For my first card, I started with a brand new IO paper pack called Vintage Letters:
What I liked about the Vintage Letters papers is that I knew they would be good on their own or as a base layer to build up a different background. For the Just Bee-Cause card, I started with vintage paper, stamped the Honeycomb cover a card stamp on top with Versamark ink and then sponged chalk on top to give a vintage honeycomb look.
To finish the card, I stamped my bees and sentiment in black Memento ink and colored the bees with Copic markers. Yellow rhinestones were then added for a finishing look.
For my second card, I made my own background paper using the Fizz Cover a Card stamp in IO Canary ink and the Confetti Dot Cover a Card stamp in IO black ink. I like creating my own backgrounds sometimes so that I can have the exact colors I want. I finished the card by adding a Copic colored bee.
For my final sample, I once again started with paper from the Vintage Letters paper pack. I first added the Grunge Cover a Card stamp, which added a brown, aged look to the sides of the card. I then once again stamped the Honeycomb Cover a Card stamp on top in black Memento ink. To give a bit of definition to the honeycomb, I colored the centers of the comb with a very pale yellow Copic marker and colored around the comb with a very pale orange marker.
To finish the card, I stamped the bee and flowers and cut out my sentiment to glue to the card.
Thanks so very much for stopping by today. I hope you were inspired!

I like the backgrounds you make. That set of vintage papers is great, and bees are always good!
