Hap-bee Birthday

This is my post on the
Sparkle N Sprinkle blog today.

Hi There, Diane with you today!

I have a fun shaker card to share with you using the new

stamp set Honey Bees.

I first started out by cutting a honeycomb on my Cricut.

I used Brushable Glue  first

Then sprinkled Lemonade glitter on, adding it half at a time.

I set it aside to dry and then stamped bees on a scrap piece of

card stock using first Versamark, then heat setting with

Coffee embossing powder.

I repeated this again, only this time using vellum.

I fussy cut the bees from the card stock, snipping off the wings,

then cut them again from the vellum, but this time cutting just the

body and wings.

I place the vellum body under the card stock body,

giving the wings a translucent appearance.

Here is a nice closeup of the finished bee.

I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers,

and adding Want 2 Scrap black pearls to the flowers centers.

Using the Versmark once again, I stamped the sentiment,

then heat set with Black Detail embossing powder.

Thank  you for visiting with me today!
