You Light Up My Life - Try Stampin on Tuesday #330

More snow last night, and it's been bitter cold!  The window on the back screen door has been frozen over for the last 2 days.

This card, made with a new Occasions stamp set combined with an Oldie but Goodie.

I made some liberties with the sketch from Try Stampin on Tuesday changing some of the features around.  Hope the design team doesn't mind.

Art Piece:

On a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, the image of the light house was stamped and coloured. Then the area of the light from the light house was masked out and the area in between the 2 masks was sponged with Crushed Curry.  A sentiment from "Pun Intended" was stamped repeated and randomly over this sponged area. The stamp-a-ma-jig was used for more accurate placement.

Stamps from the new Occasions set "High Tide" was used to create the water and the scene around  the lighthouse as well as the sea gulls.

The sentiment was stamped in the lower left corner.

All edges were sponged with Basic Gray ink.

Card:

The art piece was layered with Cherry Cobbler and adhered to a Basic Gray base.

Bee Mine - Canadian Die Cut Card Layout Challenge

This is the card I made for the card layout challenge, and at the same time give you a sneak peak of one of the stamps from the new catalogue coming out in June.

The base cardstock is Hello Honey, layered with Whisper White, and then English Garden DSP.
Each bee was stamped 3 times on Whisper White - each one facing a different direction.  They were coloured with a blender pen and ink pads.
Each bee was punched out using the 1 3/8" square punch, and matted with 1 5/8" square Hello Honey cardstock.  Before matting , some dots were stamped in Hello Honey (at the head end) using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
To make the bees wings more 3D, each bee was stamped 3 times with Versa Mark on Vellum cardstock and embossed with black embossing powder.  The wings were cut out and adhered to the original bee.  Then, using Dazzling Details and a blender pen some glitter was applied to the wings.

A piece of Hello Honey satin ribbon was adhered near the top of the card, and a bow attached using a glue dot.
Each bee unit was attached to the left card front.  The middle one was attached with dimensionals.
Above the bow the sentiment "Bee Mine" was stamped on Whisper White, punched out with a 3/4" circle punch, layered onto a Window punchie in Hello Honey and then a small oval punchie in Crumb Cake,
