I got a bee in my bonnet

to make my granddaughter's birthday card! I bought the Simon Says Stamp kit of the month for the first time and I love it. This card was inspired by several cards that were shown in the introduction of the kit. Cathy Z. and Susan Opel. I stamped the bee and sentiment on a yellow circle die cut and added it to a black panel cut with a Mama Elephant scalloped die and added to a card base. I added two dots for eyes. I added Nuvo silver glitter to the wings and gold Nuvo glitter to the crown. Very simple, but what girl doesn't like sparkle.

When I look back, I can't believe Tiger King was the most normal part of 2020.






Be kind to one another.

So cute - and pretty too - and I DO love all that sparkle!! FUN card and I know she's going to love it. I used to get the SSS kits and quit - need to check them out again because they're always so good! Love your card Brenda.

What a cute bee and it has a crown, too! I love the circle inside the black scalloped mat and, of course, the schparkle is a delight that Olivia will love! Hugs, Darnell (Good point about Tiger King ... what a year!)

Brenda I think your grand will bee-lighted (doesn't that sound like a word Darnell would use??) with this card and she should be the queen for the day! I hope all is well and you are enjoying a fun labor day! We are laying low today, well, hubby is going to golf with a high school friend and I have a house guest from Norway for one more week. Today might be our day of rest though, we have a busy scheduled week ahead! Heart Hugs, Col

I love this card Brenda! The black and yellow color combo is always striking to me. Love the scallop mat but it is the bee and the sentiment that I really love. Oh and the sparkle on the wings and crown-love the sparkle! Ha, ain't that the truth about Tiger King and 2020! Thanks for the laugh! Hugs, Brenda
