This week we are featuring Bumblebee and I hope we will inspire you with our creations of this bright happy colour.
Bumblebee is one of the new In Colors for 2020-2022 and is from the In Color Collection. Bumblebee comes in a range of Stampin' Up! products such as the Classic Stampin' Pad, Cardstock, DSP and more.
The inspiration for my card was the striped DSP from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, I just love the brightness & happiness of this paper! The colours in the DSP are Bumblebee, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade. I've also used these bold colours, but a softer tone for my Watercolor Sunflower and leaves. The good thing with the Watercolor paper is you can add lots of water and ink to the paper. Using Whisper White Cardstock for the sunflower & leaves dies and Gold Foil for the smaller leaf sprigs dies.
The long scolloped die from the Peony Dies, is stunning in Gold Foil and I've placed the strip alongside the DSP. The layer underneath is a wash of Bumblebee Ink, using the wide bristle brush from the Water Painters and I've inked up the Shimmery White Cardstock. It's amazing how light Bumblebee ink can be.
Before adding the Sunflower and leaves, I've placed a strip of Magenta Madness Ribbon under the strip of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, they go so nicely together and adding a Gold Trim Bow was a must!
To finish, I added three of the Bumblebee 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots. They are so cute!

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love that striped paper too - but what I really love about this is what you have done with the sunflower watercolouring. So yummy.
ReplyDeleteI really love this card Vicki, the colouring is beautiful and I love the colour combination that you have taken from the DSP just a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteLovely Card Vicki, The striped DSP behind the white filigree flower is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love that particular sheet of DSP too Vicki an e you have certainly done it justice with all your beautiful layers of Bumblebee brilliance! Thank you for inspiring us all with your Bumblebee creations xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bright colour combo Vicki! So different from others. Such a cheery card!
ReplyDeleteVicki, this is such a pretty card, especially the lovely water colouring on your sunflower. I love the soft Bumblebee wash behind the flower and all of the gorgeous elements that make up this pretty card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, as always, Vicki! I love the white overlay, on the beautifully soft coloured flower. Who knew that Bumblebee could be so subtle, when watered down? Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove that big water coloured sunflower, stunning. That strip of patterned paper is perfect to brighten up the tones and the use of gold foil is a great addition.
