Just Bee-Cause!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

The sun is shining bright and I'm enjoying looking out my window and listening to the birds chirp while I write this post. 

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I was able to make yesterday, inspired by a few challenges. The challenges that I would like to play along with are:

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Add A Sentiment--

--Make My Monday: #221 Spring Flowers, Weather, Etc.--

&

--Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge #568--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I loved that sketch and this stamp set from Sunny Studio immediately came to mind when I saw it!

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card base and popping up a white scallop rectangle on top with foam tape. I cut some small strips of patterned paper and added them to my card front. I stamped my images using some black Memento ink and colored them with my Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them out and popped them up onto my circle pieces. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of patterned paper and tucked it under my circle focal point. To finish my card, I used an older SU! punch to cut out my leafy "branch" and adhered that, being sure to tuck it behind the bee hive. 

Those little bees are just so cute!

Copic Colors Used:

--Beehive: Y18, Y19, Y26, E33, E35--

--Bees: Y11, Y13, Y15, C6, BG000, BG0000--

I hope you have a great crafty day!
