Video: Creating a Bee and Flower Die Cut Focal Point

Hello there, Michelle here and today, I am sharing a card using the new  Bees and Flowers Fancy Dies . With these dies, you can create wonderful scenes but with the help of the Hexagon Infinity Dies , I am creating a simple focal point for my card today.

Here is the video showing how I made the card:

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please watch  HERE  on YouTube.)

I started off by die cutting the Bees and Flowers Fancy Dies from Dove White Cardstock . I then coloured them using Copic markers. Watch the video to see how I coloured two flowers so that I could add the flower head with some added dimension.

I die cut three of the smaller hexagons from the Hexagon Infinity Dies set from more Dove White Cardstock . I then blended on Pool Party Reactive Ink , focusing the darker colour towards the bottom. I splattered with a little water and stamped the sentiment, from the Bee The Queen set on to the middle sized one with Intens-ified Black Ink

The hexagons were added first to a Dove White Top Folding Card  with tape runner, followed by the flower using Precision Glue . I then added the bee with thin foam tape. To finish off, I added Clear Hero Hues Enamel Dots to the hexagons. 

This card is making me yearn for spring! Thank you so much for stopping by today, happy stamping!
