Cards for kids was the call of this week’s Operation Write Home Midweek Challenge, so I dug through my embellishments and found some cute little bees that were just begging to be freed. . . and of course, I just happen to have some new bee-themed paper that needed a home. Add some punched shapes, yellow Glimmer Mist, some brown ink and an orange rhinestone and I had a very simple card for someone’s little gal.
This is my interpretation of Operation Write Home’s latest sketch challenge. It was a simple sketch, but with a little embellishing and the right paper I think the possibilities are endless.
I used four coordinating papers from My Mind’s Eye called ”Follow Your Heart – Be Amazing.” I try to pick up these cute 6×6 packs whenever I see a good deal — they are perfect for card making. After I cut, inked and placed all my papers, I simply stamped and embossed the sentiment, added three dots of liquid pearls and attached a little bumble bee brad. I also colored over the bright yellow on the bee with the same liquid pearls just to tone it done a bit.
