Bee-utiful Spring Card

It's time for a Sketch Saturday Challenge again!! Sketch #508 was super simple for me, and I love the way it turned out, using this adorable image from Kitty Bee Designs.

As you can see, my final design matches almost exactly with the sketch! I only moved the flowers a teensy bit for better aesthetics on my card.
 








I colored the image with Copic markers:
Face: Y17, Y15, & Y21
Yellow stripes: Y17 & y15
Black cap and Stripes: C7, C5 & C3
Wings: N1 & N0 (Plus some Wink of Stella)

Flower Center: YR23, YR27& YR 21
Petals: No & blender

Outline/Shadow: B000


The base mat is a charcoal grey generic card stock from Hobby Lobby--and is the same one I used for the scallopped circle. The black stripe in the middle is from a scrap of black card stock, probably also from Hobby Lobby! The Yellow hexagon piece is a Recollections, and actually was a only 3 3/4 inches rather than the 4 that I needed, so I cut it down the middle and was able to cover that with the black strip--Viola!!
The flowers are all just from my stash--probably from Hobby Lobby or Michaels.


The base was, as usual, printed on my HP with the simple sentiment You are BEE-Utiful, to help send some bright, happy cheer with this bright happy bee!

 I'm so happy that you choose to visit today! Please head over to the Sketch Saturday design blog to see the inspiration from the other lovely DT members, and enter to win a digi from our lovely Sponsor Kitty Bee Designs!
