All occasion card featuring a watercolured bee an blue strips over yellow lines

I used another of the images I watercoloured loosely when I was making this cardthis card. I features a cute little bee with shimmerly wings. I ran my pattern tracing wheel on all four sides and also to create a flight path for the bee.  I cut a large blue card to fit in the envelope from my stash.  I layered on some yellow striped paper and then added three blue strips of cardstock which I embellished with some paper piercing with my tracing wheel.  I added the faux stitching with a black sharpie marker.  

For a special person who likes these colours!!

All occasion card featuring a stack of cups, some ribbon flags over a hand painted decorative paper background

I made this card for DH for Father's Day!!  I started with a large envelope and trimmed out an ivory card to fit.  I added the hand decorated background paper after adding several lines of paper piercing to it.  I watercoloured the stacked cups (Cre8tive Hands), added four lines of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel and then layered it onto a brown rectangle.  Added some little ribbon flags secured with double sided tape and then added this focal element to my card with 3D foam tape.  
I am very grateful that I shared child raising duties with him!!
