Bumblebee Circle Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Bumblebee Circle Card. :o)


For my card I used an ADORABLE Kitty Bee Designs 'Bumblebee Cutie' digital image. This is my second card I made using this image. You can find the first one here. :o)


How I made my card....

I printed the bumblebee twice, one on a white cardstock paper and second on a watercolor paper. I left images dry through the night to prevent ink smearing while coloring.

I die cut a wonky stitched circle in the white cardstock paper. I cut two black circles in a black cardstock paper, glued them together and created a card base. Then I glued the white wonky stitched circle panel on the card base.

Next up was coloring. I colored the bumblebee in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. First I colored wings, legs and sting of the bumblebee printed on the cardstock paper. The rest of the image I colored with a black marker. Then I colored the bumblebee printed on the watercolor paper. After drying, I fussy cut the bumblebee (I cut away wings, sting, legs and antennas), traced edges with the black marker, softened image with a stylus ball and glued it over the bee printed on the cardstock paper.


As a finishing touch I coated bumblebee's wings and sting with Clear Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)


Card dimensions: d = 83 mm  (3.25")

List of supplies:

    I hope you'll like my today's KBD spotlight project and get inspired. I have another KBD spotlight project to share this month and that will be on Thursday. Stop by. :o) 

    Update May 31st, 2018
    I smeared my second spotlight project at the end. I tried to fix it and teared a paper. At that point card was not fixable and I threw it away.

    For more inspiration and cute images jump over to the Kitty Bee Designs Etsy StoreKitty Bee Designs Blog and Kitty Bee Designs FB. :o)



    Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Enjoy and smile! :o)

    Colorful Cacti Pot Card II (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)


    Happy Friday! :o)

    Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Colorful Cacti Pot Card II:o)


    To make this card I was inspired with my own two cards I created last year: Masculine Snake Card and Colorful Cacti Pot Card. :o)

    I used GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp setI love succulents and cactus!! :o)


    With some masking, I stamped a cactus/succulent pot on a Kraft Paper panel using pre-made masks. After removing masks, I fixed some lines with black fine liner. I colored the image with colored pencils and used Stabilo fine liners for extra shading.

    Then I stamped a sentiment on the panel, overlapping the pot and triangles. I colored triangles with colored pencils.

    Lastly, I glued the panel on a white top folded card base. To add more interest to my card, I outlined the cacti pot, sentiment and triangles with white pigment ink and my card was finished. :o)
