Fun Friday Bees

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

It's time for fun on Friday.  No challenges, just fun.

I am on a committee to support staff at a local elementary school.

I thought it would be fun to send them a card with a bookmark, hoping they

will have a chance to read for fun during the summer.

The image was stamped on a piece of cardstock with a punched top.

I heat embossed the stamping to get an nice shine.

A yellow Sharpie was handy so I colored the bee with that and blended

a bit of blue around him.  My ink blending is always splotchy so I stamped 

some splatters to kind of cover that up.

Without the bookmark.

A little band holds the bookmark to the front of the card which had been

embossed with a new to me (on clearance) embossing folder.  I used my favorite 

trick of patting with a white inkpad to highlight the raised design.

The message inside.

Our team supports four of the support staff that counsels, teaching remedial reading,

STEM & Speech therapy.  Each card is a bit different.

I patted the natural embossing with a pale yellow inkpad and it was too dark

and splotchy.  So I patted with the white inkpad over top and that toned it 

down perfectly.

I hope you have some crafty fun today!
