Visible Image Mixed Media Bee Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I'm excited to share a fun mixed media card using some fabulous goodies from Visible Image. This project was a joy to create, and I'm thrilled to walk you through the process!

 Instructions:

1. Creating the Background:

   • Start by taking a piece of photo paper and place the Visible Image Flower Ink stencil on top.
   • Spray Lavinia Sprays through the stencil to create a vibrant background. Once the sprays have dried, you'll have a beautifully patterned backdrop.

2. Adding Texture:

   • To add texture, use Strata Paste with the Visible Image Count Me In stencil. Apply the paste through the stencil and let it dry completely. This will give your card a wonderful, dimensional feel.

3. Stamping Hexagons:

   • Using the hexagon stamp from the Visible Image Bee Happy set, stamp several hexagons onto the background with Versafine Clair Twilight ink. This adds another layer of interest and ties into our bee theme perfectly.

4. Coloring the Bees:

   • On Bristol Smooth paper, stamp the bees from the Bee Happy set. I used Spectrum Noir Watercolor Markers to color them up, giving each bee a vibrant and lively look.
   • After coloring, I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut out the bees. Although it didn't cut the big bee's wings perfectly, I decided to use it anyway, embracing the imperfect charm.

5. Assembling the Card:

   • Add the sentiment to your card. Choose a cheerful phrase that complements your bee theme.
   • Use foam tape to adhere the bees to the card, giving them a little lift and making them stand out against the background.

And there you have it—a beautiful, mixed media bee card that's buzzing with creativity! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts or any questions you might have. Happy crafting!
