Bee is for Birthday

by Ryann Salamon / RyannMarin Designs:

Hello again! I've got a fun bee-day card to show you using one of my favorite techniques - distressing. A lot of people use ink when distressing. I typically just use my handy edge distresser to rough of the edges of cardstock. You don't have to have a fancy tool to distress. I know people who use their scissors and even one friend that uses her fingernails! Distressing can take your card to a whole new level! Ever tried to make a shabby chic/vintage card? Add some distressing and you will be well on your way! :)


For my card today I've used Bitsy Bee (A1020) and Another Year Flies By... (F489) sentiment. I wanted the bee and sentiment to take center stage so I've kept the my card simple. I distressed the edges of black and yellow cardstocks then layered them together. Then I added a bit of black/white gingham ribbon and it's done! A nice and easy gender-neutral card; always good to have on hand!
