Bee Uniquely U

I am a sucker for a pun.  Even as a young reader I remember checking out pun books from the library over and over again.  And then, of course, repeating them to my mom to hear her groan.  LOL!

Soooooo... in keeping with the "Don't Worry...BEE Happy!" card, I decided to make one of the U-niquely U sentiments into a pun.

The layout for this card uses the Mojo Monday #70 sketch. 

The three flowers were punched from a scrap piece of cardstock and sponged with VersaColor pigment ink onto the very vanilla cardstock.

Materials:

• Stamps: small bee set and U-niquely U sentiment set from Starving Artistamps.
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Versa Color-Green Tea, Cardinal Red, Topaz;
• Paper: very vanilla, riding hood red and baja breeze (SU!), gold (Bazzill); dp from Daisy Bucket Designs and Anna Griffin;
• Accessories: flower punch, black pen, Nestabilities;

Can you tell I am in the mood for spring????  That is the beauty of stamping--it can be any season I want it to be in my studio!

 

Don't Worry!!

Well, here in Michigan, we have been having subzero temperatures for a few days, now.  So all I can think about is SPRING!! 

I was in search of spring inspiration when I came upon  the Inspiration Challenge #163 over at SplitCoast.
The source of our inspiration was to be Pottery Barn Teen. My dd LOVES Pottery Barn Teen!!! She loved browsing with me.  (her wish list is LOOONG, poor kid, because her parents are not re-doing her room)

I drew inspiration from all of the dots (they were EVERYWHERE), these sheets and all the beadboard!!!!

It is difficult to see in the photo, but the card base is an embossed striped notecard.  The DP is from Daisy Bucket.

The stamps are the Bee Happy Set, and the   Medium Bees set.
Sunny and warm colors and images--for another subzero day.
