Hello friends,
Welcome back! Today I am sharing a card I made for Elizabeth Craft Designs. This is the very first time using water color markers so be gentle with me :-) My hubby adores bumble bees since he is a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket fan so when he saw this a big smile came over his face. I hope it brings you a bit of happiness as well.
Everyone needs a little motivation at times and I think this "Reach for the Stars" card will being that for the recipient.
Above is a close up of the coloring. This will be a learning curve for me as I have never used water colors before. I think it turned out decent for my very first try.
Directions for this card:
Step 1:
Cut a A2 size card base from yellow card stock. (4.25" x 11" scored and folded in half)
Step 2:
From a floral piece of paper cut a card front measuring 4.25" x 5.5" and adhere to the card front.
Step 3:
Cut and yellow layer of card stock at 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and attach to card base using foam tape.,Next cut and emboss a white layer (5" x 3 3/4") with the "Bees" embossing folder. Attach to yellow layer.
Step 4:
Stamp the "Honey Bear", bear and tree branch stamps onto water color paper and color using watercolor markers, or medium of your choice.
Step 5:
Stamp "Reach for the Stars" Sentiment from the "Dream Sentiment Clear Stamp Set" and create a square shaped sentiment using a yellow scalloped square for added interest.
Step 6:
Adhere both of the colored images as well as the sentiment to the card front using foam tape.
Sit back and enjoy your card... it is sure to make anyone smile!
