So Happy We BEE Friends

I know some of you are familiar with Scrappinbee from the Cricut message board, well I did this card with her in mind. She loves bees like I love ladybugs!! I kept looking at the bee's on Walk In My Garden wondering what I could do with them. It took me several days to get what was in my head out on the paper. I had the most difficulty getting the papers to look right.

After I got done with the card I wasn't happy with it...not at all. I tossed them to the side and went to bed. The next morning when I looked at them....I LIKED THEM!! I think we all do that sometimes.

I used Walk In My Garden for the bees and the flowers. The patterned paper is from last years DCWV spring stack. I used my Purple Cows Cutter with the deckle blade for the cuts on the mat and strips. The sentiment is computer generated. I used the Stampin UP scallop punch, the EK Success 1.5" circle and 1.25" circle punches. I added a bee stamp to the inside of the card for a little decoration. My neighbor Naomi liked this one so much she kept one for herself to give to a friend of hers.





Here is a close up shot of the bees and flowers. I used Mica cardstock for the bees bodies and pearlescent vellum for the wings. And I doodled, and doodled and doodled some more!! I had the flowers cut out in white but the looked kinda lost so I used a Stampin Up marker to give them some color, but left some of the white to peek through.
