Bee Kind/How to Save a "Mistake"!

 Hello friends!

I am popping in with a BEE Kind card. This set of stamps and dies were so popular that they were sold out as soon as they were leased.


 Be Kind is now back in stock, so be on the look out if you are interested. My plan for this card was to have the bee positioned right in the center.

I did some masking and dry-embossing. There is a letterpress effect around the bee if you look closely.

 I also love the idea of having flowers as part of the background, so I took out Enchanted Roses and stamped part of the image on the side. This Enchanted Rose stamp set is huge!

 For the final touches , I thought to add more splatter. I was quite pleased how this card was turning out.... SPLAT! A huge drop of yellow splatter landed right in the middle!  It clearly looked like a "mistake"!

 So, I stamped another die cut bee and added to the design. It's ALL good. 😅

Great card. The second bee was a great addition even if it was needed to fix an extra bit of splatter.

Great card as always Virginia. I'm waiting for my little Bee to arrive. Such a nice card in a time when the Bee needs our support.
