Bee Happy!

 Hi everyone & happy July!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

This month is... ANYTHING GOES!!

 We would love to see your projects that use some of those awesome

 Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 

1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking

2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at the card that I created for the challenge:

I love all things Bees and Gnomes so why not combine them?? haha!

I started my card by die cutting some patterned paper using the Card Mat Dies and adhering it to my white card base. I die cut two hexagons using the Stitched Hexagons Die, once from Vellum and again in a honeycomb patterned paper. I adhered my two hexagons together and cut off one edge before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnomie dressed up like a little bee keeper using the following dies: Girl Gnome Die, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Hair Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons, Gnome Faces Stamp and using the Gnome Dies for the flower. Once I had her built, I added a little blush to her check using some Copic markers and adhered her to the center of the hexagon. I created my sentiment by stamping the HAPPY from the Happy Hello Add Ons 2 using some Versafine Ink and using the coordinating Happy Hello Add Ons 2 Outline Dies and popping it up with foam adhesive. I used the Buzzing With My Gnomies stamp set to do a little selective stamping. I carefully stamped just the word Bee onto some black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder, trimming it down and adding it to the top of my card. I added some hearts using the Embellishment Cluster Die and the Banner Dies, along with a few white Nuvo drops, to complete my card. So super cute!
