Late night stamping
I had a fun night yesterday. After watching some shows, I went back stamping. Did I mention yet, that I love the Stampendous Bees? I knew they would look pretty on a Joy fold! And since I am behind on sending out RAK’s and Thank you cards, I made several, all just a tad different.
I stamped the Bee trio on Shimmery white with black Palette ink. It has become my favorite ink for watercoloring. It works well with acrylics as well as rubber stamps. It is a true black and it doesn’t run!
I added it’s a bee-utiful day on the bottom with Karen Foster’s snap stamps and Black Palette ink. I got the smaller and bigger version of those very affordable and versatile stamps. I love them. Now I can make any saying I want!
Next I colored the image with Marigold Morning, Cranberry Crisp, True Thyme, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow and Bordering blue. Once it was dry I used Stardust Stickles and the Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add glittery highlights (which can’t be seen in the photo).
The patterned paper is Scenic Route from the Harvest collection. It works so well with the bee images. The colors are so rich! I used up both sheets and will have to order more from Joy! My shopping cart is filling up again. LOL ….But it’s a perfect time to order from Eclectic Paperie this weekend. They have a SALE!!!!! 15 % off your entire order. Only this weekend with this coupon:

If you look closely on the very front of the photo, you will see the inside image. I used the single bee holding a flower for that, doodled the same border around her white shimmery base and colored her in like the Bee trio.

Now these little bumblebee’s I can like (I’m allergic to bee stings so I avoid them like the plague)! Super sweet! Love the colors you used on this…so sunny and warm!

I love these bees! I’m really feeling the need to branch out from SU! All my non-SU! stamps are so old. Some of them I’ve never even used. These guys are just adorable and I love what you’ve done with them. The colors are great!

Hey Beate,
I was just admiring this wonderful card and thought you should use a bee as your own little icon (Bee-ata). You did a wonderful job with this card and all of the others you have done recently.
Thanks for all you do to inspire us all!
