Hey there!
Hope your weekend was good and your week is going well.
I looked in my stamps for anything appropriate and came up with Cornish Heritage Farms castles/buildings and a Scrollswork Elizabethan couple embracing. So I stamped the buildings on a 4x6 precut torn-edge watercolor card, sketched a scene around them and then stamped the couple on another piece of card and fussy cut it. I colored my scene with watercolors, added the couple and the sentiment which was created in PSE and printed out. Since my sentiment is from a Shakespearean play set in Medina, Sicily, I searched images of it online and tried to make my sketched scene look like that area.
Don't know how close I came but I tried!
Heehee
All's well that ends well!

I got out Creative Stamping Issue 99's Sentimentally Yours stamps, my Amazon bee wreath die, a Momenta small bee die and Pink Paislee's Queen Bee designer papers to make this card for him. I needed something round to put behind the wreath and found this Webster's Pages round die cut. I stamped the bee balm on the vertical strip element and colored with Promarkers, as I did the center die cut bee. I made his wings blue to blend with the round paper piece. I stamped the sentiment on some yellow vellum, heat-embossed it, outlined the top line with a white gel pen, die cut it with Clear Dollar Stamp label dies and some brown scrap card, and popped it onto the card with foam tape.

Well, that's what I have this time.
Hope your week goes well.
Thanks for the visit!
XOXO

I have those same Cornish Heritage Farm castles. I haven't used them in a while. And that's a great couple on your postcard. I remember when castles and other such images were popular. and nice birthday card for the hubby. It speaks to me with the bees. :) I like the wreath too. It works well. I hope the honey had a great birthday. How's the moving going by the way? hugs-Erika

You always create beauty in a card. Truly stunning.
Lovely Shakespeare card, well executed 👍🏼🎭
Your castles scene is amazing. I think I have a similar CHF digital castle somewhere. I'm going to have to look. Hubby's card is awesome too. Happy Belated Birthday to him.
Such an awesome card for your honey, Aimeslee! Love the composition and well-thought-out color choices. Your sketch has turned out really well, too. All of that effort into looking for reference images, well done. Hope you are having a wonderful month. Anita xx
