Just Bee-Cause Card for the Friday Funday Challenge #202 feat Digital Stamps by Louby Loo

I printed my image on some Canson XL watercolor cardstock and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color it in. I really enjoy using these markers, as they allow me to color in images really quickly, and by blending them out with water I get nice shadows and highlights with one marker only! Once I was done coloring my image, I fussy cut it using my Cutterbee scissors. 

For the card design I followed the sketch that is the optional twist for this week’s challenge:

I took some yellow cardstock, I cut it at 4 by 5 1/5 inches, and I used a circular die from the Tonic Studios set to cut a window in the upper half of my front panel. 

To back my window and to create the two stripes on the sides of my card I used patterned paper from the Doodlebug Spring Things 6×6″ paper pad. 

I used Tombow Mono Multi glue to adhere everything in place, and I tucked the bee behind the window for an extra fun effect. The sentiment belongs to the Bee Happy Birdbrain digi set by From the Hearth Stamps, which is a freebie in their store. As a finishing touch I added some Nuvo Drops in Ebony Black in the spots suggested by the sketch.

And that’s it for today’s card! This was a really quick one to make –  after a few quite intricate cards (like this one over here, for example – talk about intricate!) I have to say that it felt really refreshing to make something pretty in a short amount of time! 🙂 And I really hope you like it too!
