I love making cards with birds, flowers and butterflies and the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers are just perfect for me because they do amazing birds, flowers and butterflies for me to use! Once all the dies are cut and the layers are put together it does not take that long to make the card which makes me happy. I love using sentiments that suit all occasions and this sentiment is just so cheery and sweet.

I am sure that whoever gets this card will be cheered up with the cute bird with the bird’s nest and the gorgeous Dogwood flowers on a gorgeous texture background.

I have another card featuring Honey Bee Stamps products and this time I have used the Spring Greenery and Birds dies. These are just fabulous and so easy to make cards with.

My project.

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ top folding base card. I then die cut a piece of light blue cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and adhere it to the front of the card. I have then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and die cut it using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Base – Honey Cuts. I sponged around the edges with Sky Blue ink and then adhere it to the front of the card. I die cut two dies using the Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Top – Honey Cuts, stacked them together and adhered it to the front of the card.

I have die cut the bird using blue, red, black, grey and cream cardstock. I have sponged blue ink on the winds and body of the bird before assembling it and adhering it to the top right of the card.

I have die cut a range of leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery and adhered them on the bottom left of the card. I die cut the flowers out of blue and purple cardstock and sponged the edges with Lavender Fields ink before assembling them and adding them over the leaves.

To finish I have stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments stamp set in Jet Black ink on white cardstock. I have die cut this with the coordinating die and also die cut another plain die. These were adhered together with the stamped image on top and adhere to the bottom right of the card.

Another seagull picture. This one was resting a leg. I like the bokeh affect of the waves in the background.

Two days ago I went to Petone Beach to take photographs of the Queen Mary II in Wellington Harbour. I took the opportunity of trying out taking photos of different subjects to have a change from flower photos. Here are a few shots that I took.
