Bee happy in the garden!

Today I am sharing my midway post for

STAMPING SENSATIONS challenge with optional theme

in the garden.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us!

A while back I won this lovely stamp set from Woodware called

Decorative Bee and thought it would be perfect for this challenge.

I started off by using my foursquare decorative mask for the background

in Lemon Lime twist. I then stamped the dangling leaves and flowers

from the stamp set in black and coloured them in.

Next came the bee. I stamped part of him in the corner of my

card and coloured him up. I stamped the body twice so I could 3d him.

I then stamped the sentiment and added some twice beneath it.

The bee has had some wink of stella added for sparkle and I stuck

some sequins to the top, here and there, for added texture.

I started off making these angled card fronts using my scraps

and liked the design so much I did some Christmas ones

as well.

They are so easy and quick to make, nice and flat for posting

and BONUS, they use up your scraps!

I even finished off the insides like this one, changing

the colours and wording for the Christmas ones.

I do have a video tutorial over in Pinky's Stamping World on Facebook HERE.

Animal tag!

I have made another tag for my challenge theme ANIMALS

over at TAG TUESDAY.

I was lucky enough to win a challenge recently and I got to choose

two images from Hetty Clare designs.

I choose this ready coloured on. It's called

The Hamster Flower and it's super sweet!

I printed it off the size I wanted, backed onto some melon mambo card

and then stamped the sentiment from Timeless Arrangements stamp set

 and layered up to fit along the side.

I finished with a die cut bow in card.

Still a few days left to get your tag made.

Come and join in the fun.

Hey Chuck

 I have another tag for my challenge theme ANIMALS

over at TAG TUESDAY.

I have gone with Hey Chuck again, made a background

using stamps and embossing paste and stencils.

I stamped the fence and chicken, colouring them

then cutting them out to add to the tag.

I finished with a cut out sentiment and a piece of

ribbon stapled in place.

It was a fun tag to make for sure.
