I love this bee paper so I had to make something that would go with it. This Doodle Garden image is perfect for the paper.
On the banner there's a two layer flower with a button center and a charm. It looks much better in real life. Unfortunately when you're putting the embellishments on the card you don't know what won't photograph well.
Here's the deets:
stamp - My Favorite Things "Doodle Garden - Sweet As Can Be"
ink - Memento "Tuxedo Black" and Ranger "Vintage Photo"
paper - Close to My Heart "Buzz and Bumble" package
miscellaneous - copics; Jolee's bee stickers; MFT "Circle Stax", Creative Memories Cutting System; "Fishtale Flags Stax" and "Pretty Posies" die-namics; beehive charm; button; Viva Glitter Liner "Holo Iridescent"; Twinkle Goosebumps;
Machine Stitching
Here's the challenges:
My Favorite Things MFTWSC127 - sketch
Sister Act #10 - Anything Goes
Totally Papercrafts #170 - Punches and Dies
Charisma #22 - Lots of Layers
The second card is masculine with a western theme. The "Inspired by the Wild Wild West" set has great images and sentiments for masculine cards. I can always use a masculine card in my stash.
Here's the deets:
stamp - My Favorite Things "Inspired by the Wild Wild West"
ink - Memento "Tuxedo Black"
paper - My Favorite Things "Midnight Blue" card stock; October Afternoon "Sasparilla" dp
miscellaneous - copics; MFT "Oval Stax" die-manics; brads; hemp twine; cactus charm
Here's the challenges:
