Good morning! Just popping in with a fun card to share. I went to a crafting retreat with some of my most favorite people at the end of April and I literally had so much fun chatting that I only made one card. Ha. And I actually was finishing it late the night before I left borrowing other people’s supplies because I had already packed mine away. I always pack with good intentions of doing work but then get distracted. Ha. Anyway, my good friend Emily brought me this adorable Honeybee set and seeing as how I was seated across from Honeybee’s owner, Melissa Hewitt, I couldn’t help but use it first! 😉
I had the opportunity to get some coloring tips from the fabulous Kathy Rac at retreat so I decided to be brave and try no-line copic coloring again and get into those nooks and crannies!! 😉 Kathy also gave me the Ink on 3 fadeout no line coloring ink so I used that to stamp my fox from Feelin’ Foxy before coloring him with my favorite copic critter colors, E70, E71, E74, E77, and E79! Then I die-cut him with the coordinating dies.
Next I stamped the Spring Blossoms onto vellum and heat-embossed them with rose gold embossing powder before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I added pink and golden yellow accents with copic markers to the back of the vellum. I also stamped the sentiment from Foxy Sentiments onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with the same rose gold embossing powder. Then I blended picked raspberry and worn lipstick distress oxide ink onto a piece of watercolor cardstock and spritzed it with water. I adhered that to a white card base and then arranged my sentiment and vellum flowers across the blended panel. Finally I popped up my fox with foam mounting tape. I don’t know if foxes like to sit and smell the flowers but mine certainly does! 😉
Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
