I recently earned the gorgeous Golden Honey Specialty DSP, and so that's what I'm using on tonight's card. I'm not big on bees, but there are enough non-bee papers to make it worth getting for me. The DSP is specialty paper because one side of each sheet contains gold foil elements.
As much as I'm not into bees, I couldn't resist adding a couple of the gold foil bees to the front of my card. They were very easy to fussy cut from the DSP. I popped them up (using Black Dimensionals - yay!) over a piece of black and gold DSP. It's meant to be a honeycomb look, but I'm already trying to work out if I can get it to look like a circuit board on a future card. LOL.
The SDSP features black, gold and white, but I wanted to add some colour. After experimenting with Blends and Stampin' Write Markers, I ended up using my Watercolour Pencils. The bottom third of each flower/petal was coloured with Rich Razzleberry, and the top third with Flirty Flamingo. I then used my Wink Of Stella (what else!?!) to blend the colours into the middle third. The pop of colour is quite nice, I think!
I used a Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Happy Birthday To You, for the sentiments on my card. I also used a left over strip of my coloured flower DSP to finish the inside of the card. There wasn't a flower at the left of the strip, which looked a little boring, so I fussy cut a tiny gold bee and glued him over the leaves.
That's all from me tonight, so now you're off to visit my lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri to see what wonderful creation she's made using her SAB goodies. I can't wait!

Tina, for someone who isn't into bees you've done a fantastic job with this paper. Your water-coloured flowers are so sweet and I cant wait to see your circuit board card, LOL!!! xx
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are so pretty coloured with pencils, especially the two-tone look. Fabulous card Tina.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Tina, I never would have thought to colour that DSP. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI really love this card! I love how you have kept the colours simple and yet it has enough complexity to keep it interesting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tina, I love the touch of pink and purple your colouring has added, really lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look so gorgeous coloured in. Hey we are allergic to bees in my family so I get it when it comes to not being into bees but your card is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous design Tina, and I love your colouring of the SDSP and colour combination, stunning.
ReplyDeleteTina I love the way you have coloured the flowers and matched to the colour of your cardstock. Like you I really like the DSP but am not overly keen on the bees. Perhaps they will grow on us.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Tina. I love your pencil colouring of the flowers on the SDSP. Just as well the gold bees were not too difficult to fussy cut. 💖😊
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tina, I love how you've coloured in the flowers with the Water Colour Pencils, I must try this out!
ReplyDeleteSuch a well-made and pretty card, Tina!
