BEE HAPPY (1)

I created a Magic Iris card, with the Little Fireflies stamp set from Lawn Fawn. The fireflies in this card are actually bees and the Magic Iris will be the beehive.

I formed the Magic Iris and used the Magic Iris Scalloped Add-On for the front. I die ut it from No. 2 Pencil cardstock. I ink blended the edges with Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink. For the scalloped front, I added some folds with a bone folder, to create the look of an actual beehive.

For the inside of the Magic Iris, I took a stencil from Darkroom Door: the Arty Hexagon stencil. I ink blended the hexagons with Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink.

The tab for the Magic Iris was die cut from Black Licorice cardstock and the arrow from No. 2 Pencil cardstock.

For the background of the card I used the Clouds stencil from My Favorite Things and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink for blending. I also die cut a Grassy Border, from Cilantro carsdtock. I ink blended the edges with Lucky Clover Oxide Ink.

I stamped the images. I also used images from For You Deer, Smooth Sailing and Toadally Awesome. I colored everything with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Bees: Y02 - Y08/ W5 - W7/ BG000 - B00
Bears: E41 - E43/ E04
Log: E74 - E79

I fussy cut the images and added the Magic Iris, the grass border and all the images to the cloudy background.

For the sentiment I die cut the word 'bee' from Black Licorice cardstock, using the Oliver's Stitched ABCs die set. The word happy was stamped and heat embossed with Lawn Fawn embossing powder.

As a finishing touch I added some highlights and dots to the images, using a white gelly roll pen.

I'm super happy with the result of the card.
