Welcome by my blog, everyone! I'm SO glad you're here. Today is one of those rare days when I'm posting a card just for fun. It's always nice when you can make something that's not part of a DT assignment; but rather, just because. This is one of those cards, and I had fun making it.
I used some black and deep yellow cardstocks and cut my chicken coop/wire background using a Darice die-cut from my stash. The image stamp set (hive, bees and dotted lines) is called Bee Hive from Honey Bee Stamps. The sentiment stamp I used is an old favorite from Verve Stamps. I enjoy being inspired to use products from my stash. By participating in challenges, I'm allowed the freedom to create and use some of my older items that I sometimes neglect or forget about. I haven't used these particular products in quite some time, so I'm very grateful for the inspiration.
I added some seam binding, baker's twine, and floral prills. I had to make it look a little bit realistic, right? It was a FUN card; and I really appreciate the inspiration. I hope that you're creating things just for fun this week, too. I can't wait to get back in my craft room to make something else. How about you? What have you been making this week? I hope you'll link up your art with us at Word Art Wednesday. It's always FUN to play along in challenges.
Thanks again for stopping by. I'm playing along in a couple challenges that you'll find listed and linked below. I hope that YOU will stop by and play along at Word Art Wednesday and some of these other FUN challenges. Have a great one, everybody.
Blessings,
Karen
