Happy BEE Day! Birthday Card

Created this Happy BEE Day! Birthday Card by stamping on vellum paper & coloring with markers on reverse side of the stamped image.

Stamped vellum paper with Mark's Finest Papers Oopsy Daisy. Used PrismaColor markers to color the Daisy on the reverse side. Using vellum in this way is becoming a favorite technique of mine.

Used Spellbinders Nest Labels Eight to cut out the Daisy & layer from the Paper Company Bugs & Butterflies Buzzing Bees scrapbook paper. Cut out some Bees & flowers from scraps of the scrapbook paper. Used Spellbinders Floral Tags to make tag for sentiment & yellow flowers. Added glitter to yellow flowers.
