CAS59: Bee Free


Hello there! How was your Monday? Mine was a bit disorganized; I thought I worked at 7 a.m. so I was up and ready a few minutes after 6, only to check my date book and see that I didn't work until 9 a.m.! Today was the kids first day back after Spring Break, so I had everything layed out for them to make it easier on DH. Turns out I was able to get them ready myself. I still had extra time and thought I should use it wisely, so I started my card for today's CAS Challenge over at SCS.
The theme today was New York; I wasn't going to play, but then I remembered this cute little bee stamp. I tried to color her crown like the aged patina of the original Statue of Liberty; I went strictly patriotic with the rest. I added some M.S. Crystal Fine Glitter to the wings; they have a subtle shimmer. I went all out with the fire cracker and used my Art glitter; it really packs a punch!

Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, SU! Real Red and Brilliant Blue
Embellies: Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter in "Polar Bear", Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter, Spare Parts Brads

Perfectly patriotic and cute to boot! The red and blue really pop on the crisp white background and I love that sentiment!!
