Bee-lated Birthday Card

Made this Bee-lated Birthday Card using a wonderful new stamp set that a friend gave me bee-cause she knows how much I like Bees.

Used a sketch which you can see below.

Used vellum which I like a lot on the Bee's wings. Heat embosssed the sentiment. Was nervous I would mess up on heat embossing the sentiment so I cut a separate piece of Kraft cardstock to emboss the sentiment on and then inserted at top right corner. Like the way you cannot tell that it is a separate piece over the Kraft base. Added stickles. Added a wobble to back of Bee.
