I Bee-lieve In You . . .

 Happy Sunday Friends!

Today I was inspired by a couple of challenges offered over on Paper Playful so I've combined them and come up with this cute encouragement card.  Those challenges are:

Just Us Girls Challenge #579 - Trend Week

 I have used two stencils on my creation ... Memory Box 'Texture Honey Comb' (#88521)


and My Favorite Things 'Cloud Stencil' (#ST-099).
My Favorite Things CLOUD Mix-ables Stencil MFT ST99 Preview Image

and the new challenge over at Allsorts which is themed 'Butterflies/Birds/Bees' (one or all).  I chosen to use my favorite Hero Arts Bees from one of their earlier kits.  Love these little guys!  LOL

 

 I have used a Stampscapes stamp called 'Leafy Branch' (#277F) to add dimension to the scene.  My Hero Arts bees have been popped up using dimensional tape.

Other challenges to share in:

Daring Cardmakers - Let Hear it for the Bees
Festive Friday Challenge #FF0081 - Blue, Tree, Clouds

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.  It sure has been a BEAUTIFUL week here in Ohio this week!  Hubby & I got lots of stuff done outside each day and have a good start on our Spring Clean Up.  Felt so good to get out into the sunshine & fresh air!  

Please help us end this pandemic by getting your vaccine when eligible and
please, please wear a mask when out in public!

    LOVE this card. I am so partial to bees. I wanted that HA kit and it got sold out too fast. It's a really good one. Your design here is so wonderful, I can't stop looking at it.

    Ohhh, I sure do love this! Making a note to search the stencil as I believe I need a good honeycomb stencil. Such a beautiful summer card, Darlene!

    What a cute card. We need our bees here in the U.S.

    Thanks for the PSA about the vaccines and masks. We are not victorious yet. [Bunny]

    I always like cards with bees because of the sunny colors which remind me of summer.
    A great card!

    Gorgeous, I just love the way you have combined the two stencils, and like the addition of the stamped branch and the bees looks great popped up!
    So glad you had a good weekend and great weather to enjoy!
