It's tickle a Teapotter time and Jen (Miss Boo) is our guest hostess. She's got a fun challenge for us and I hope you'll come play along! We have been challenged to use bees on our cards with extra cookies if we used some apple red. I had this card all planned in my head with bees buzzing around some apples, but when I went to Evernote looking for bee images, I came up with this one that I've never used. And that's when I had a picture of them soaring over the city on an apple red construction beam. I just couldn't resist. So I made a cut file of a construction beam for my ScanNCut and cut that out. Then I stamped this Concord & 9th city that I bought while I was shopping in St. Paul with Polly. I stamped it twice and cut them out. I couldn't let the negative go to waste, so I sponged on some background buildings in gray. I stamped the bees on the card and colored them and sponged a cloudy sky around them. Then I masked and sponged the beam to give it some dimension and shaded a bit with a black colored pencil. I stuck it on underneath the bees and drew some wire to hold it up. Then I got out my ExactlyWrite Address Guide and my Crayola Supertip marker and hand-lettered my "Just Bee-Cause" sentiment. I had loads of fun creating this scene. I love Teapot Tickle Time!
Thanks for the fun challenge, Jen!
