Bee TY Kindness Card

Used mostly Tim Holtz items to make this Bee themed card.

I used a special cutting plate on my Sizzix, Tim Holtz Dimensional Cutting Pad, that has a bevel part in center that when placed over the die it cuts the image so it is popped up and not cut in the center. I like the dimension that using this special cutting plate gives the image.

Die cut multiple times so I could paper piece the Bee to have yellow bottom & vellum wings. Added antennae to the Bee using some scrap pieces of black cardstock.

  14. This is so cute, Melissa. That bee almost looks real. I just purchased a super cute bumble bee set, and I thought of you when I picked it out. I'll try to let you know when I finally create something with it. Thanks so much for sharing it in our challenge. I'm so grateful to have you play along, and I hope that you will join us again real soon.
    Have a blessed week, and God bless you!
