My new dies...the bumble bees and the hive. I thought it would be a cute Father's Day card to make for my Dad. As I was creating it I made it so that the "dad" bumble bee was waiting for the "child" bumble bee to come into the hive. Now that my card is finished I started singing "The Birds and the Bees". I remember how my dad took me aside and told me all about "life". I really didn't even plan this scene to be that way. "Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees..." The only thing this scene lacks is the birds, lol.
The background is handstamped using a home made cardstock stencil. My idea was inspired by Kittie Caracciolo. It's SUPER EASY...and the results are impressive. You can view her tutorial by clicking on the link below: (will open another window)
