Summer Sunshine at Allsorts Challenge

Good morning, it's time already for our new theme at Allsorts challenge. Wendy is hosting this week and she chose the theme of "Summer Sunshine", meaning she wants to see yellow as the main color. I hope you'll decide to join us. We do have a prize this week coming from JMC Designs

I thought the color yellow works well with a bee themed stamp, so that's what I used.


The image stamp I used is from Hero Arts, I purchased it directly from Hero Arts, but it appears to be out of stock at the moment. I did find it available at Michaels online if you're in the US. The stamp is called Antique Bee and Flowers. By the way, Michaels currenty has a 20% off sale (of everything full price) when you use Promo Code: 20MAKE4120 valid until June 18th and free US ground shipping on online orders of $59 and up.

The image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Ink and colored with Copic markers. My stencil is actually a chicken wire stencil from TCW but also works as a honeycomb design. I used Mustard Stain Distress ink with a little bit of Wild Honey ink along the edges. The sentiment comes from the set Blooming Sentiments by Penny Black, heat embossed in white on black card stock using Versamark ink and white embossing powder. I decided to stamp a script border across the bottom portion (stamp is old from Whimsy Stamps), and then finished it off by adding a yellow button with jute twine. My card base is heavy weight cardstock from Michaels.


Stamps: Hero Arts Antique Bee and Flowers // Penny Black Blooming Sentiments // Whimsy Stamps Border (retired)



Thanks so much for visiting!! Hope you're having a good weekend. I need to get the grapevine I puchased planted this weekend, but my husband needs to build some sort of a trellis first. Looking forward to homegrown grapes already, although it'll probably be a while 😀

Ellie I love this bee card - so beautifully stenciled and stamped. The yellows are gorgeous
I have just today finished cleaning up the detritus from under my grape vine, which is now dormant. Hope yours (eventually) fruits as wonderfully as mine did this past summer
Stay safe
Blessings

What a great take on the theme Ellie, hadn't occurred to me to use Bee's but it's such a perfect one as the gardens are full of them tight now. Loving the delicate floral wreath as well.

This beautiful card caught my eye at once Ellie! I love the image and adore that you've set it on a panel of sunshine-coloured honeycomb. The button and twine make the perfect finishing touch. Good luck with the grape vine - how lovely to be able to eat freshly picked grapes! Vicky x

Thanks so much Vickie! Hoping all goes well with the grape. It's in the ground but no permanent trellis yet. Lowes ran out of the 4x4's we needed but the grape is still small.
