I stamped a piece of blue and yellow using the IO Paisley Crystal stamp and tone on tone colours. Stamped the bee and border on white card, coloured them, added Stickles to the bee's wings and trimmed them down. Sponged all the edges with vintage photo and popped them up on foam tape on a green base. Added the sentiment as a finishing touch, and some white Posca Pen detailing on the colour blocks.

Sabrina, these colors have never looked so good together! Beautiful card....using the white pen is so pretty and so are the stickles! Love the touch of sponging~

You took the color blocking and designed the most appealing card. The colors added details with the white, the images and the touch of the sponging all make this a standout in the gallery. Fav'd

That paisley stamp is so cool...looks great on those colors. I love the contrast between the white/off white stamped blocks and the yellow and blue...fab design!

Wonderful card, Sabrina. It has the look of a curio box with the bees and flowers and pretty DPs that are awaiting a special element to be added. The green outlines of your careful placement of the squares and rectangles make what seem to be dividers. The gentle shading on the edges is so evenly done.

This card really makes me smile. Love the clever layout (it looks so complicated, then I realized each row is one long and two short blocks).
The bandana-style print looks light and breezy, and who can resist bees saying "bee happy"?
