Guest Designer for Try It On Tuesday Challenge - Keep It Simple

Hello everyone.   Still not crafting much due to health issues, but I’m excited to be a guest designer (GD) at Try It On Tuesday (TIOT) this fortnight for their KEEP IT SIMPLE challenge. 


I used Bee Happy stamp and Honeycomb Pattern die from Whimsy Stamps (WS) for a punny CAS (clean and simple) “bee-lated” birthday card.  


The bee was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then fussy cut out.

Copic markers used:
yellows - Y000/11/15, V01
blacks - C5/6/8


Next, two white panels were trimmed to 5x3.75-inches.  The sentiments were stamped in black on one panel using the MISTI stamping tool.  The other panel was die cut with the honeycomb die, then glued on top of the other panel.  Inlaid the honeycomb, then placed it back into the MISTI to re-stamp the sentiments on top of the honeycomb.  Assembled the card onto a white card base and added clear shimmer to the wings for a bit of sparkle to finish. 


I want to thank Jo and the TIOT team for the GD opportunity.  For more inspirations from the design team and to link up your entry, click HERE.  Key products used/mentioned in making my card are linked below.   Thank you for dropping by.
