Sunshine HoneyBee Card

Created this Sunshine HoneyBee Card using Peachy Keen sketch, Echo Park papers, Cricut cartridges, Peachy Keen stamp, ribbon & a Beehive embellishment. The Echo Park papers are double-sided. The Honeycomb paper is my fav since my nickname is HoneyBee. The Sun is from Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. Chose to layer the Sun this way & hide the face so I could use my Peachy Keen stamp.
Stamped the Sun with a Peachy Keen Happy Lashes stamp.
The Bee is from Sentimentals. This is first time using the Sentimentals cartridge since it was not linked to my Gypsy. Found it odd that the Bee cuts the antennae slimmer on right than the left and it tore the first time I lifted my image off the page. Wish that the narrow slim parts would be a little wider to prevent this or at least be same size as the left side in this case because the left side antenna did not tear. Used yellow glitter on both the Sun & Bee. Tied white grosgrain ribbon to the right side and attached a Beehive embellishment that I got at the Live Green event in Plano. Did not put a sentiment on the outside of the card so I can use it for any number of occasions.



















Cricut cartridges:
Create a Critter 3" Sun - chose to layer the Sun this way and hid the face so I could use my Peachy Keen stamp
Sentimentals 3" Bee 


embellishment: Bee Hive - got this from Go Green event


ink: Memento Tuxedo Black


paper:
Echo Park double-sided paper - Bee's Knees & Clouds
cardstock - black, white & 3 shades of yellow


stamp: Peachy Keen PK-461 Happy Lashes
