Bees, Cosmos and a Butterfly
Hi,
This is Susan on the blog today. I needed to make a very special birthday card for a dear young woman. She is expecting her fourth child so I needed to knock this out of the park. The pink butterfly represents their daughter and the 3 bees are their sons. The third bee, who is not quite here yet, is just tucked under the large "mama" flower. As you can see on the detail shot, I used a lot of 3M Foam tape.
I got out my standard sized MISTI and stamped out WPlus9 Designs Flora and Fauna 3 onto Arches 140 lb cold pressed water color paper. The MISTI is great for water color paper as I often have to stamp 3 times to get the image fully stamped. The MISTI keeps everything lined up until I am done with the stamping. I wanted a no-line look so I used InkOn3 Fade Out ink. I think used my water color palette to color everything in. Most of my paints are by Daniel Smith. The flower color is mostly Quinacridone Coral.

How to create the Slimline Card
First I used the Picket Fence Studios Slimline Nested Rectangles Dies to die cut my card front. I LOVE the finished edge and the pretty stitched border, it adds quiet interest to my cards.![](https://linkdeli.s3.amazonaws.com/public/placeholders/716a76a1-9617-4930-bcbc-dc01e8f4ac05.jpg)
