Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lover Challenge to use piercing on a card and today's CAS Challenge: inspired by Alanna.
I have had the Big Bee from Blackberries, Sunflower and Bees sitting on my stamping table since the day it arrived from the manufacturer. It means a lot to me, as it marks the first stamp set we released under our label. And, It was inspired by my friends the Stampin' B's! So, I decided that I was going to use this stamp for today's challenge. That and the fact that I was stung this afternoon, after my nephew's Eagle Ceremony, (Yes, I CRIED!) in my garden. I had ONE Eppy pen left, so I didn't have to be rushed to the ER. Thank goodness.
I stamped the Bee 3 times across the panel. Next, I used pink and yellow Mementop Markers on the bee. Next, I added on ultra fine glitter to the wings and stamped the sentiment.
I used a Spellbinders Pierceabilities die as a guide to piere the design along the bottom.
Finished size: 4 3/4" x 4 1/4"
Total Time to complete: 42 minutes. (I couldn't find my piercer and had to hunt down a push pin! Hey, they work!)

Faith, so glad you had immediate help for the bee sting, I once sat on a nest in a lawn chair. Didn't take me long to get up either, LOL. I love that pierced design on the bottom. May have to check that one out.
