Stampin with Liz Design: To Bee or Not To Bee Blog Hop!

Hi there everyone! Today I'm excited to be a part of the To Bee or Not to Bee Blog Hop! Today my card is all about bees! Today a bunch of talented crafters are hopping to celebrate the 3rd World Bee Day! Make sure you hop along all the participants, which you can find at the end of this post! World Bee Day is all about saving and bringin awareness about the importance of the bees! You can check the World Bee Day site for more information about these amazing creatures!

I created a card with the gorgeous bees from the Best Bugs stamp set from Create a Smile stamps! I just love the cute little guys! I started this card with a white card base in A2 size (which is approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). I diecutted a soft pink frame with a stitched scalloped rectangle die and placed dimensionals behind this frame. I then started working on blending a fun background for these cute fellows! I masked my white card base in to a frame, which would be just behind my pink panel and blended a blue sky using a blending tool, Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink from Ranger.

I then blended a piece of white cardstock with Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink from Ranger and diecutted this piece with the Grassy Edges die from Mft stamps. I love adding splatters on to my blended parts, it's such a fun effect! I added this piece just behind the pink frame. I then stamped the word Bzzz from the stamp set on to my background. I added the diecutted words Bee Happy to my card in soft pink and yellow colours. I then stamped the cute bees and flowers from the stamp set, fussy cutted them and coloured them with Copic Markers. I added these images on to this fun spring card using dimensionals!
