What We Do Best Challenge - Week 2 (Get Well)

Hey, Stampers! I sure hope everyone is staying safe and healthy these days. I've had a bit of down time, so I've been playing along with the Technique Junkies What We Do Best Challenges. Each week is a different theme, and there is a $50 prize for the randomly selected winner. This is week 2 and the theme is Get Well. If you would like all the details of the contest, here is the link which includes last week's winner:  https://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com/2020/04/tj-inkspiration-wwdb-challenge-week-one.html

I had a lot of fun using some older stamps and showing them some love. Here is my project:

I started with a black A2 card base. To that I added a layer of yellow cardstock. On another piece of yellow cardstock I stamped in black ink the Growing Wild Image:

GROWING WILD S661

I added some beautiful shimmer with TJ's Shimmering Bliss (Mindaro). I love the sheen it gives to the project. I added a black layer to that and attached it to the card. On a framed piece of vellum, using black ink, I stamped the sentiment and attached a bow. The sentiment is from this set:

BEE QUOTES S402

On a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the adorable bee, also from the Bee Quotes set, two times - once for the base of the bee and once to secure the wings which were stamped on gold vellum. After trimming out my pieces and assembling the bee, I attached it to the card using foam squares. I then added some glossy accent to give the bee even more character. I curled the vellum wings up a bit so the whole bee would literally stand out from the card.

For the inside of the card, I used a gray ink to stamp multiples of the bee. I also did the same for the envelope front and inside panel. I used a sentiment from this set for the inside:

SIMPLE SENTIMENTS 2B SS02B

This card is all ready to be sent on to someone to brighten their day.
