Your Special Day

Sometimes when I look at a sketch for a challenge, I draw a blank. Other times, I know precisely what I'm going to do. I was at a loss as to what I wanted to do for the sketch below until I viewed Kathleen's video HERE. It was instant inspiration when I saw her card. She granted permission for me to CASE her card and this is my version.

Easy to assemble, the black cardstock was adhered to the white panel. A scrap of honey cardstock was sponged with mustard ink and die cut to symbolize a honeycomb. (Aren't hexagons fabulous?) The sentiment was stamped. The bees were stamped, fussy cut (I forgot I have the die set) and adhered with Dimensionals. A touch of honey ink from a marker was added to the bees and they were coated in clear Wink of Stella to give them a soft glimmer.

The inside of the card was lined with white cardstock. The lower right hand corner was stamped and trimmed to give it shape. The sentiment was die cut from black cardstock.
