I had a lovely evening, spent with my daughter watching The Secret Life of Bees. I really do love bees--I love their sound, their function, I love beehives, honey, but not when they begin to make their home in MY home....but that's another story. And although I liked the movie, I liked the book much better! Anyway, I thought it was quite funny that we watched this movie right after I had made THIS card:
This is a new stamp called The Bee List from Cornish Heritage Farms, designed by Julia Stainton, and I loved it from the minute I saw her sample, so I treated myself to it (and a few others). I couldn't wait to match it up with some lovely BG Porcelain paper. I gulped and added that big lovely satin bow and a few little sweet buttons from my stash, and honestly, this was one of the fastest cards I ever made!!! All the images were watercolored and the shading is from a sponge dauber.
And just a little braggin' on my DD and her pup Chase:
Did you ever see such ears? He is such a cutie!
Thanks for stopping by!
