Bee Happy

Happy Sunday friends. I hope this finds you all well and keeping safe and most importantly staying at home.  This is a testing time for all of us, but it has given us time to stop and share time with distant friends via the internet. Last night we connected with friends in the USA who we had planned to see this summer, but often don't connect in between times. It was good to Zoom with them and get all the news about kids and life and how we are dealing with the pressures of what is happening to us all.  It reminded me that we all need to 'BE Happy' and this card that I promised and forgot to share following one I made with some ladies at a Stampin' Up! party.  That card used the  Flowering Foils papers with the Painted Poppies.   Whilst the promotion is over the papers I'm sure for many of you live on and so it's still good to see what you can do with them.  

For today's share I used the offcuts from the Painted Poppies cards to colour them with Stampin' Write Markers and use them as a rainbow of hope style card.  Again I used a stamp from Painted Poppies to add ink splatter in the same colours from the brights collection before adding the strips of coloured foil paper.  

I stamped the small bee from Stampin' Up! Honey Bee and die cut it out to create the 'Be' for my sentiment.  The happy is part of the Merry Christmas die set in the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue.
If you didn't get the Flowering Foils papers then you could as an alternative heat emboss strips of white card and colour them with markers or indeed you might want to look at the new Ornate Garden Specialty Papers which include some foiled papers that you could create the same effect with.
