My card is for the Free4All spotlight challenge last week and for Speedy's Friends challenge #3. I am using stamps from Marks' Finest Papers called Blackberries, Sunflowers, and Bees.
I did not layer my nestie so it is rather hard to spot, except, of course, for the coloring. I stamped, cut out, and stickled my bee, then popped on dimensionals. Speedy's Friends challenge found here: http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.co...allenge-3.html
