Two Cards From One Neon Bee

 I dropped Neon Aqua Pigments on a Colorado Craft Company embossed Honey Bee (posted on my instagram yesterday).

Today I finished with two cards. ;)

Colorado Craft Company Honey Bee, Brutus Monroe Neon Aqua Pigments/Marshmallow Embossing Powder/Foundation Square and Rectangle Dies

Here's a look at the blacklight activated feature of these pigments~

Here's the original place I cut the image~using a Square die.

I had to salvage the remainder...there's no way I could toss that out!

Hence, the second card came about. ;)

Your Strength is Your Crown

I wanted this crown, but was intimidated when I received it (it's a big crown ;) ).

 

I knew I wanted to color it, even though it's a solid image.

 Colorado Craft Company Big & Bold~A Queen's Crown, Copic BG49, Catherine Pooler Sauna ink, Studio Katia Gray Clouds Crystals, Brutus Monroe Slate Cardstock

These colors gave me the perfect combo to work with~

(I have a weakness for mustard at the moment)
