Bee-u-tiful


This pretty paper is from a K&Company paper pad that I have had for a couple of years.
This is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch card.  I cut each square at 1.25 inches.  Then put them back together on the card.  The bee is from the Art Nouveau cartridge page 56 and cut at 2 inches.  Then coated in Stampin' Up Crystal Effects.  I added two dark brown pearls for the eyes.  The leaf for the flower is from page 31 Layer 1 feature cut at 4 inches. The rose is a Recollections embellishment.  A little piece of ribbon tied into a bow.  The "Bee-u-tiful" stamp is a My Pink Stamper stamp from her Punny-licious collection and punched out with the Stampin' Up Modern Label Punch.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday #238
 &      Bitten by the Bug2
