Bee Happy Journal Cover

 A friend asked for a journal cover. I knew

she liked bees, and vintage sewing. 

I was in a bee mood seeing how it is summer, so that is what I went with. 

Started with a piece of white cardstock.

Added some stenciling using distress ink. 

Then added the bees using jet black StazOn ink. 

I thought it was a little plain so I did some more stamping with

a script stamp. 

The word bee was made with little letters thinlit set from SU. 

Happy is also a from a SU set. Both were cut out using glossy black

cardstock. 

The panel was then layered on glossy black cardstock. 

Happy that I'm finding some ways to use this cardstock as I found

a big stash of it that I forgot I had. Bought it from Hollo's some years ago. 

I think you will be seeing me use much more of it. Halloween is coming

so it will be perfect for those projects! 

Happy 1st day of August!
