Bee-autiful Birthday

 Hello Friends!

I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start!
I'm happy to say I have already done some outside work this morning until it started to sprinkle then decided to take a break for awhile and hopefully go back out to do more a little later in the morning.

Anyways, I decided to other day to create a (think it's called) double Z fold card and use the happy BEE stamp/papers that were laying out on my table from a previous card commitment.  What do you think?

The focus image flowers & bee are from a Hero Arts Kit stamp set that I bought several years ago and just love!  I'm not typically one who buys 'kits' but luckily when I saw that one & it caught my eye, I quickly made the purchase . . . it didn't take long to sell out, never to come back again.
 

I've used Tombow markers for my coloring and the paper is from the Eco Park Paper Co. called 'Bee Happy'.  I need to see if they still handle this 6 x 6 pad as I'm nearly out!  

Such an easy card fold, I should make more of this style ... I think the folks at my craft show would like it!  For them, it would be 'something different!' 

 Challenges to share in:

Colorful Options April Challenge - Celebrating Yellow (ends 4/28)


Creative Creases April Challenge - ATG w/fun fold (ends 4/30)

Girlz Rebel Challenge #51 - Flowers (ends 5/8)


Well, that's my share for today!

Hopefully the rains will pass by and I can return to my spring clean up outside.  Lord knows I have a lot of it staring me in the face!  LOL

Happy Day All and thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! 

 As always . . .
