Hello there. I’m back today with a new challenge at Less is More (LIM). It’s theme week and challenge #346 is Take Flight. Our sponsor this month is Happy Little Stampers.
FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE
I made this card for my crafty friend, Di, who celebrated her birthday this past Tuesday. The idea came from the orchestra interlude Flight of the Bumblebee. I also wanted to use that yippee diecut that I had saved after not using it on a previous project. All images were stamped with Memento black ink on A2 size X-press It paper.
Masking was used to stamp the flower cluster. Did some simple colouring and shading with Copic markers. White heat embossed it’s your birthday on a black cardstock strip. Mounted panel onto a white top folding card base. Added clear shimmer to the bee’s wings and white yippee to finish.
Linking to the following challenges:
AAA Cards – Game #98 Creatures Great or Small
CAS on Friday – #116 Color Me Pretty Use Pencils or Markers
Addicted to Stamps and More – #259 Clean and Simple
SSS Wednesday – Clean and Simple
That’s all from me this week. Please head to the LIM blog for more inspirations from my team. Hope you will join us this week. As always, keep your cards clean and simple (CAS) and follow the challenge guidelines. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day.
A really cute card and super stylish too. Love the limited colour and your grey shading on those flowers looks perfect. That huge yippee I think may just have to go onto my wish list too! xx
So cute, I love the totally CAS layout with just a hint of colour in the bees
Love your card and it’s great inspiration for me. I have the diecut and the bee plus its diecut. I have yet to use mine.

Love this card. Your minimal color palette is so striking! Just perfect!
I just love your inspiration behind the card Trina and it certainly rings true with the flight of the bumblebee. Super classy CAS design and a gorgeous bold yippee sentiment that just pops! On my wish list for sure! Have a good week x
Your card is brilliant, Trina! I love that cute bumblebee and your masked flower cluster, what a great design! The simple color palette is perfect for this card.
Love the little bumblebee heading for the flowers – such a sweet summer card! Great use of your leftover die cut with the stamped birthday sentiment added below it.
What a delightful card, Trina. The minimal color scheme just makes the images and sentiment stand out so well. Thanks for sharing it.
Love this card Trina – it is so happy and sunny! I can almost hear that bee humming along to the flight of the bumblebee as it flies to the flowers. Wonderful shading and colouring too and that ‘yippee’ is fab. Have a great week. xx
This is just the sweetest card, Trina and perfectly CAS too! I love that yippee…..it is now on my wish list. The limited colour palette is very stylish and the cute bee just made me smile 🙂
