Time to visit the Snippets Playground again and I hear there is Maypole dancing so I hope the weather is better there than it is where I am - grey and rainy today, typical Bank Holiday weather I guess. Everything apart from the base card came from the Snippets mountain.. I started with a piece of yellow background paper left over from some sheets which I printed recently for another project and everything else came from the white card snippets - always seem to have far more white bits and pieces for some reason. The largest white piece first had a beehive-shaped aperture cut into it followed by stamping the curved words and then embossing it with a honeycomb pattern using a stencil. This aperture was backed with a small white die cut honeycomb. The bees and flowers were stamped, coloured and die cut and there was a small strip of the yellow paper remaining so I cut a decorative edge to it before layering it across the base of the front, adding a stamped and die cut 'Hello'. Do follow the link and pop along to see a great card for inspiration as well as the lovely prize which will go to the lucky person whose name is drawn at the end of the two weeks.

This is a BEE-utiful card Val. Really cheerful in those colours and I love how you've combined the bees, honeycomb and flowers. It's bee-lightful! (Sorry!)
ReplyDeleteThe sun always shines in the Snippets Playground so no problem with shrinking the Maypole ribbons! Hope you've grabbed your flower garland and a ribbon! Thanks for coming to play xxx
