Bee cards

Hi!

It's Anja here. I played with bees today. I combined new phrases with this beautiful beehives die and made two cards. One can be used as a valentines card or even a little different wedding card. And the other can be sent to a friend on different occasions. I love this word games that can be done in English :)

For these two cards I used:
- Cottage Cutz Dies (Beehives, Baby Doll Girl Clothes, Sweet Phrase, Happy Phrase, Love Phrase),
- Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Black Soot),
- Distress Oxides (Broken China, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade),
- white card base (21 x 10 cm and 12,5 X 12,5 cm),
- watercolor paper (20,5 x 9,5 cm and 12 x 12 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- white foam,
- glossy accenst,
- adhesive foam pads,
- glue,
- heat gun.

I started with die cutting first. Then I colored and glued all the parts for the bees and beehives together. I used Distress Inks for the beehives and Distress Oxides for the bees. 

I made the background with smooshing technique. I used Distress Oxide Broken China and tapped it on some acetate foil. Then I sprayed water over it and smooshed it over the watercolor paper. I dried it with heat gun. 

Then I die cut the phrases. I cut them twice. First from white card stock and then from white foam. 

I colored the phrases using a bit of an ombre effect and glued the paper on top of the foam. 

I also die cut a few hearts to add as embellishments on one of the cards. I colored them in the same way as the phrases. I put a bit of glossy accents on top of them.

And then I just glued all parts on the white card stocks. I used adhesive glue pads for the bees.
