For last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project, the design used the new Iconic Dies from the Annual Catalogue.
This project was quite busy and had a lot of fussy cutting. I think the attendees will be speaking to me again next week!
Sticking with my not using pink for a while theme, my colour combination had a purple feel with Highland Heather and Blackberry Bliss. The leaves are Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce. Obviously Bumblebee and Basic Black create the bee.
A background using one of the Square Vellum Doilies is stuck down. Carefully placing adhesive where it won’t be seen later, under the flowers.
The dies give quite intricate shapes, so the more solid flower shapes are made by drawing round the outline and cutting out by hand. These pieces are then stuck together.
Coordinating Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon is attached, along with a sentiment from the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set. This is stamped in Gorgeous Grape, another purple.
Wink of Stella is used on the centre of the flowers and all over the smaller flowers, plus on the bee wings.
All the leaves and flowers are stuck down. Some with Glue Dots, others with Dimensionals to raise them up.
For the bee, a piece of a Daisy Punch shape in Basic Black is stuck behind to create the stripes. I’ve then used a Stampin’ Write Marker in Basic Black to colour the legs and antennae. It is then stuck down using Dimensionals.
Finally, some coordinating Pastel Pearls are dotted around the project.
