Every Little Thing is Gonna Bee Alright Card by Samantha Mann, World Bee Day, Create a Smile Stamps, Embossing Paste, Stencil, Watercolor, Bees, Cards, Handmade Cards, #bee #worldbeeday #cards #createasmile #watercolor

I used the cutest little bee stamp set ever: Best Bugs from Create a Smile Stamps

I seriously love the bee images on this set!! they're chubby and adorable! 
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut them out!
the paintbrush is from the First Day of School! look how cute that bee is holding the brush!! ha!! 


Every Little Thing is Gonna Bee Alright Card by Samantha Mann, World Bee Day, Create a Smile Stamps, Embossing Paste, Stencil, Watercolor, Bees, Cards, Handmade Cards, #bee #worldbeeday #cards #createasmile #watercolor

I did actually watercolor the background with my Altenew watercolors! then, once it was dry, I used some white embossing paste and an older Vicki Boutin honeycomb stencil!


the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock. I used a phrase from the Don't Worry, and I altered the 'bee' word with letters from the Tiny Letterings stamp set!


thank you SO much for hanging with me on World Bee Day!
next up on the hop is the super talented Sue Hadtead

below is the whole list of hop participants!
