Hi peeps! Happy May Day! And happy Sunday, which means a new Paper Players challenge! Jaydee is our hostess today and she has a theme that is near and dear to both of our hearts:
Oh dear, which should I choose? I love both my birds and my bees, but the bees won out this week! I pulled out a couple of stamps I've had for a long while to make my "bee better soon" card:
Since I used the FMS sketch:
I began looking for some appropriate papers; once I found them, I diecut them with a Reverse Confetti stitched strip die. I also stamped a grungy honeycomb background from MFT along the right side in Sahara Sand:
I stamped a couple of bumblebees and a sentiment from two sets by Darcie's Heart & Home, coloring and fussy-cutting the bees, and stamping the sentiment on a tag and embellishing it with some Bumblebee ribbon:
This will be going to a gentleman at church who fell and is recuperating at a rehab center!
So, which will you choose? Birds, bees or both?! I hope you'll check out what the DT created at the Paper Players blog, then share your creations with us as well! Can't wait to see them! Thanks for visiting today!
I don't have any current bee photographs, but this one is from a couple of summers ago....I am looking forward to warmer temps and pretty sunflowers embellished by bees!!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
