Balance

 Good morning!  We are off to spend the day at my daughter's house hanging out with the kids and some friends.  I always look forward to spending time with them!

I had so much fun making this card below, I really stepped outside my comfort zone with the colors and such, and I was so happy that I did. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

AllSorts #852 - Bees, Blooms, and/or Birds

Cut it Up #359 - Critters

Fab n' Funky #640 - Starts with a B (bee and balance)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

4-Season - Stamping Without Coloring

I happen to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (hobby) and I received a free paper pack recently of 12x12 designer paper called Irresistible Designs. It is a white paper with a shimmery pattern - the one I chose to use has flowers on it:

I cut the DP down to 6x4.5" and painted the whole thing with Lindy's Magicals in Toadstool Taupe from the Enchanted Forest Shimmer Magicals set. I then took a piece of watercolor paper, stamped the bee design stamp from Funky Fossil's Let it Bee set with Versafine Sparkle and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the Tag Trio die cut from Gina K Designs to cut it out, then sprinkled the Toadstool Taupe powder on it, spritzed with water, and let the magic happen. I fussy cut the sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) and attached the tag with an old Stampin' Up! metal flower brad. Peace.
