Christmas bees with Kaja

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have made a cute Christmas card using one of the coolest animals out there — bees!

Take a look:

I started making this card by stamping out three bees from Honey bees stamp set in black ink. Then, I picked out some cute accessories and a Christmas tree from Winter Kobi stamp set and stamped it in the same black ink. I colored the images in using alcohol markeres in soft tones. Once I was happy with the colored images, I added some details using white gel pen.

Next, I started making the background for which I used soft yellow color that matches the bees perfectly and Studio Katia brushes. I put the color only behind the tree, so now it looks like the light is coming from behind the tree. I masked the bottom part of the background to get a nice snowy hill.

Next, I die cut the background out with the Scallop square die. This gave the background a nice finished looked. I also left the thin scalloped border around the edges which makes the background even more interesting.

The last think I added was the sentiment that reads ‘Holiday greetings’ and can be found in Happy snowman stamp set. I used black ink and I centered the sentiment on the white hill.

I then glued everything together using double sided foam tape and liquid glue.

Thank you so much for joining me!
