Bee Crazy

I just can't resist those Stampendous bees. As soon as I saw them, I had to have one! I mean, really, how sweet is this little baby?

I've mentioned my fascination with Scenic Route paper, but this new Valentine collection, Loveland is just yummy. I love it. I love any excuse to use it. I've got to go over to Right at Home (Hi Fatima!) to pick up some more of the Berrylicious Bazill paper that I use with it, because I've just used my very last scrap. Lucky for me, I have a lot more Loveland paper!!

The image and sentiment were stamped with Stazon then colored with my SU Markers (Regal Rose and Rose Red and Blush Blossom for the face) Then I coated with the wings heavily with my new Spica clear pen. The wings, though you can't see it here, are pretty sparkly in real life.

I created the "double bubble scalloping" by using my slit punch. I created a single row of scallops by punching side by side all the way across one edge, then turning it over and lining it up to be sure the "humps" would match top and bottom and scalloping all the way across that side as well. It actually was super easy!

Once I had the card all assembled, that white mat was bugging me. Too much empty space. So, I held my breath and doodled all around the edge. Phew, I didn't mess it up!

Have a great day everyone!
