Bee Happy and Rudolph Days

Morning Peeps, I'm no scheduled posts for the next couple of weeks as we are off sunning ourselves  (at least I hope it's sunny) on another Celebrity ship taking in the waves with a glass or two of all things bubbles.................no I'm not really fussy so long as there are bubbles. I won't be using the on board WiFi, unlimited use was a free perk option, but a drinks package and a hefty on board credit was far more appealing, so will see you all when we return.

This weeks Allsorts theme is hosted by Tracy Mouse and it's a real fun one of 'Insects, Bugs, Bees and Butterflies'. And we have a the perfect prize to fit the theme, an A4 stamp sheet full of all the things Tracy had in mind for her theme.

I had two cards sitting my my Chocolate Baroque folder which had not been blogged and both fit the theme perfectly. For the one at the top I used a die to cut out the three honeycomb shapes and used foam pads to raise the piece over a piece of yellow DP, but before fixing into place used two CB stamps to add the sentiment into one of the apertures. Stamped, cut out and coloured two bees, fixed in place and used liquid pearls to create the 'trail' of their flight.

The background of this one is Distress Oxides, the floral harlequin image stamped to the left of the panel, cleaned the stamp and inked just the harlequin section to add more pattern before adding a Butterfly which is also CB.

And I remembered as I was doing some packing that when this post goes live the new Rudolph Days challenge will be in full swing, so above is my share for that, I am going to have to try and add the link from my tablet at a friendly cafe somewhere, now that will be testing for sure as the keyboard and I don't get on, have to use a desktop to do any typing.

So as it's a bit of a last minute addition I hope you will forgive the lack of info on my card other than it's a Stamp Addicts sample for Hochanda, Distress Inks, die cut aperture, some twine and a button.

Happy weekend all.
