I combined todays Inspiration Challenge with a color and tecnique challenge I wanted to do but missed.
My inspiration is found here, but I chose to do a more feminine version. http://designdazzle.com/pages/BoysRoomBug210.htm
The bee- first I inked the bee image with Versa Mark. Then I covered the wings with scraps of paper (it stuck to the versa mark like temporary glue) and inked the body in Pumpkin Pie and stamped it onto the Labels Four cut out.
The wings were stamped with StazOn onto Acetate, then cutout when ink was dry. I ran them through the Xyron and covered them in Flax Glitter. After the card was all put together I glued the wings on with Crystal Effects along the body touching edge. Scissors were left under each wing to support the lift while drying. Orange Stickles were dabbed in the centre of each tiny flower on the bee's body.

This is so precious with that bumble bee. It's great to see a bumblebee instead of a buterfly! Your dp is so sweet with those scalloped edges. Just a really really pretty card.
