Bee Well Soon

I've got one simple card for a whole slew of challenges today!   I love when I can work several of them in on one creation!  Sometimes it just doesn't work out and I end up with a card full of junk (!)  and I have to start over and maybe just get in a couple of challenges - but today I think it worked out well!
First I sponged a chicken wire stencil on a white panel with More Mustard Ink. Then I stamped some stems, the bee and a sentiment all from PTI in black on the panel.  Then I die cut the panel with a stitched mat rectangle die (I seem to be using these stitched mats on EVERYTHING I create lately! - I just LOVE them!)   I was going to stamp flowers but then remembered my really old SU flower punch whose flowers were the perfect size - so I punched them then stamped a center on them and adhered them on the stem.

If you follow the weekly challenges out there you probably know many of the challenges I hit with this card:

Dynamic Duos - Black and More Mustard
Less is More - Masking or Stenciling
Curtain Call -   I was inspired by the colors and the jars of honey!
Addicted to CAS Code Word Luck - (lucky enough to get well!)




 
Stamps:  Honey Bee, Honey Bee Sentiments - PTI
Paper:  white - PTI, More Mustard - SU
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black, More Mustard -SU
Accessories:  mini chicken wire stencil - The Crafters Workshop, blending tool - Ranger, flower punch - SU, stitched Mat rectangle die - Lil' Inker Designs.

  2. Your card is a beauty! The honey-comb stencil looks perfect in the honey/mustard ink, and the combination of stamped and punched flowers is fun. Thanks for linking up with the Dynamic Duos this week.
