Needed to make a Valentine for my nephew. I was inspired by this card that I had saved to a Pinterest board. I believe the card is from bluefogstudios, but could not confirm.
Cut my focal panel from PTI Stamper's Select cardstock using the MFT In and Out Stitched rectangle dienamics. Cut a 2nd rectangle from a lighter cardstock scrap to use for layering. Took a scrap of cardstock and die cut a cloud-like shape from a treat toppers die cut set from TCP. Used the cut shape and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to sponge some sky and clouds. Adhered panel to Bazzill cardstock panel cut slightly smaller than A2 size. Layered to top folding card base.
Die cut the Paper Smooches LOVE die from black Bazzill cardstock and again from a scrap of polka dot DSP left over from my envelope cards.
Stamped the Paper Smooches bee 3 times, colored and die cut. Used a Copic multi-liner to enhance the bees' eyes. Used Wink of Stella on the wings - IRL you can really see the shimmer. Die cut 3 more "blanks" of the bee to use to pop them up a bit more.
Used glossy accents to adhere the LOVE and the bees.
Inside sentiment: Bee Mine
TFL!

This is so darned cute, Debbie! It's neat, clean and so visually appealing, particularly the red in your "love" against the color of your card. Beautifully done!

Ha! This is so sweet, Debbie! Love the little bees buzzing against the pretty clouds and sky! And I love the paper-pieced "love" outlined in black - a very cool look!
I made a card for my color challenge this week that I know you will get a kick out - it's definitely your kind of card - the kind you always do so beautifully!
