A bee and a cute mouse

 


I have two cards as a mid month reminder of the challenges at both We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations challenges. I am so sad that this will be my last card for Stamping Sensations as we close after this last challenge.

My first DT card above is for We Love Stamping challenge where the theme is All Creatures Great and Small (or anything goes). 

I've chosen to use a Woodware Bee stamp. I stamped and embossed with gold powder directly onto stamping grade tissue paper. I then die cut a birthday sentiment from CE and placed this under the tissue. I used a Chloe's Creative Cards Bee stencil for the background and a honeycomb stencil I bought in the USA many years ago.

I've tried to capture the embossed effect a little more with this second photo.


My second DT card is for our last Stamping Sensations challenge. The theme is Cute Creatures chosen by Anesha (or anything goes). 

I've used Penny Black Rubber stamp called Bubble of Joy PB 2098H. I coloured the image with TH distress crayons and a promarker for the green area. Mounted onto a piece of mirri card and used a sentiment die by Roxstamps also cut from mirri card. Mounted onto a Craftwork Card pre printed blank card base
.

We have as always wonderful prizes to be won at both challenges, so I do hope you can join in. Full details of the prizes are on the relevant challenge blogs.

Loving the bee card - the use of the tissue paper is so effective and the golden bee is beautiful. Such a cute PB image for the second card too - they're very good at producing cute animal stamps

Fabulous stamping on the bee card, love the softening effect of the tissue and gold embossing. The mouse card is very sweet- such a cute image.

Great bee card with the tissue paper, and cute mouse sitting on the champagne cork balancing a bubble on his nose, a fitting celebration of the challenge xxx

Wonderful cards Lynn, great embossing on the bee and that little mouse always makes me smile. We had a bee swarm take up residence in our hedge a couple of weeks ago. A local bee keeper came to collect them (her outfit was bright pink!!) the horses were not at all impressed!! x

It is sad to see Stamping Sensations challenge close, Lynn, but I do love the fun image you chose for celebrating all the great times we had with the challenge! Great job coloring and I love the stars and dots! Your first card is also fantastic! I love the mixed media look and that big brilliant bee! Hugs, Darnell
