PRETTY IN PINK

This is so pretty for a special someone.  It looks simple and it pretty much is except for all the die cutting, punching and smooching - lol.  I placed the birch stamp in the Stamparatus because that is a lot easier to handle when stamping the image on your cardstock.  
I do laugh when I tell my class to punch out the flowers and then smooch them up in their hands.  But as long as you don't tear the petals the more crinkled the better.
The sentiment has been diecut with gold foil cardstock - I find it helps to put a piece of copy paper on top of the foil if your top plate is marked as this stops those marks or scratches being transferred to the foil as it goes through your die cutting machine.  The gold mini sequin trim is retired but it certainly would be easy to use something else.

WHAT A HONEY

I'm trying to make more beginner and casual cards, which I find more difficult because I like a challenge.  Sometimes I forget that my class attendees may enjoy a card that's not so taxing on the brain.

I used the die in this bundle to create a sponged honeycomb look and stamped the bees on top.  I didn't even worry about colouring the stripes on the bees.  The fern is from another stamp set and that has been stamped using lst, 2nd and 3rd generation stamping.


It doesn't show up in the photo but I have used the wink of stella pen to put a little bit of sparkle on the wings.
I'm pretty sure the Butterfly Basics stamp set is retired but will be a keeper in my stash.
