- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"" of black flowers on stems scattered over white background design from Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" square from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Make sure you have some paper (Grid Paper works great) at your work space.to protect the work surface. The Stampin' Blends Markers will bleed through the designer paper that you are coloring so you need to protect your work surface.
Place the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper rectangle on the work paper and start coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas. Work on one area at a time so the inks will be wet and will blend easier.
Use the Dark and Light Daffodil Delight Markers to color in the flowers.
Adhere the colored Golden Honey Designer Paper rectangle to the center of the Basic Black rectangle and then to the front of the Daffodil Delight card.
Mount the bee hive image from the Honey Bee Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large white rectangle.
Pick out the bee hive die from the Detailed Bee Dies. Put it on top of the stamped bee hive image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Adhere the bee hive cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and about 1-1/4" from the top.
Mount the "Celebrate every moment," "Thank You," or "Hello" sentiment from the Honey Bee Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white rectangle.
Pick out the short die with rounded ends from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Daffodil Delight 1/4" Ruched Ribbon so it has sharp angles on either end.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the back of the sentiment cut out so the ends stick out evenly on both sides. Secure in place with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
Remove the protective backings from the Dimensionals and adhere the sentiment cut out with ribbon attached to the front of the card so it is centered over the bee hive cut out.
Mount the small bee image from the Honey Bee Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Daffodil Delight square.
Pick out the small bee die from the Detailed Bee Dies. Put it on top of the stamped bee image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small bee cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so it covers the bottom left corner of the bee hive cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 Daffodil Delight flower sequins from a sheet of Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card.
