Beehives and Buttons!

I must really be wishing for spring or something -- with this BEE kick I am on! Ha!
I ordered some really fun stamps from Hambo Stamps last week. They have a great sense of humor and some fun images! Check them out and be sure to say "Judy sent you!" I had the hive and sentiment waiting for the right idea to formulate, when the SCS Color Challenge this week was Yoyo Yellow, Going Gray and Basic Gray. I knew right away that I wanted to try my new Hambo stamps with it! My sister had given me a hive background stamp for Christmas, and I wanted to get that in there too~
I stamped the images in Black Stazon, and then colored them with SU! markers. I punched three scallops and then cut them in half for the left border, and layered two others under the sentiment circles at the top. I have oodles of Primas and really need to use them more -- I found just the colors I was looking for, and voila! A fun thinking of you card!

I love my watermarks - I have about 6 or 7, I think, because I like to use different ones depending on the style of the project. I had Mama Dini make several of them for me. If you need or want one, please check out her site, as she does great work and her prices are so reasonable (starting at $1!). My friend Juliana had a new button on her blog, so I went to check it out. Low and behold, Mama Dini made it! I am proud to display it here and in my sidebar as well. If you are a CSSC and would like to add this button to your blog or site, check it out HERE.
