My FarmQuest #62 DT Bee-themed card on 14 October 2024

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

purpose: this posting features my newest rural outdoors theme DT project for FarmQuest #62. The theme is BEES. 

when: #62 starts October 14 and ends on October 27, 2024.

what: #62 bee-inspired card



notes: puffy hearts and dots are mimicking flying bees, hive, and also the words 'honey' and 'honeycomb' for #62 theme related elements

1. two base papers were overlapped to get wide enough 7-7.5" = SU

2. deep/bright orange cardstock mat = Recollections

3. hive clipart image was found at Clipart Library website; it's free for personal use; I printed it as black and white on white copy paper

4. used alcohol markers to color hive and also the 'white' dot and heart to become yellow = alcohol markers from Arteza

5. puffy dots and hearts = Freckled Fawn

6. Scripture text composed in a Google Doc; printed on white paper; colored with an orange Marvy watercolor pencil, measured, trimmed and adhered. 

7. black dual-tip marker for outlining of orange paper = Art Skills
