Bee Happy



I have to say that I really am loving doing sketch challenges. I stopped doing them for a while (who knows why) and now I cannot get enough of them. There's nothing like a good sketch! I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches for this card. I really love the way it came out but I do not like the picture. I really need to make a light box and get some photography tips.


Here are the details...
Paper: Recollections, Basic Grey, S.U.
Cricut: Create A Critter-bee-cut at 1 3/4, beehive-cut at 1 1/2
Accent Essentials-Accnt4s-cut at 2, 2 1/4
Ink: S.U. Soft Suede
Others: 3D Dots, Safmat Adhesive

Here are the challenges...
Easy Craft Projects #43 "Summer"
If The SHoe Fits #87 "Summer"
Allsorts #114 "Free and Easy"
Sweet Stop Sketches #119
Crafty Pad #132 "Something Clear" (I used Safmat for the Bee Happy)
Critter Challenge #76 "Summer"
Getting Cricky "Positive Things To Come"

Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!
