Cottage Meadow Collage by Jean Okimoto

Create a summer garden collage card with Cottage Meadow Rub Ons and golden Buzzing Bumblebees. It's colorful, easy - and there's no measuring! Hi, Jean here with a versatile basic design - and a great way to create a layered background for rub ons, stamped images or diecuts.

Cut the blocks from the Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set from mustardy-yellow cardstock. Cut the Cottage Meadow Rub Ons leaving a generous margin around the blossoms and leaves.

Carefully remove the paper liner and gently tap the rub on onto the diecut block. Cover it with printer paper to protect it from any scratches on the diecutting plate. Run it through the machine using the plates you'd use for diecutting. Carefully remove the plastic liner.

Diecut Buzzing Bumblebees from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6 and the gold Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6. I cut all of the pieces from both 6x6's and saved the extras for other projects.

Assemble the 3 bees.

Cover a piece of the yellow cardstock with ScorTape and cut the Hello Breezy Script background. Cut the delicate top layer from a Greenery Solid Core 6x6 - leave it in the die and use a piercing tool to remove the little pieces in the e, l's and o. Press the diecut (still in the die) firmly onto the adhesive-covered background. Cover the exposed adhesive with detail clear embossing, tap off the excess, then heat-emboss it to adhere the top layer and add a glossy background.
