Butterflies & Bees

 I've got two more projects to share today - I'd like to enter this bookmark/tag into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Spritz and/or Splatter

Dragonfly Dreams - Use One or More Butterflies

We Love Stamping - Nature/Optional Anything Goes

Make My Monday - One or More Butterflies

Color Dare #655



I made a bookmark out of a scrap piece of watercolor paper that I had left over with some green ink on it. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Dazzle and embossed with white embossing powder, then continued blending green & pink inks on the card. I spritzed with water and wiped with a paper towel. I added some die cut filmstrip & Viewfinder pieces in white and some gemstone stickers. The sentiment and also the splatter in the corner (Picket Fence Oxide Ink with white embossing powder) is part of the stamp set called Let Adventure from Unity Stamp Co - I stamped the butterfly with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. 

And I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Stamping Bella June: Fluttering Wings & Summer Blooms

Path of Positivity #132


C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Anything Goes/Optional Cute

Tic Tac Toe #272 (I used the left down: bee, friend sentiments, ink blending)



I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper, then I blended a darker shade of yellow through a honeycomb stencil in the corner and applied clear embossing powder to random parts of it. I sponged black ink on the edges of the card and stamped the sentiment directly on the background. I stamped Tiny Townie Busy Bee from Stamping Bella with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored her with Copics and fussy cut her out, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I did the same with the little bee, but attached him to her wing. Peace.
