After making and mailing a slew of Christmas cards, I brought out a new-to-me flower for my card today. I know many of you around the country and Canada are having snow and I am so dreaming of snow. However. It's warm enough where I live today to actually try sun bathing.The air conditioner is on.
I might as well take a break from making winter cards, even if only for today. Here's a fabulous bloom creation made with the Lovely Layers Coneflower Dies from Honey Bee stamps.
The etched dies cut four layers for this flower and the dimension is amazing. I used two shades of pink card stock, and added sponged ink to vary the color a bit for each layer. When it was assembled I added more detail with flicking with Copic markers near the base of the flower.
The sentiment is also from Honey Bee (Riding By) stamps.
I know it seems early to get back to card making and posting but you may know how it is - the craft space is a happy place to relax and it requires no cooking or wrapping. Taking a mid-holiday crafty breather is good!
Thanks so much for your visit. Hope you're having a great day! I'm sending this over to NBUS and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to add a sentiment.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAhhhh, I'm so loving this gorgeous NON-Christmas card, Cindy! I'm ready to get back to flowers and I do have a few that need my attention. How beautiful this is! Honey Bee has some outstanding Lovely Layers dies. Your colors are beautiful and I love the bit of patterned paper showing around the edges. It makes a perfect border for your flower. I'm looking forward to everything you might share in 2026. Happy new year!
