Challenge #285 - Garden in Bloom, Simple Shapes, Darling Dots, Stampin Up

I am chuffed to use one of my favorite stamp sets.  and also to use that word.  I hope I used it correctly.  I am so loving George Ezra's Music, and his words.  I mean he had me at shenanigans.  Nobody uses that word nearly enough and so when I saw one of his posts with it, I was very pleased (chuffed) haha. Well enough with that, and onto the card for today.  I will submit it to the challenge at:                    CAS Colours and Sketches         

The stamp sets featured in today's card are:  Stampin Up~ Garden in Bloom 2018

Stampin Up~Simple Shapes 2003 

Stamping Up~ Darling Dots (not sure the year)

The sentiment on the inside is from the dollar bins at Michael's Craft Store.

Here I thought I was "bee-ing" all creative choosing the bees, and then when I looked at the lovely designers cards, I realized it was already done.  I kind of laughed at myself thinking oh PJ, you are not so clever.   Well folks here is my take on it.  I also want to point out that I masked the bees in the circle then stamped, and instead of watercoloring up to the little bumbles, I chose to leave the white around it, I just thought it gave some added interest to the card.  I sure do love those sparkle enamel dots.  They are wonderful.

I'm also sharing a picture of the squirrel on my deck today.  My goodness his tail is long.  Perhaps because I usually see it curled up on their backs, but today he was rather relaxed enjoying his black walnut.  

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
