I LOVE this little bee from Flourishes Peony set. So last Friday when the Limited Supply Challenge (LSC) on Splitcoaststampers was to make a card using brads as the only embellishment and to incorporate those brads into the image(s), I immediately thought of this sweet little guy.
Well someone didn’t read the instructions quite carefully enough. See those brads in the corners. Yup the ones that are NOT part of any image. Not allowed for this LSC. D’oh. Oh and I added some sparkle to the bees’ wings with my Stardust Clear Pen. I love my Stardust pen. It is so easy to apply and dries so quickly unlike other glitter products I have tried. But no matter. Glitter was not allowed for this LSC. D’oh. So needless to say I didn’t upload this for the LSC.
And since this card wasn’t going to be for the challenge, I added some ribbon (which had been painful to leave off in the first place. lol) I used Flourishes Harlequin and Accessories set for the background and that cute little flower. The sentiment is from Flourishes Sweet Treats set.
Next time I must learn to read the instructions/restrictions more carefully!

Fabulous layout Susan! Love the brads you added to the bees…so pretty!
Who cares if you didn’t follow the rules… the card is just lovely!! 🙂 Can you tell I don’t follow rules much!?!? LOL! Hope all is well with you!!
Susan — this bee is wonderful (I love it, too!) and your entire card with the Harlequin stamp set is fabulous!!! That is such a versatile set — I go to it often!!! Great card — thanks so much!!!
I love this card! Even with the extra brads! LOL
Well, it’s a bee-utiful card anyway…even if it didn’t meet the requirements of the challenge. 😉 (Don’t you just hate when you’re supposed to have read the directions first?! lol I sure do.) I love the harlequin background on there, and your little bees are so cute.
Too funny on your shooting so well to ‘impress’ the captain of the ship! I’d say maybe he was trying to impress you…. 😉
Haha, well the card turned out great, so its ok! I love the brads on the bees, what a neat idea!
