Bee Merry
>> Wednesday, December 21, 2022
Hello Crafty Friends,
Last week, I had an opportunity to explain what "Merry" means to my Grandsons. They actually thought it had to do with getting married and they were a bit confused on why we always say it (plus they are 5 and 7 and the thought of getting married is up there with eating tons of vegetables and no candy). After I explained it, I could see their brains working - I love when that happens. I was also inspired by THIS fabulous card by Heather at Splitcoaststampers.com. The colors made me think of a bee. So that is how this card came about - funny how things like that happen.
I started by drawing pine boughs with various markers and used the result as the base panel. I then used those same colors on the Triple Hanging Christmas Ornaments. For a bit of sparkle, the Happy Bee and the ornaments were glittered up with Dazzling Diamonds Dust. To finish this card off, I needed a "Merry" so I did a bit of surgery on the Fixin' Merry Christmas Greeting.
Hugz,
Nancy
