Thanks - Color Dare #279

Loving these bright colors.  Going through some of my stash found a few stencils but never think of using them...so decided to use one on this challenge for my background with no other thought in mind.  As always I like to use a sketch for my creations and decided to go with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #250.  So this is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #279

The background was sponged with Canary Ink using a stencil and then added the heart and twine die cuts.  The sentiment and one of the bees were stamped and then cut with a coordinating die.  Cut a second bee die and used the backside to draw in the bee similar to the other so that I could replace the bow with some similarity of the sketch.  



Please stop by and view the DT's inspiration for this challenge and would love to see what bright and cheery projects you will create.  This Challenge will be open for (2) weeks...AND you still have time to enter in our #278 color challenge of Bashful, Kraft and Gold Click Here.    

At Atlantic Hearts Sketch #250 marks the 10th term for the Design Teams and to celebrate the Top 3 will be awarded with prizes. Some of the Design Team members will be drawing prizes randomly for those that enter their challenge this week.  So make sure you check out Wednesday's post and visit each of the Design Team Member to see who is giving away prizes.

On the inside of the card stamped some images along the border.

Cute, cute, cute! Your mirrored bees are a very clever substitution for that bow from the sketch. Thanks for explaining how you did it. Your adorable card really made me smile!

Love those adorable little bees... they sit so perfectly underneath the heart. The stencilling is awesome and I have to comment also from the AH perspective - the elements all work together with the sketch perfectly. Such a sweet spring-like card.

Great job of creating a "mirror" image bee so that you'd have symmetry. Super creative! Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge.
