Bee-utiful You!

I'm playing along with the Hexagons: Happy For Hexagons Challenge at Moxie Fab World.

I picked up a Heidi Swapp stencil the other day that is meant to be paired with some color mists, but I used it to trace some hexagons.

I created a bee hive on a card and this is what it looks like

I wanted them to have that hand drawn look, so I pulled out a Copic pen to trace the hexagons and then I added color with my Copic markers.  I wanted one of the hexagons to stand out so I used atyou Spica glitter pens and some dimensional adhesive (for a 3D look).  And of course I had to add a bee, thanks to some SRM Stickers.

Here's a close-up of the the extra special hexagon. 

I used my black Memento marker (Tsukineko) to create the "bee-utiful" using a Scenic Route clear stamp that was spelled the correct way. 

The "You" is from a Lawn Fawn clear stamp

If you look closely at the letters, you might see some sparkle.  I traced over the letters with a glitter pen.

I put a lot of work into this card, but I would do it again in a heartbeat because I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of Love

I've got a couple of cards to share.  The first is the latest sketch at Seize the Sketch

It sort of looks like the sketch...

~ Cardstock Bazzill Basics ~ Stamp Lawn Fawn ~ Stickers Fancy Pants ~ Other Stuff Tag, Sequins, Acrylic Arrow

Most of the items on the above card came from the February Swag Bag from Paper Issues.

These swag bags are the coolest - loaded with tons of embellies so I can have a little bit of everything.  I was so inspired by the latest bag of goodies that I created this card, just because

I added some zig zag sewing in the corners and an SRM sticker, otherwise the rest is from the swag bag.

I hope you are having a LOVELY Valentine's Day!

You're a Star

It's a new year, and I'm jumping back in to my own personal crafting.

It feels strange not to post a challenge every day, but it also feels good to think exclusively about what I want to create.

I met the loveliest crafters in blog land through 365 Cards and I do not regret one second of the time I spent running it.  I could not have done it without all the fabulous designers who joined me in my adventures on the team.

Okay, here's a card I created for the latest Moxie Fab challenge to use constellations and/or stars

It's a shooting star, and I will tuck this card away to give to someone extra special.
