We're Meant to Bee! | Mixing Card Making Techniques

Happy Monday!

I'm starting out this week with a card I created for my 

Craft Roulette Episode #324 submission.

All products used are from from Pajama Crafter Stamps, except the solid card stocks and inks.

 I had so much fun putting this card together using several techniques.

To start, I had the parameters to meet.

Easel project is easy enough. I enjoy making easel cards!

The colors are easy. Endless really!

But I wasn't quite sure what to do with table & bug(s) or inscrts.

So I perused my Pajama Crafter Stamps supplies and a light bulb went off!!!

I would create an outdoor scene with the 2 bears from

Bruno Bee Keeper Stamps!

This set also has bees, of course, so the insect parameter is met.

And, it's fairly easy to make a table out of cardstock, right?

So, with a plan in mind, I got to work!

I stamped the bears, bees, flowers and honey pot and jar from the stamp set,

colored them up with pencils and fussy cut.

Now, to create my scene, I first die cut the background panel out of

white cardstock and a layering panel in yellow.

The Sunburst Stencil is great to use for an outdoor scene, so

I stenciled the upper right corner with yellow and blue.

The rest of the sky was filled in with blue as well.

I added green inking to the bottom.

 Awesome Sauce was used to help with smooth blending.

I had a left over piece of patterned paper from the

Spring Plaids Paper Pad that I used as a mat for my die cut background.

And, I thought it would make a great table cloth for my table.

That piece was cut with an oval die on the lower edge and 

all I had to do was add some card stock strips for legs.

I also had a piece of left over patterned paper from 

Savanna Neutrals Paper Pad and decided to dress the bears in outfits with it.

I put my little table scene together beneath the sun and added bees and flowers.

For the easel card stopper, I stamped the "Happy Anniverary" sentiment from

Mix & Match Celebration Sentiments and die cut with Banner Die Set.

The banner was layered with a solid strip of card stock and a patterned paper strip.

Dimension was achieved with foam tape.

I also added a decorative element cut with the Scalloped Circle Die.

So, I used stamping, coloring, die cutting, stenciling, inking and paper piecing

all together with the Craft Roulette parameters for this one of a kind card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope I've provided a little bit of inspiration for you.
