Whatever You Are BEE A Good One!

Well today's project is definitely "Yellow" again.  Maybe I'll find another Yellow Challenge!  Actually today I wanted to use a new Heidi Swapp stencil I had purchased at Michael's yesterday.  It is sold as a spray stencil with the Heidi Swapp sprays but I used it with a dauber and Stampin Up! ink pads.  I really liked this technique so perhaps I'll purchase a few more stencils. 

Here's the picture of my card..
 
I had already colored in the flowers from a Digi Stamp from Unity that I had downloaded for another challenge.  I was so overwhelmed by all of the awesome projects that people had entered for that Challenge that I decided not to enter that one.  I wanted a pop of color on this so I cut out the flowers from the Digi and popped them up with a couple of pop dots.
 
 
I used the dauber with Stampin Up! ink on the white card stock that I used to stamp the sentiment as well. Here is a little closer shot of the flowers.. 
 
Perhaps I should have added an extra "e" to be on the sentiment.  :)    Thanks for stopping by!  I'm sure I'll get a little better at this eventually. 
 
I have entered this card into the following Challenges:
 
The Crafting Cafe's Summer's Here Challenge
 Daring Cardmaker's Creature Comforts Challenge
Great Impression's Anything Goes Challenge
Crafty Boot's Animal Challenge
 
 Sending love & hugs!!!   Tina

  10. I love your card! I'm totally crazy for hexagons and the bees make an obvious combo for them - I'm so gonna steal this idea... I also like the sentiment.
