Happy Canada Day!

Published by Julia Stainton at 6:03 am under Card Designs, Copics, Cornish Heritage Farms

I am running away today so this post is going to be SUPER short. Yes, it’s still supposed to rain a little but we’re off to the lake in hopes of clearing weather, fireworks and I totally need a day off. I was up late last night working on a new stamp set until my eyes were crossing. lol

Honey

I created this card a few weeks ago for a SCS Sketch challenge. It is such a great layout I had to play along. Instead of using different pieces for the three panels, I stamped the Vintage Text Scrapblock and then my bees before cutting the layer apart. You get some flow this way and I love how the wings and text match up from one layer to the other.

Quick Tip: Use two different sized punches on circle elements to make them pop.

Off to find the beach towels,

edited to add…ughhh! It’s pouring! Guess we need an umbrella too!

I like the idea of stamping the bees before cutting the panels apart, so neat!
Hope you enjoyed a nice day yesterday!
