set. 


I think this bee die is fabulous and this what prompted me to buy the Dovecraft die set. All the other dies were a bonus. 


My husband did like his card on Valentine's Day. In fact we have only just put it away. 

Enjoy the rest of the week

    A super card Jackie. Believe it or not I have just bought this die set when I was at the NEC today! As soon as I saw it I wished I had it in time for the challenge - and then blow me, I have just logged on and found your gorgeous card using the very same set! At least I know how good it can look when cut out. Hugs Christine x
