My card today starts off with Wild Wasabi cardstock.
Do you find Stampin’ Up! colors have “seasons.” I rarely pick up Wild Wasabi in the fall or winter and I’ve used it multiple times in spring so far.
Back to my card…I then took a panel of Crushed Curry cardstock and dry embossed it using the Hexagons embossing folder. This picture doesn’t do it justice – the impression it makes is stunning!!! This folder is a MUST!
I matted the Crushed Curry on some Whisper White cardstock and tied around it a bow using Basic Black Solid Baker’s Twine. I then adhered it off center on the card.
I stamped the sentiment from the Better Together stamp set in Wild Wasabi ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the Bunch of Banners Framelits. Next I cut out a bumble bee using the Detailed Dragonfly and adhered it to the card. I took the Basic Black marker and drew dots away from the bumble bee as if he was buzzing around. And because he came from somewhere…
I continued the dots on the inside.
Enjoy!
My card was inspired by the challenge this week at Stamp Ink Paper.

So sweet Jaimie! Love your little bee and his busy trail. Great colors, perfect for spring! 🙂
Very cute little busy bee on his honeycomb! And love the “bee trails” on the inside! 🙂
Super background created with that folder, and the buzzing bee is too cute!
You had me at the BEE! But you are right, that background embossing is amazing….but the little dotted lines just make me SMILE! Thanks for using our SIP sketch this week!
Oh I love your card Jaimie!! That hexagon background is so striking! And the bee trail was a perfect accent! Thank you so much for joining us this week at Stamp Ink Paper:)
A very pretty card, this new hexagon die makes such a beautiful 3 D background.
