Bee Yourself

I would love to show you the card I created for the August DT for Scrap the Boys New card challenge.

The challenge is Go Geo!

Geometric shapes on a card.

 So here we go...

 I created this card, I chose the hexagon to be my geometric shape.

Here are a few close ups of my card... 

I have used 3 hexagons, one gold, one ivory and the other a gold/mustard hexagon pattern paper.

 I have hand drawn a bee (several times) and I have used watercolours to add the signature yellow and black.  I have used a black fine liner to draw the wings, antennae and buzzing trail.  I also neatened up the edges of my watercolour.

I have stamped the sentiment of the card and used a fine liner to add a stitched edge to match the lines of the bee.

This card is for my nephews, Isaac and Nathaniel, so I created a message that I think is suitable for all children aged 7 to 10.

I hope you like what I have created.

a seed from which tomorrow's happiness grows

I wanted to share with you a special layout of gorgeous niece, Esther.

I will be meeting this little one for the first time in August, even though we've talked over the internet it'll be much better to talk to her in real life.

When I saw this floral PP from the Sherlock III: a New Case collection, I knew I wanted to use it on something special.

Have a look and tell me what you think...

 

I backed my photo with a frame of green cardstock and then used a script above to tie in the PP with the photo.  I used cream mesh ribbon from Meg's Garden bundle of goodies across the background.

 

 

 

Using the Branch with Flowers die in a sage green cardstock I have framed the photo over the cream mesh ribbon.

  I have used the sage green rhinestones from the emerald sheet in the centre of some of the flowers from the die and in the corners for a touch of sparkle.

Hope you've enjoyed sharing in my creation with Meg's beautiful products, be sure to pop along to the website to look at her stunning collections.
