Today's card features a stamped and punched-out bee created with the Bee My Valentine bundle. I won't use most of the sentiments in this stamp set, but the images are very cute. The co-ordinating Bee Mine Designer Series Paper is adorable.
The fabulous big sentiment on this card is from the Good Feelings stamp set. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on Basic White card, and cut it out using a Deckled Rectangles Die. I wanted to crop it closer to the size of the sentiment, so after cutting out the Deckled Rectangle, I moved the piece of card in the die, and ran it back through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
In between the two patterned papers (that are matted on Daffodil Delight card), I added a Basic Black border, cut with a Scalloped Contours Die. These dies are frame dies, but I often use them to cut borders, by placing a strip of card along the side of the frame.
Here's a (very!) close-up shot of the bee, stamped in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black inks before being punched out. His antennae were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and punched out using the smaller of the two heart shapes in the Bee Builder punch. I stamped the wing outlines in Petal Pink ink, then added the fill-in of the wings in Petal Pink ink, stamped off on a piece of scrap paper first (so it gave a lighter impression). The wings were punched out with the larger heart shape in the punch.
Here's a closer look at the sweet little Adhesive-Backed Flowers added to the DSP. I also used Daffodil Delight Adhesive-Backed Hearts, from the same pack ... you can see those in the photo of the full card, above.
