Tuesday with Tara {take 440} Knowing Bee
Happy Tuesday!
If you joined me live on Facebook last week (or caught the replay) you would have seen me color up this Funky bee near the end of our time together. After all my watercolored bits were dry, I glued my layers together and added some Glossy Accents to his wings. Since the watercolor paper I was working on was a lighter weight, it gives it a somewhat translucent effect. It’s not what I intended… but it’s kinda perfect for wings!
I know it’s another grey card base, but I really thought the Silverleaf Willow by Prism Studio complemented the colors of my bee quite nicely. I cut a wide border at the crease side of my card with one of the Puffy Cloud Border dies by Lawn Fawn.
Behind the bee, I used some book print which I spritzed with some Distress Oxide Spray in Salvaged Patina. I then adhered that paper to white cardstock and attached it under the creased edge of my card. I stamped a sentiment from one of my older Tim Holtz stamp sets (CMS086 if you’re wondering) to finish it off.
I’ll show you how I did that fold and assembled the card during this week’s Facebook Live, but our finished card will feature the dragonfly I colored :). Hope to see you there!
Inky hugs,
Tara

The second card is super simple- stamped directly on a card base with the addition of the stamp sentiment from the set in black as well. I also added the butterflies to a matching envelope for a fun pop of color!
