Bee Happy Wedding Wishes

Bee Happy Wedding Wishes - Front

Made this card for my Indian ex-colleague whose wedding dinner reception is on this Sunday. I am so happy that she finally tying the knot with someone she loves!

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge #95 (MFTWSC95)

This card layout is inspirational from MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge #95 (MFTWSC95) sketch/challenge as shown above. I decided to turn the sketch 180 degree so that I could use the sun as the embellishment as shown in the sketch.

Close-up : The scene

I started off with a white card stock whereby I stamp the bees, flowers and clouds to make a scene. As it is white in background, I need to mask all the images to distress the white background to the sky color. Later, all the images are colored using Copic markers.

Close-up : Sentiment

A red strip is trimmed from some red card stock. The left and right edges are stamped with a border that similar to stitching. On gold card base, a pattern paper that full of hearts is attached follow by the red strip. The colored scene is attached onto the red strip and pattern paper as shown in the sketch. After the scene is attached, the sentiment is stamped. The sentiment is not stamped earlier (before the scene attaching) is due to that I want the sentiment to be aligned to the scene position. Then, a stamped cut out butterfly is placed on the sentiment.

Close-up : The pop-up sun

The sun is stamped on a yellow card stock and trimmed. It is then attached using pop dot to the left top corner of the scene as in sketch.

Close-up : Gems for the flowers' pollen

The pollen of the flowers are added with gems to give some dimension and sparkle. The small flowers' pollen are added with one (1) big gem while the big flower's pollen is made up by few smaller gems.

Close-up : The male bee

Some gems are added to bees' antennas as well. Two (2) heart shaped gems are added to the above of the bees to mimic they are in love. Some glossy accent are added to the wings of the bees to make it sparkle.

Close-up : The female bee
