As I'm writing this (on Thursday - the first full day of spring), it's blizzarding here. Again. We've had a crazy over-abundance of snow this winter, the drifts are so high it's become hard to shovel, even for my 6 foot 3 inch husband. So, I have to create spring in card form yet again! But I have to say I love this one! I stamped the honey bee skep from Flourishes Bee My Honey set onto Flourishes Classic White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I die cut it with these great Hexagon Spellbinders MADE for a project just like this :). The colouring was very fun, and I have a long list of copics I used.
I paired the pretty honey scene with some papers from MME - Unforgettable, which has that awesome honeycomb pattern. I cut out some of the honeycomb design on one of the sheets to make a border along the bottom and also to accent the top left. Then a little teal blue seam binding, sunflower buttons and twine to make it pretty...then a wee sentiment flag stamped with Memento Teal Zeal. The cardstock is Color Made Easy Sunflower and Emerald Coast.
I hope my little taste of spring makes you feel the joy today!
