My Grandson asked if I could make a card with his Bee stamp and this is what I ended up with. The card base is Basic Black, then on a layer of So Saffron CS I did some all over stamping with his Bee stamp using stamped-off once Archival Black ink. I cut the big bee out of Basic Black CS with a Bee thinlit, glued it to a piece of So Saffron CS and fussy cut around it. The sentiment from Express Yourself was stamped in Archival Black ink on So Saffron CS and punched out with the Large Oval punch and mounted on a Basic Black Scallop Oval. I stamped his bee stamp four more times on So Saffron CS and fussy cut just the bees. I used one on the sentiment and scattered the other three strategically around the large bee. I used dimensionals under the sentiment and all the bees. I fussy cut a 'honey pot' shape out of Basic Black CS, a dribble of 'honey' and a capital H out of So Saffron CS and glued it down. Some Basic Rhinestones finished it off nicely. My Grandson was delighted with the finished product and assured me that it would 'totally fit' the challenge. The decision wasn't unanimous, lol.

Wow! You were a "busy bee" with the fussy cutting, Eunice! Your grandson has such confidence that your card fit the fresh criteria, so we can't let him down, can we! I'm sure that honey is freshly made by the bees! I love that big bee die cut, by the way! So cute! Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
