The challenge: feature gladiolus which represent strength of character, faithfulness, integrity and remembrance or another entity depicting one of these traits. Bees also signify Faithfulness. Extra cookies for an embossed panel and spot of red.
I embossed a panel with the Darice honeycomb folder then sponged it with DOX amber and framed with black. Stamped the pear blossoms and added a bit of color to the centers. Stamped the bees on white - added a bit of yellow then fussy cut.
I found a scrap of black and hand wrote my sentiment with a gold gel pen - also doodled some honey bee "trails". Finished with a red punched heart to signify our grateful heart that bees faithfully continue the job of pollination.

Sweet..I like the idea of using bees and the ever faithful phrase. I was watching some bees yesterday right next to the chair I was sitting in and they were going back and forth to the tiny blooms in a pot nearby...fascinating! Lovely card Linda.

How cool that you used an embossed honeycomb panel for the bees, who are busy gathering more pollen and nectar from those pretty pear blossoms. Great work on handwriting that sentiment as well!
