what’s the buzzzzz?

Published by diane (cookiestamper) at 1:30 pm under CC Designs, cards, etc.

whats-the-buzz-diane-zechman.jpgWell, I did it again.  I used one of my least favorite colors, YoYo Yellow!  eeek.  That’s twice in a week!  And I hate to say it, but I actually liked this one too.  LOL.   I wanted to use the cute little bees from the Bear Hugs set and they were just screaming “black & yellow”.  The bright, bold combination makes it a fun card to create!  I started by stamping the bees and layering their heads with dimensionals.  This is such a simple technique yet it always gives the card some “wow”.  The bees’ wings were glittered with Stickles.  And the yellow layer was machine stitched, varying a straight stitch and a zigzag for some whimsy.  I hope you like it!  Check out the ATS blog for some more review previews and more blog candy!

Do you have fun plans for the weekend?  I’ll be getting a new dishwasher- yay!

    This is SO cute! Yellow really isn’t my colour, but for the bees it is perfect! Tomorrow I’ll meet 10 of my stampingfriends to be creative together. I think this will be fun :)

    Cute Bees!
    It’s fun to go outside the comfort zone once in awhile.

    hahahahha
    I completely understand your feelings about YoYo. … Mine stays safely tucked inside its folder 99.9% of the time. But these adorable bees are perfect for it! OMGosh, how cute!!

    How fun! I hate yellow, too. :D Not all yellows but YoYo yellow for SURE is a color I won’t use much of…like Orchid Opulence. Bleh. LOL

    Love those “beezzz” with their popped out heads! I also always just love your doodling around the edges of the cards!
