Using the resist technique I stamped the main image onto sticky back canvass coloured with distress inks then buffed up the embossing. Fraying the edges of the canvas took for ever! :)
The canvas was originally intended for my piece for the CH exhibition but wasn't big enough.... had to do it all again!!
The background for the canvass is stamped with the same flowers in perfect medium , there's a tiny little bee in there too, then coloured with DI around the edges.
The bee was stamped directly onto the card then stamped again onto card and the body part coloured, cut out and adhered to the card.

3 super cards, I like the bird song image, it's a very graceful image, is it a stamp? Gorgeous.

I'm a bit behind in my comments! Your inspiration card inspired me to choose bees rather than birds! Thanks for dropping by my blog yesterday and for leaving kind words.
I keep not being able to comment here Suzi - but I clicked something in frustration today and it worked! I love all your beautiful cards - the emboss-resist technique is great on the first and those red and white bird cards are really elegant. Vx
