Julee Tilman’s layout
I made this card for the Bee challenge I was supposed to have with Sharon and Lori this week. Sharon still hasn’t gotten her bees, so we postponed the challenge to next week. I can’t wait that long. LOL
I will make another card for next weeks challenge. I love playing with the bees.
Julee posted a great sketch a while ago that I just had to try out.
I varied from her sketch only that I made it into a special fold. You take this lovely May Arts ribbon off, pull on the left side and it opens up to a card 4 1/4″ x 11″.
I used Prima Cardstock, Scenic Route and Daisy D’s patterned paper.
I stamped the Stampendous Pal Topper on shimmery white cardstock, cut it out and layered it on Ruby red cardstock I had sponged with chocolate chip first.
I stamped sweet friend all around the yellow paper with Karen Foster Snap stamps. Then I added don’t worry on the top right with the bigger version of those stamps.
The flowers the bees are holding is a Prima flower. The flowers on the bottom left are punch outs from the Spring Flower punch. I punched them out in Ruby Red and sponged the petals with chocolate chip. The center is a mustard brad. I love Stampin’ Up! colored brads.
On the main image are usually black dots. I covered those up with Amuse Twinkle Stickers. To finish it off I highlighted the darker colored parts of the bees with the Stardust glitter pen.

HeHe. Love the “Don’t worry” you added to the “Bee Happpy” sentiment. Great idea to use Julee’s sketch with this card opening, too.
