Happy Mail Acetate Embellishments - Bees

The inspiration for my card comes from a gorgeous blue poppy flower I saw at a garden estate greenhouse a few weeks ago. The flower was so stunning and I couldn’t get it off my mind.

My bees were colored with both stickles and alcohol markers. I applied them with a new clear dimensional tape I saw at CVS, from Gorilla glue! I was concerned that it would bond to the stickles and then the bee would detach, but April said that it came through the mail fine, so maybe this will be a good new adhesive to have around! At the stamp show, I know they were selling a different clear dimensional tape, too.

Supplies: Our Daily Bread Designs Crocheted Poppy and die, Pennant Banner set, Butterfly and bugs stamp set, watercolor paper, Tombow Water Based markers, stickles glitter glue, other items from my stash.

A photo of the poppy and a close up of the card is at my blog: https://mylittlestampingblog.blogspot.com/2019/03/blue-poppy-card-with-hand-stamped.html

What a lovely card! You did a fabulous job with your layout! I too remember blue poppies and how the color stayed with me too!

Another wonderful Heidi layout! What a nice combo of background and focal piece. Your coloring of the poppies is beautiful. (I haven't seen blue either!) . The bees are such sweet embellishments.
