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.


























Supplies List

adhesive: glue dots, Scotch ATG
embossing: Stampendous Black Detail emb powder
ink:  Versamark
machine: Sizzix
marker: black Sharpie
paper:  vellum   cardstock - yellow, Echo Park Country Drive, Kraft
Spellbinder: die - Nest Hexagon - to cut out Bee
stamp:  Reverse Confetti The Buzz - sentiment, Bee
stickles: mustard seed - on Bee's stripes
tool:  MISTI
wobble: added to back of Bee 


Entering this into the following challenges:

 (use some of the colors inspired by this picture somewhere on your creation)
You don't have to use all of these colors, or only these colors, but please use at least 2!

colors used - top color which I'm seeing as a clear color so my use is the vellum,
   bottom color which I'm seeing as brown so my use is Kraft brown for base
