Don't Worry Bee Happy!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!

Here is my card for today's AMAZING Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) as well as for the Double Dare Card Challenge, DDCC80, Bee Happy!!

For my card, I used my beloved Garden Party Critters from Taylored Expressions (I {heart} this set!!), and stamped the bee hive in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored it with Copic Markers.

I cut it out and embossed it with Circle Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe. The sentiment, "Don't Worry Bee Happy" is also from Garden Party Critters and I also cut it out and sponged it. I created the rounded corners on the bottom panel with the Corner Chomper...this tool ROCKS my world!

ALL the cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon on my card are from the Garden Party Project Pantry Kit, which is still available from Taylored Expressions. I have used this kit SO much! It's PERFECT for all of your summery cards! Once it's gone, it's gone, so get yours now!

I stamped the bees, also from Garden Party Critters, colored them with Copic Markers and then cut them out. After I placed them where I wanted them on my card, I added Crystal Stickles to their wings to make them shimmer a bit! I had SO much fun making this card!!

Check out what the AMAZING SFYTT sisters have done with this sketch right here!!
