i bee-lieve...

 Hello!  Hope things are good in your part of the world!  I'm popping in with a card for the Paper Players and Freshly Made Sketches.   The Paper Players challenge is a fun one this week.  They are asking us to create a clean and simple card with at least one bee on it.  I pulled out the stamps and dies from the Hero Arts January My Monthly Hero kit and got to work.  I stamped the three bees using black ink and then colored them with Copic markers.  I had some patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps with a fun bee theme and pulled out a piece with a honeycomb pattern in shades of aqua (or maybe teal?).  I die cut the patterned paper to fit my white cardstock panel and adhered it with foam tape.  I die cut a label and stamped it with the sentiment using black ink.   The sentiment was adhered along with two of the bees and I adhered the panel to a light aqua cardstock base.  I die cut a second panel of white cardstock, adhered the third bee and then stamped the rest of the sentiment.  For a finishing touch I added Stickles to the wings, but you can't see it in the photo.   To make things easier on myself I took a photo of the inside panel before adhering it inside the card! 




Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

SO cute! I forgot, I have some of that Honey Bee paper too...I have LOTS of bee stuff! The blue really makes your bees stand out, and that's a perfect sketch too. Sweet inside and out! Thanks for playing with my CAS bee challenge this week!
