Hi All!
Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #257, the 6th of July 2025 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.
Here is my card:
I chose Spring Bumble Bee, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and die cut with the Double Stitched Rectangles Die from La-La Land Crafts, before colouring with the following Copics markers:
- skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
- eyes - B16, white gel pen
- hair/yellow - Y13, Y15, Y19, E13,YR24
- crown - Y26, Y28
- wings - B000, B00, B01
- flower - RV63, RV55, RV66, YR23, YR27, E35, Y15
- background - G40, G43, colourless blender
As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.
To add a little sparkle, I used ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust on the wings, crown, flower and then the trails. It was the first time I used it and I think I was a little heavy handed! The wings of the bee took a while to dry!
Here is a close up of the colouring, after I added the Pixie Dust:
To finish the card, I used the Honeycomb Stencil Set from the Winnie the Pooh Release earlier in the year by La-La Land Crafts with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.
Here is a photo of the card after I stencilled it:
Before adhering the image to the card, I stamped the sentiment from Just Bee-Cause Clear Stamp Set also from La-La Land Crafts using Nautical Blue Memento ink.
