My husband had found a jar of springs and I had the idea of using a spring for a Bee on a card.
Used 2 different Hero Arts sets. Used one HA stamp/die set for Sunflower & Bee. Used another HA stamp for sentiment. Card can bee used for Mother's Day or another occasion.
Paper pieced the Sunflower. Used glossy accents to attach spring to card but also pushed the spring thru cardstock layer and tied it down so it would bee more secure. Used stickles for sparkle.
Supplies List
Hero Arts: stamp/die - Garden Flowers Set - Sunflower, Beet,
stamp - Butterflies - sentiment
ink: Delicata Golden Glitz - on edges of sentiment tag, VersaFine Onyx Black

You are always thinking of clever ideas and are inspired by ordinary events! I love how you gave some spring to your bee! This would be a delight to whoever received it and I'm so glad you shared your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
