Bumblebee Circle Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Bumblebee Circle Card. :o)

For my card I used an ADORABLE Kitty Bee Designs 'Bumblebee Cutie' digital image. This is my second card I made using this image. You can find the first one here. :o)

How I made my card....

I printed the bumblebee twice, one on a white cardstock paper and second on a watercolor paper. I left images dry through the night to prevent ink smearing while coloring.

I die cut a wonky stitched circle in the white cardstock paper. I cut two black circles in a black cardstock paper, glued them together and created a card base. Then I glued the white wonky stitched circle panel on the card base.

Next up was coloring. I colored the bumblebee in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. First I colored wings, legs and sting of the bumblebee printed on the cardstock paper. The rest of the image I colored with a black marker. Then I colored the bumblebee printed on the watercolor paper. After drying, I fussy cut the bumblebee (I cut away wings, sting, legs and antennas), traced edges with the black marker, softened image with a stylus ball and glued it over the bee printed on the cardstock paper.

As a finishing touch I coated bumblebee's wings and sting with Clear Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: d = 83 mm  (3.25")

List of supplies:

• Kitty Bee Designs 'Bumblebee Cutie' digital image
• white cardstock paper
• black cardstock paper
• thin white watercolor paper

I hope you'll like my today's KBD spotlight project and get inspired. I have another KBD spotlight project to share this month and that will be on Thursday. Stop by. :o) 

Update May 31st, 2018
I smeared my second spotlight project at the end. I tried to fix it and teared a paper. At that point card was not fixable and I threw it away.
