Happy New Year, Everyone! It's time to kick off the new year with another new challenge at Gingersnap Creations. This one (GC 133) is easy and oh-so-fun: Get out your favorite Stamp Set or Line of Stamps and show us your creation! The sponsor this month is Stampotique Originals, and you will have a chance at a fab prize from them if you link up your project to the GC post. I decided to use the Jo Capper-Sandon line from Stampotique on my card. First, I stamped the Large Bee on both scrap cardstock and acetate - used Versamark and black embossing powder on the cardstock one, and black StazOn for the acetate. I colored the bee and cut out all but the wings. One the acetate image, I colored the reverse side of the wings with a blue Copic marker, then cut out the wings and attached them to the cardstock bee using Glossy Accents.
After that, I glopped some glossy accents into the center part of the bee that is supposed to be the fuzziest part, and generously poured on some black Fun Flock from Stampendous. Oh, I love this little bee, LOL!
The background was created with a TCW Mini Chicken Wire Template and Maya Mists in Sunflower Yellow and Fig Magenta. The Gingersnap Creations overall theme this month is Getting Organized and to use our scraps, so I used a pretty little embossed and watercolored scrap to mat my "Wish" sentiment, also from Stampotique (stamped on a leftover piece from my background). A big ol' pink flower and an adorable little bee paperclip that I've been hoarding finish it off. Can't wait to give this one to someone special. :)
