Hello, Terri here! Today I am sharing a cute Honey Bee-themed birthday card using Lawn Fawn products.
I started by Creating the Bee for my focal point. I used the Build-A-Bunny and Build-A-Critter Bug Costumes. I die cut the elements from coloured cardstock and adhered them with liquid glue. I wanted to add a big jar of honey for the bee to sit next to, to do this I used the Build-A-Drink Mason Jar Add-on and Build-A-Drink Mason Jar Jam and Honey Add-on. I added a layer of Heat Resistant Acetate over the top of the jar to give the look of glass. I then stamped the word HONEY on the label using the Jam and Honey Sentiments.
To create the background I used the Cloudy Stencil to add some puffy clouds to a piece of white card, I used a soft blue ink and a medium blending brush to gently add the ink. Next I added splatters using both Liquid Stardust and Gansi Tambi Watercolours.
I set the background aside to dry and focused on the sentiments. I white heat embossed sentiments from the Henry's Build-A-Sentiment Honey Bee onto black cardstock and then trimmed them down into 4 sections.
To bring everything together, I added a piece of patterned paper from the Favourite Flannel Fall 6x6 Paper Pad to a white A2 notecard. I trimmed the background to measure 3.75" by 5" and added it to the card. At this point I realised I needed something to ground my focal images, so I cut a hill using the Simple Hillside Border Dies from white card and added some light green ink blending. Once I added this to the card, I then placed the Honey Jar and Bee sat on the hill and placed 3 flowers around them to emebllish. I then placed the sentiments in the sky using Foam Strips.
I love how this card turned out, the cute bee and the stark black sentiment strips, sitting against a soft sky create a really nice look. Thank you for stopping by today.
