Floral Bee - Stampin' Up!® Bee My Valentine

   I'm busy designing for an upcoming class but I squeezed in some extra stamping yesterday to play along with the Time Out Challenge which has us using our 'favorite winged thing' on our projects.  I decided to pair up a carryover stamp set with brand new Designer Series Paper.  The Bee My Valentine stamp set gets heavy use in February but doesn't see much ink this time of year but it looks cute with the new Floral Impressions DSP.

 I pulled my colors straight from the DSP using Garden Green, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  The card base is Garden Green, then a layer of Darling Duckling then the DSP cut on a diagonal to show off a floral as well as a small octagon print.

  The bee is stamped in Darling Duckling and Memento Black and is popped on dimensionals.  I stamped a few flowers in various degrees of stamped off Timid Tiger ink for a light look to match the orange flowers in the DSP.  You can find the flower image and matching dies in the Impressions Abloom bundle which is an Online Exclusive.

  The small but sweet sentiment is in a new set called The Right Words and is also an Online Exclusive.  I stamped it in Memento Black then fussy cut it and popped it on dimensionals under the bee.  Finally I added a few Earth Tones Shimmer Gems which as of this posting are in the Last Chance category on discount.  they add just a bit of sparkle!

Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
