I have some exciting news to share! My "Love" easel card won the February challenge over at the Stampshoppe!! (You can read about it here on their blog.) Whoohoo, I'm SOOOO EXCITED, because this means I won my first Design Team position!! I'll be the Guest Designer for the Stampshoppe for the month of April. Can't wait to hear what it will be all about! I'll keep you posted :o)
Now... what's your LEAST favorite color? For me, that would be YELLOW! But when I saw the cute Honey Tilda stamp from Magnolia's new Raising the Ceiling Collection, I just HAD to have her!! Of course I could have colored her a nice blue (my favorite color!) or pink or... but I decided to challenge myself and make a true yellow-black bumblebee :o). I think it turned out okay... even for yellow! LOL!
So without further ado, here she is, Honey Tilda!
And the Copics I used:
Materials used:
Paper for stamping: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White #80
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, colored in with Copics (see picture above), Ranger/Tim Holtz distress ink Antique Linen
Stamps: Honey Tilda and Honey Jar from Magnolia's Raising The Ceiling Collection 2010, Tiny Typewriter alphabet from Close To My Heart (for sentiment)
Cardstock: Bazzill (black) and Stampin'Up! (Shimmery White)
Patterned paper: Sandylion (Yellow Plaid), K & Company (Yellow Gingham), unknown (black checker), all from my very, very old stash :o)
Felt: Queen & Co. (black dragonfly felt fusion)
Flowers: Patricia's Etsy Shop
Glitter: Stampendous
Clear sparkles and pearls: Close To My Heart
Tools: Spellbinders circle & scalloped circle Nestabilities, Close To My Heart distressing tool, machine stitching
The challenge over at the Just Magnolia Challenge blog this week is Birthdays... so I might as well enter :o)
I'm working on another Birthday card for my MIL. Will show you soon!
Happy creating!
Hugz,
Irma
