Bee-autiful Florets

Here goes the start of another week of scorchio temperatures in the UK, so I hope you all have your fans at the ready? I'm definitely staying out of it as it's too much for me!

My second card today is for four challenges


First is Clean and Simple with this sketch,


second is Play Date Cafe with
 Burnt Umber,    Honey, and Butter




third is CAS-ual Fridays with                     POLKA DOTS

and lastly, Friday Mashup with                                                                                              NATURE

Here is my card


After embossing some white card with dots, I swiped half of it with a Butterscotch ink Pad, and the other half was reversed and sponged lightly with the same colour. I then made the panel by stamping and fussy cutting the flowers and leaves and mounting them on a Nestie that had been laid on some white card coloured with a distrees ink pad. The bees were stamped onto tracing paper, cut out and placed in their final positions. It may be the heat affecting my eyes, but I think the spotty background looks almost like honeycombs ( well,  if you have a vivid imagination they do..........don't they? ) For the finishing touch, the busy bees have left a bead of honey on the sentiment banner!!

Supplies :
Card = Naturals White, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight
Stamps = Fabulous Florets, Tea Shoppe, and Inkadinkado
Inks  = Archival Black, Crushed Curry, Adirondack Butterscotch, and TH Tea Dye Distress
Tools = Big Shot, Dots EF, Nestabilities, and Fiskars Scissors
Extras = 3D Pads, Tracing Paper and Gems


It's my sisters birthday tomorrow so I'll be back very soon, and I've got some exciting news to share with you all
