Bee My Honey–Flourishes July Sneak, Day One

Today is the first sneak for Flourishes July release! Are you excited!? I just know you're going to love them all, just like we do! 



How SWEET are these??? Literally! I'm using both sets on my card today. First, the bottom part of my card base was done using the Honeycomb background stamp. It makes a beautiful background, don't you think?

beemyhoneywtmk_2011jul22

I stamped the honey pot image from Bee My Honey on Classic White card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with Copic markers. Then I cut it out with a Classic Oval Nestabilities die and my Grand Calibur and matted with a larger one. I cut the sentiment flag out with the flag from Nested Pennant dies and stamped the sentiment. Finally, I stamped a litte single bee, colored him, cut him out, and popped him up on the sentiment. I used a little glitter pen on his wings for some shimmer. 

Be sure to check out the inspiration provided by the rest of the Flourishes Senior Design Team and...one of us is today's
