Hiya sweeties!
I hope the week is treating you well so far. :)
I'm so slammed with work and "to-do" stuff right now that I'm kinda posting on the fly this morning... hope you don't mind.
I made this card with the Flutter By photo inspiration in mind but didn't quite get it done in time for the actual challenge... I'm blaming it on my pre-haircut mojo malaise. ;)
But no matter, I'm still sharing it because I like how it turned out. I was totally inspired by the sunflowers in the pic and came across my extra large Heidi Swapp flowers. Hmmm... I thought it was pretty big but it could make for a cute background, that led to creating another circle card and from there I just had to choose a cutie to complete the scene. This Gorjuss Bumble Bee gal was absolutely buzzing to finally get on a card and I wasn't going to argue! Seriously, she's completely adorable and I can't believe it took me this long to ink her up! :)
And can you believe that nowhere in my stamps did I have a sentiment that said "Bee Happy"? Me either! But I managed to piece this together using part of one sentiment and some small alphas. I felt pretty resourceful after that. ;)
Well, I guess I should wrap this up now.
