Just Buzz-ing By

This particular card was made WITHOUT any help from my Cricut Machine (GASP)!!  It was pretty difficult to come up with a card when all I wanted to do was go to my wonderful Cricut Cartridges.  This card is for a challenge that stated to go BACK TO BASICS, meaning no cricut usage!  It was a fun challenge to come up with something, and I really love this darling little card.


This card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and Here is what I did:

Cardstock: deep black, used some generic I had in my stash
Paper: All paper, yellow and bee paper, is from Frances Meyer
VersaMagic Chalk Ink:  Midnight Black
Ribbon: Sheer Organza ribbon by Offray 5/8 inch
Embellishments:  Daisies and bees from JoLee's Boutique, 2 gold eyelets 1/8" , Fiskers paper trimmer
Words: Original words done on the computer in Print Shop

That's it.  Once I got going it was pretty easy to put together.  The hardest part is always coming up with the idea and then picking out the paper!  Choosing the paper and embellishments are always my very favorite part of the process.  Enjoy and thanks for joining me today!

Oh my is this ever cute! Love the layers of papers. That pretty little sunflower, your stitching & of course that little bees. You really "tied" in all the elements nicely & topped it off like a little present with that fun bow. Nice job!

Fun and fabulous. Love the bow. Great paper combo. The little bees are adorable. Love how you have the sentiment inside that card. I am the one that came up with the challenge, and it was sooo hard I just kept saying oh let me use this cut to stamp the image on and then would have to stop myself. Totally can relate to you. You did awesome. Thanks for joining us at WW.
