I had to enter the Mojo Monday sketch challenge this week. I already had this card made and was so surprised to see the sketch was the same layout I had put together. I love it when things are easy!
The postage stamp punch is new to me and I had fun experimenting with how to use it. Here I stamped the bee and flower image from the Nature's Pace stamp set and cropped it with the postage stamp punch.
The pleated strip was made by attaching two long strips of Patterns Designer Series paper together and then folding them into pleats in a kind of random way - not entirely straight. I stitched it down the middle to hold it to the card and to hold the pleats down. The zig zag like stitch at the very edge is one of many decorative stitches on my sewing machine and I thought it resembled the edge of a honeycomb.
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and die cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits.
