Bee-Cause You're Special!

I'm still showing off stamps from DRS Designs latest release. I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of them.

Today's card is showing off the Bitsy Bee you see in the background. He really is itsy bitsy, measuring in at .75" x .75"--perfect for backgrounds & making your own pattern paper!

I used the large Bee as my main focal image. It was colored with markers and layered (and layered, LOL!) with cardstock cut with my Nesties.

This card is also accented with black grosgrain ribbon--the ribbon tags were adhered to the background panel with staples that I colored with a black Sharpee marker. The "Bee-cause You're Special!" sentiment was stamped in the lower right corner with black ink.

The latest release from DRS Designs is not my only inspiration for this card. At my house lately we seem to have a Bee problem. While I was out watering our new landscaping beds the other day I noticed about 50 bees flying around one of our berry trees. Every now and then I'd see one fly up toward the bricks of our garage. It seems they are building a nest or have a home in the spaces between the bricks on our garage! Grrr! From talking with the neighbor lady she said 3 years ago she had a bee problem & she had to have her house sprayed--they were coming through the gas fireplace vent on the back side of her house & then coming in the house through the fireplace. They would be sitting in their family room watching TV and then all of a sudden a bee would be flying around them. Yikes! I won't be letting my bee problem get as bad as that, but I just wish they would just Bee-gone! LOL!

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a Bee-utiful day! (Sorry, I just couldn't resist! LOL!)

Smiles,
Jennifer
