B Happy

Well, I did this card for the new sketch challenge at Polka Doodle, but as I was getting ready to post it there I had company arrive and missed the chance! Oh, well, it was still a fun challenge and now I have this card done that I can give someone. And a new challenge starts Friday so I'll just be a little more punctual! I practiced my sewing skills on this card--with contrasting thread this time. I was a bit nervous about that because mistakes will show up more easily, but I think I did ok. And if I didn't then, hey, it's only paper. Throw it away and start again, right? I used Storybook for the words, George for the flower, and Home Decor for the bees. The bees are a bit realistic for me--kinda creeps me out, but I didn't have any cutsey bees. I added a touch of glitter to the "skittles" in the corner by first dotting some yellow stickles to the paper, letting it dry, then sticking on the skittles with a glue dot. Love how the glitter shows through the plastic bead. The papers are all Fancy Pants Botanicals. I love the soft colors of these papers. Thanks for taking a peek!
