Wild Wood with Wood Slice

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

After making this card, I wanted to do at least one more before I put the

set on the shelf.  This time I wanted to use at least one of the wood slices

included with the set.

Here's what I came up with....

Everything but the bees was cut from Neenah Solar White.  I used Distress ink and

blending brushes to color the wood slice and started to color the flowers with 

sponge daubers and ink.  I wasn't crazy about the flowers so I went over them with

Copic markers.

The little bees are very fussy.  The dies cut the body, stripes and wings separately. They

don't take much paper but they do take a steady hand to get them together.  I think you'll

be seeing them often in the future if I can keep my hands steady.

Thanks to Donna for choosing my previous card as a favorite at Freshly Made Sketches.

She inspired me with this card that she'd made.  It was what I needed to get this

set out of my NBUS box and give it a whirl, not once but twice.

Challenges:

Allsorts #843 - Embossing or ATG - Embossed background

Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with embossing used option of die cuts

A Cut Above - ATG with at least 1 die cut
