Bee Happy Sentimentals Card!

While making Friday's card using Sentimentals, I came across this bee and the word art, "bee happy" and thought it would make a fun card for today's simple card Monday.  In fact, the more I studied the Sentimentals cartridge, the more little gems I found on it!

Today's square card was cut at 5" using the Card feature and the "label1" on page 68 of the Sentimentals  cartridge handbook.  I cut the card three times using yellow, white and black cardstock.  Then, I trimmed down the white and black sections to make an additional scalloped border along the the yellow edge.

I cut the "bee happy" and the bee at 1-1/2", also from the Sentimentals cartridge.  I cut the black wing layer twice. I glued down one layer and then created the second black wing layer by gluing on the yellow swirl parts and then just glued down the center section so I could fluff up the wings.

White pen dots adds interest to the "bee happy"- try not to smudge it like I did (grrr!).  Scalloped white circle cut using Papertrey Ink dies run through the Cuttlebug.

Using a black pen, I created faux stitching along the scalloped edges and the card edges.  I also used some pen marks to make a trail from the bee.

The inside is finished off using a bit of paper.  I made the white section inside by cutting down the white card I used to create one of the scalloped border edges.  I adhered it flush with the bottom.  Paper is by Basic Grey (Urban Prairie line).  Ribbon from Michaels.
