On to my creation! I didn't really have a tough time picking my favorite set - I've just LOVED creating with the
Bee My Honey set. It's just tooooo sweet! I have to say, I was surfing through Iwona Palmountain's blog -- and I found an old Saturday Sketch of her's
here as a starting point!
Here are the quick details for my card! I stamped on
Flourishes Classic White using
Tuxedo Black Memento, colored with a range of
Copics from the Fields, Dahlia, Sunflower, Violet and Sweet Pea Collections grouped by Flourishes. My mat was created with a Spellbinders Classic Circle and Blossom Nestabilities dies, cut thanks to my Grand Calibur machine. Pair it all up with some fabulous Bo Bunny decorative paper (coming soon to a Flourishes 123 Create Kit!), add some fun and festive ribbon, a button and a fun-filled sentiment flag and.... viola!
I also added some glitz with the help of some glitter glue to some of my flowers and bees. Wanna see?
And that, my friends, is it! A bright and sunny card created to honor Flourishes special day!
Next up on the 4th Birthday Blog Hop…. the fabulous Karen Wallace!
