Bee inspired!

Hi there!

Inspired by bees, those little miracles of nature, I made two cards for two different occasions.


Here's #1 , a thank you card :





And #2 , an encouragement card :







 I used :


  • Digital stamps from Graciellie design : Sending-kindness-digital-stamp-set
  • Zig markers
  • Altenew ink on card #2
  • Silhouette cameo to cut out the stamps as well as the stencil I used on card #2
  • Foam dots for dimension

Challenges :


CASe this sketch ~ A more literal take on the sketch today 😉

Time out challenges ~ Nature (think I'll enter card #1 because it has 2 elements of nature represented)



                       



Thanks for visiting me today... and remember to take care of the bees!

There's some serious gorgeousness happening with these two cards, Hannelie! Your thank you card is simply stunning. Such a pretty branch and a great bee image. Beautifully watercolored, too. And I love the sentiment on your encouragement card. Your half-dozen bees look wonderful against the stenciled base. I love these. Thank you so much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge. So nice to see you in the gallery! I've got bee-loving flowers in my gardens, too! Bev

As shades of purple are my favorite, I'm loving your floral thank you card, but the two cards together are a wonderful entry into Darnell's challenge. I know she'll love them, too.

Two stunning summery designs, Hannelie! Your coloring is brilliant of your flowers and bees! Perfect stenciling and font on your encouragement card! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #17! Hugs, Darnell

Two beautiful cards Hannelie. Your bloooms card is so perfectly watercoloured and love the soft colours of your blooms. That bee is just perfect and no wonder he is attracted to that gorgeous flower! :) Your encouragement card is VERY uplifting. You can't help but smile with all those sweet bees buzzing about. Thanks for playing along with us at TWofer Card Challenge!
