Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
How was your weekend? Was is hot like ours? On Saturday our daughter and son-in-law came with afternoon tea. Even now we still have leftovers and we sent them home with some bits too. On Sunday we had a quiet day. Being so hot it was hard to do much.
I treated myself to a copy of Die-Cutting Essentials magazine a couple of weeks ago. I really like the honeycomb background die that came free with the magazine.
I have lots of Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. The brushes are now damaged and are hard to colour with. The pens are still full of ink. I have taken to making backgrounds with them. The colours are lovely and the extra bit of sparkle is nice.
I used the Tatty Daisy die with the Rose Leaves from the John Next Door die range to make the flowers across the middle of the card. I added Candi to the centre of the flowers.
Here is the background die from the magazine. The bee I won as a prize. The heart in the corner comes from the back of the bee.
This sentiment comes from a Dovercraft die set. I have used it a lot this summer. I do love putting bees on cards.
I was pleased with how this card turned out. I am very pleased with the background die. It is a useful addition to my bee related die collection.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Have a great week.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
