I used this gorgeous Wildflower Garden Cling Stamp from Hero Arts.

First of all I cut out the shape on my Silhouette Cameo, you can download the SVG from their website. I coloured the stamp with Distress Markers then sprayed with a Studio Calico Shine Mister ( really sparkly IRL) , then using a stamp positioner stamped onto neenah card. I cut out 2 Spellbinders ovals and while the die was still in place I sprayed using a copic airbrush and a B23 copic marker.

For the background I used a Flourish Background stamp, inked with versamark and embossed with White embossing powder, I then used the resist technique and coloured with Spun Sugar distress ink. I distressed all the edges and coloured the layering papers with the same copic marker.

Now comes the best bit !!! :-) I used some FABULOUS new Simon Says Stamp Exclusives Dies !! I used a Hexigon Border, looks like a honeycomb, and a gorgeous Allegro corner, I coloured these with Wild Honey DI. I layered everything onto a Hero Arts Notecard and usep pop dots to raise up the flower. I stamped and cut out 2 little Hero Arts bees coloured and glittered and glossy accents added to their heads. I finished with my compulsory Star Dust Stickles and some Hero Arts Twine

I decorated the inside too and used a Simon Says Stamp ‘Oh Happy Day, die and a bee to make the words ,, Happy B’ Day !! ,,, does it work ?? :-)

I really had fun making this, there is something about making the background papers yourself ,, :-)
