Busy bees

 Hello lovely crafters

I'm back with a card at last. 

I bought this new flower stamp at a show a few weeks ago so wanted to use it. I dithered for ages over which flower stamp to get. There were so many and all so pretty. Honey Doo Crafts.

I stamped, coloured, cut out and layered them up. I coloured using pens and hint of pencil on top. Then I added some die cut leaves, lovely bees and a few splats. Oh and some liquid pearls. 

I spent far too long looking for a particular Happy Birthday stamp (which I still haven't found), chose another one and promptly lost part of it (which I still haven't found!). 

Then I remembered my peg letter stamps so I used those, realising I can stamp any greeting I like. (As long as I don't lose them). 

Popping over to the Snippets Playground 

I used white snippets, for the flowers, some inky pieces for the leaves. The backing I found already die cut in my box of papers. 

Also the NBUS challenge as the flower stamp is new and was straight out of it's packet asap!

I've become obsessed with bees and rescuing these queen bumblebees when they become trapped or are on hard paving. They are emerging now from hibernation (here in the UK) to build a nest and lay eggs. So beautiful. This is a Buff Tail Bumblebee enjoying my early flowers. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
