Buzzing with Love for MFT's Weekly Sketch Challenge 679

Today, I'm sharing design team inspiration for the My Favorite Things Sketch Weekly Sketch Challenge (#679). I'm enjoying making bright, cheerful cards for spring.



For this happy, love-themed card, I stamped the bee images from the Jenoblade Bee Strong stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic XPress-It Blending Card. After coloring the images with Copics, I used the matching Die-Namics set to cut them out.

For the background, I cut a 5.25" x 4" panel of Kraft cardstock, then used the Happy Hexagons stencil with some Gina K White Glitz Glitter Gel. After I spread the gel with a palette knife, I put the panel aside to dry.

I cut a small circle from the Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-Namics. I cut a 0.75" x 3.5" panel of Smooth White cardstock, then stamped a sentiment from the Freshly Picked Bouquet stamp set. I used scissors to cut a "fishtail" on the right side of the sentiment. I cut a 5.5" x 4.25" panel of Red Hot cardstock for the bottom layer, then added my glittered hexagon layer on top. I added another Red Hot panel (1" x 3.5") under the white sentiment, then attached the circle on the left side. I used foam dots to pop up the sentiment from the card base, as well as the bees on the sentiment layer. Note: Regular glue on foam dots won't stick to the glitz gel, so I used liquid glue on them.

For the inside, I added a Red Hot layer and white layer, then another lovely bee with a bouquet.

Hopefully, this video will show the sparkle a bit better than the photos:
