for the super papers, get them h

ere: decossesdynamitedoodles : Plaid: pink & grey paper; Buzzing by: Bee paper

The bee paper was my inspiration for the card theme and the plaid for the colour.
I distressed the edges of the grey paper and stencilled bees in black. The papers are layered with a little strip of diecut lace to highlight the colour, then a diecut honeycomb placed before adhering the bee strip. While I was working on it, some of the fall-out bits from the die fell on the card - which I liked - so I decided to keep them as embellishment; they are popped up on foam.

I am a silver haired wife, mother of four, and nonna of eight.. I come from a long line of crafters, both men and women. I love working with paper and fabric, so on my blog you will see both aspects of my work. I don't seem to have a specific style (too easily distracted) but I do like to get inky with stamps and colour! I hope you will enjoy the variety, and maybe be inspired to try something for yourself. Thanks for looking at my blog. It would be great if you left a message as I always appreciate your comments. Please respect my creativity and use only for personal inspiration.
