Sketch Saturday - Bee My Valentine

Here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge using products from the Bee Mine Suite.

 
 

The sketch I used is from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Sweet Sorbet Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Cut 2 diamonds from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper using the 3rd from largest diamond shape from the Stylish Shapes Dies. (They measure 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 if you don’t have the dies.)

  • Cut a Basic White diamond using the 4th using the 2nd from largest diamond shape. (It measures 2 3/8 x 2 3/8)

  • Cut a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 diamond from Sweet Sorbet.

  • Stamp the bee and wings on scraps of Basic White and punch with the coordinating punch. I used Daffodil Delight on the body and Black Memento on the stripes and face. For the wings I stamped the outline in Sweet Sorbet ink and then for the filler, I used Sweet Sorbet ink but stamped off on a piece of scrape to get a lighter shade.

  • Stamp the sentiment and dashed line with Sweet Sorbet on the white square but position it as a diamond first. .Adhere the wings to the bee and then the bee to the diamond.

  • Adhere the white diamond to the Sweet Sorbet diamond.

  • Adhere the smaller diamonds to the white layer. Adhere the large diamond to the middle with Dimensionals.

  • Add some hears from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers pack.

 
 

On the inside layer (5 1/4 x 4) stamp the bee, dashed line, wings and face using the same colors you used on the card front. Stamp sentiment with Sweet Sorbet ink.
