Bee Good Bee Kind!

This is for three challenges! Anne (jdmommy) hosted a DDC challenge that I do with some of my SCS friends. We were to make an out of the box card! Charlene (LilLuvsStampinP hosted DDC challenge that we were to use the Mr Good Do Bee from an old TV series teaching good manners! The third challenge is for Cindy's (mothermark) Teapot challenge featuring a Bee! If you haven't checked out Cindy's teapot challenge on Tuesdays you are missing out on all the fun!

I didn't have a bee image so I Googled *cartoon bee coloring* and printed this cute image! It is colored using the Tiger Lily Copic Collection from Flourishes! These are awesome because they take all the guess work out of blending with copics! I then cut it out and popped it up! When I sat in on a demo. at the Stampaway USA Convention this weekend I picked up a tip on coloring the leaves of a plant! She told us to pick up a little of the color from the flower and add it to the leaves! The small panel was done using new toys by *Just for Fun* that I purchased from the convention! I used a template and a stipple brush to add color and then stamped floral image silhoulettes! The decorative border was done using a M/S punch! The background was cuttlebugged! The photo corner is a Paper Shaper punch! I also used Spelbinders die cut for the small panel!

Thanks for stopping by!
