Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut

Hi Everyone!!  I am so EXCITED to be the guest designer over at Fantabulous Cricut for the Challenge Me Monday challenge.  The challenge this week is Don't bug me.  Use a bug of some sort.  I created a card for a friend who LOVES bees.  Here is the card I created.


I am so sad that I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the card before I sent it out.  The inside says:

Hope your birthday is as sweet as honey!


I used Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge for the bee catcher and outfit.  I used tulle for the netting on her hat.  I LOVED how it turned out.  I also used my black pen for outlining the little grooves in the outfit and hat.
 The catchers net was cut using Everyday Paper Dolls.  I know bees are not caught with a net but it was the only thing I would think of.  The grass is cut from Martha Stewart All Occasion Cake cartridge.  I cut it 2 times from 2 different colors of green.
The little bees were cut from the Walk in my Garden Cricut cartridge.
 The clouds were also cut from Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge.  I inked them with outdoor blue from Close to my Heart.  And the Happy Birthday sentiment is also from Close to my Heart.
I am soooo happy with how this card turned out.

Cardstock from my stash
Close to my heart ink pad outdoor blue
Memento Tuxedo black ink pad
Close to my heart Happy Birthday stamp set
Tulle
Black pen
Cricut Cartridges:
