BEE-utiful day for a birthday!

Warm days last week got our flowers and trees a bloomin! I haven't seen bees, but with flowers blooming, it's just a matter of time.

Our friends in Charleston share a March birthday with me.  Harry just completed a course in "bee keeping", so I thought this theme would be appropriate for his special day.  I love the little honeycomb and bee charm I won on Ebay.

I was inspired by a sketch found on Pinterest and a cut file at the Silhouette Store.  I used a Peachy Keen face stamp, along with a honeycomb embossing folder for wings, EK punches and twine.

    Her embossed wings are just perfect! Just adorable and lovely charm. Bee keeping huh? That actually sounds interesting. And did YOU have a birthday this month?

    Hi Cely, loving the stitching, the embossing folder and the twine! The image is just soooooo cute! Perfect card for a guy who just finished a 'bee keeping' course. That is what is so great about making cards, you can always give one that fits the recipient!

    I haven't seen any bees yet, either, but I have seen robins! Love your card, and perfect for a new beekeeper. Maybe you'll get free honey!!
