Bee Mine Valentine


Feb 3, 2021 Update:  Top Three Winner in AHSC Challenge #405.
Early this morning my cat awakened me protesting about his need to be fed. He has me well-trained so I got up, fed him, made coffee, and decided to catch up on some card making. On Mondays, I enjoy looking at the weekly sketch for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges and was immediately drawn to use the new weekly sketch for another Valentine. I had materials on my desk from a card I made yesterday (click HERE to view it) so decided to see what I could do with the leftover bits. Below is Sketch #405, running from Monday, January 25, through Sunday evening, January 31, 2021.

First, the bee image was stamped, colored with Copic markers, and then die-cut. The heart was also die-cut from red foiled cardstock. The edges of the foiled honeycomb paper were die-cut with a border die and the black/gold stripe paper scrap was trimmed to fit. All of the elements were added to a black card base. The heart and the bee image were popped up with thin foam tape. Googly eyes were added to the bee image for a fun element. The sentiment was stamped and added using foam tape and a small punched heart was added. The inside was lined with white cardstock and a few small punched hearts.
