Well, only one ‘bees’ at the moment. As in a card featuring bees. The second card is buzzing around (sorry) in my head and is mid-construction, but I’m not sure that what I want to do is actually possible. Which means it goes onto the ‘when I have more time’ pile, or to that farm in the country…..
I have seen a few people embossing patterned paper and thought it looked pretty interesting, and this bee print from Craftwork Cards seemed like a perfect match for my Crafter’s Companion honeycomb folder, alongside the FREE hexagonal dies I used a few weeks ago for my ‘Quilty as charged’ post.
It’s interesting, because embossing printed paper seems to change the texture in a way that embossing plain paper, well, doesn’t really! It feels softer, more pliable. If you remember ever coming across those small leaves of face powder that had been transferred in a really thin layer onto a matchbook size sheet of paper (probably in the 1950s), to deal with the dreaded shiny nose, it feels a bit like that!
Other than that, I have added wellies, a watering can and greeting and a bit of baker’s twine. A totally flat and very easy card.
Here’s a bit of detail, should you be keen for a close-up!

What a great card! I love the honeycomb texture on the lovely bee print paper and the soft colours you have used here Gillian 🙂

That Crafter’s Companion set is fab isn’t it-I need to have another play with mine. Soft colours work so well with that paper and embossing. 😊

I love the “wellies” or rain boots! Have you used flowers coming out of them? Love this card.

Thank you. And to answer your question, not with these ones, but I have done that with boots from a different range. You’re right, it is fun to do!
