Hello there, honey bear!

Today’s post has a bit of a different twist to it.  I received an envelope in the mail from my upline, Susan Itell, with a few pieces of card stock and Designer Series Paper along with a note asking to create something with them.  I love challenges, as I really think they inspire as well as stretch your creativity…so I took this as a fun challenge!

Here are the elements I received….a piece of Basic Black card stock, a pattern from Pick a Pattern DSP and a Whisper White square cut from the Stitched Shapes framelits.

…and here is what I came up with.

Here’s the details

• The card base is Whisper White thick card stock cut at 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.
• I trimmed the Basic Black card stock down to 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ and popped it on the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The pattern from Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper is trimmed to 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ and glued directly to the Basic Black card stock.

• Using A Little Wild stamp set and the coordinating Little Loves framelits, I stamped the bear, bees, honeycomb and sentiment in Basic Black Archival ink and colored them using Stampin’ Write Markers.

• The sentiment is stamped directly on the stitched square, which is popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the card.
• The honeycomb and bear are popped with Dimensionals, while the cute little bees are glued using Tombow.

• A little more stamping and coloring on the inside adds a touch of whimsy but still leaves room for a personal note.

Susan opened this challenge up to her entire downline.  It will be fun to see what the others on the team have created.

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope you have a great day!

Take care,

Rosanne
