A ‘Buzzzzzin’ Hi!
Even though our summer has been hot & dry here in Texas, I always try to spot the landscaped inserts of flowers, beckoning the butterflies with their color & sweet nectar. Truth is, several of my recent pics of Disney World include close-ups of the flowers! (I know … ‘sappy’, huh?) Perhaps some those recent experiences inspired me when I started to stamp with this fun, new-to-me set. At the moment, I’ve left it without a sentiment, planning to wait until sending to be sure it fits the needed occasion.
This layout follows the SC243 sketch this week at SCS. A little extra “other stuff” has entered into 
the daily routine here, but I knew that no matter how long it took, I wanted to stamp with this set for this sketch. So, persistence wins! All stamps are from the same set. Instead of stamping anything on the main image panel, all flowers & the glitzy bug were stamped on scrap cardstock, colored with copics, then cut out and glammed up with glitter glue! Bling was added to the centers, and the rest is pretty self-explanatory. I so appreciate your stopping by today!
