Happy Tuesday, peeps! The sketch from Atlantic Hearts always inspires me and this week is no exception!
I recently got some really pretty bee-themed papers, and I also just got the Queen Bee set (it's still available through Online Exclusives) so I thought I would use them together to make a card thanking our guest minister for his amazing message on Sunday! So here we go:
I stamped, watercolored and fussy-cut the bee; although it's hard to see, the background of the leaves is Crumb Cake, the the florals are Crushed Curry:
She is mounted on a diecut piece of Brushed Gold cardstock and the card is embellished with some Metallic Gold pearls. The sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Farmhouse Scriptural Thoughts. In case you'd like to recreate the sketch, here are the measurements I used:
Top left panel: 2" x 2 1/8"
Top middle panel: 1 3/4" x 2 1/8"
Top right panel: 1 1/8" x 2 1/8"
Bottom horizontal panel: 1 3/8" x 5 1/8"
Very Vanilla mat: 4 x 5 1/4"
Very Vanilla sentiment banner: 1" x 5", and I hand-cut the fishtails at each end
Thanks so much for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24
