Happy bee day

The current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was just what I needed to create a CAS masculine card.


I used two of Uniko's hexagon stamps (Background builders: happy hexagons) to stamp my horizontal elements using CP inks (Stone blue and Daydream). For my popped up hexagon, I mixed and matched products from Creative Dies Designs (hexagon die and bee stamp) and Avery Elle (birthday sentiment from Party Animal). I stamped the bee in Daydream and then again in Versamark, so that I could heat emboss it in clear. I had snipped off the accompanying sentiment, because it was incomplete. Because the stamp and die set had several manufacturing mishaps, it was an absolute bargain to buy, but I figured the set would still be useful. The AE sentiment was stamped in Stone blue. I created my border strip by applying Daydream ink direct to paper. I butted the strip to my stamped panel, adhering them together with double sided tape, before trimming my panel down to the desired width and mounting it to my card base.

I'm playing at:
