Happy 4th of July to all of my American friends! This is a combo of a couple of different Stampendous stamps. (BTW, did you notice that I was the guest stamper on the Stampendous Impressions blog a couple of days back?? Hehe)
The bees are a cling stamp called Bee Trio. I decked them out in patriotic colors then added a sign to ones hand with a piece from "Freedom Cupcakes" a cling set. Its popped up with a couple of dimensionals. The background on the red layer is stamped with a background stamp from the same "Freedom Cupcakes" set in StazOn white, but it wasn't dark enough for me so I went over the image with my Signo uni-ball white pen.
The flower is also dotted with the same pen to add a bit of somun' somun' to it too. The bees wings are covered with white ultrafine pearl glitter (also by Stampendous) and the antenae are dotted with Christmas red stickles (I need some red glitter I guess)
Here's a closeup of the flower, the wings, and the enhanced background stamping. Supplies are listed below. Layout for the card is this weeks sketch over at Our Creative Corner.
