bee happy

Hello again and welcome to another card featuring ClarityCraftsnew ‘just butterflies & bees’ stamp set – I hope you’re not getting too bored with them! I’ve gone back to the bees today, but this time paired them with the ‘summer tags & frames’ stamp set and one of the new infusions papers. It’s a slightly loose connection but I’m going to share this with TGIF Challenges.

I started with a piece of the new Infusions paper, cut it down to fit a 5×5 card blank, edged it with a black Sharpie and a ruler (the paper’s too thin to just run the pen down the edge) then attached it to the card front. I cut a hexagon frame frm two nested dies and added that over the Infusions paper. I stamped the sunflowers from the ‘tags & frames’ set, added the two bees and shaded them with Pergaliner pencils, then fussy cut it.

All I needed to do was add a little mounbt of scrap cad on the back and attached the flowers in the centre of the die cut.

Why did I choose the sunflowers? Well you know I like a fun fact and I found this fab little quote on the Beelife website:

‘The sunflower is like gold for native bees, including honeybees, solitary bees, and bumblebees. Both find the yellow sundial of plants to be like a buffet full of nectar and pollen.’

  1. The card is lovely and I really like the background paper. Love the quote and will add a small bit of knowledge of my own. Most people hate dandelions and do their best to get rid of them. I learned recently that bees need them, so we have taken to leaving them in places where they aren’t too obvious to our eyes.

      1. we only learned it recently. Partly through a wildlife magazine I subscribe to and also a place that only sells native species plants that grow in our location.
