Hello Peeps! I always have a hard time getting back to crafting after a lazy weekend. Do you feel like that, or is it just me?
I was looking for challenges to motivate me, and I picked PTI's Make It Monday #56-Die cutting partial images. I thought it was a really neat technique, and something that I could do to add something to my card. I was looking at my dies (and wanted to use the same die Betsy used in her video, but figured I should challenge myself and find something else). So I picked Rosie Posie Die Collections instead.
Recipe: Rosie Posie and Honey Bees clear stamp sets... Rosie Posie Die Collection... So Saffron, Bashful Blue card stock and Vellum (SU!)... So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Blushing Bride, and Early Espresso classic ink pads and VersaMark (SU!)... Copic Markers... Clear embossing powder... Baker's Twine, Pearls...
The colors came from {Embellish Magazine}-Spring Color Trends Challenge. I did not make a typical Spring card, but I see bees and pretty flowers when I think of Spring.
Thanks for visiting!
Monika

Fabulous card - it's got it all! I love the leaves as the partially-cut piece topped by your beautifully colored flower, the vellum layer and especially the bees! It's gorgeous!
