I made this card for last week's Teapot Tickle Challenge. Jen is our guest hostess and she has a wonderful theme for us of, "Buzzing Into A New Year."
I am severely lacking in bee stamps so that has to change. I have this super tiny bee stamp and die set that was a free bee from HoneyBee stamps. That is all I have. The flower stamp is so old and I am ashamed to say I do not believe it has ever been inked up, but it matched the whisical feeling of the bees so I had to use it. The flowers and bees are colored with copic markers. Thank you for the great challenge Jen and thank you for looking today. ~Karen.

This is so sweet and fresh Karen. Your little garden is the perfect size for your cute little bees. I love how the scene is on a rectangle with the sentiment banner underneath - great design. The bright and happy dp looks wonderful too.

and your card came out so very cute and fun. The flowers are just the right touch for your bees and they look as if they can not decide which flower to choose to land on---background goes great with your card
