coffee pot makes

Hello Lovelies! How are you? We are good! Thanks for your kind comments and support about my dad - I really do appreciate it!

Today I have the cards to show you that we did at coffeepot on monday. I promised the ladies a bit of die cutting. Well we had to get inky too - I can't help myself! This is what we did!


We used distress inks and clarity stencils to create the backgrounds. The colours we used were fossilised amber and squeezed lemonade and wild honey.


I applied a layer of squeezed lemonade and then the fossilised amber and wild honey through stencils.


The bee was cut using a bee die from Tim Holtz. - this was embossed with a corresponding folder then I also cut some wings from packaging. I coloured the bee in distress markers. 

The ladies really enjoyed it!

Big hugs to you!

  20. I have a fear, not a rational one, but a fear not the less of flying critters. I even squeal if a butterfly comes too close and you know how much I adore using them and normally bee's don't grab me either but this is another awesome project, love the colours you've used and the die is just amazing Karen xx
