Bee Happy by Tracy Jackson

Good morning Bee Arty fans...

Today I have a card I wanted to share using this stunning stamp called Forever Always 

As with any cards I make I always pick out the paper first and base my colours around that.
So for inspiration I picked out a sheet from the Love and Grace paper collection

The following photos gives you an idea of the colouring sequence I tend to use. Although I would normally do the skin in any image first I was quite keen to start on the flowers.

I used copics as my basic background the prisma pencils to highlight.

All red and blue spaces filled - time for the yellow daises

And finally the skin and hair. 

Time to fussy cut

At this stage I inked all around the edges of the lady, cut all my paper layers, and because her face will take up the majority of the card face I felt it didn't need any embellishments

I also for "Bee Happy" in the Love and Grace collection to use for my words

Finally I placed all together.

I really enjoyed losing myself in this card while colouring her. Its the sort of image that calls for a lot of colouring but you will be rewarded with the end result

Until next time... Happy crafting
