Hello Honey Bee friends! I hope you are having a good week so far! Today I’m sharing a sweet get well card where I’ve featured the Lovely Layers: Wildflowers and the bee from the Lovely Layers: Bugs. This was a quick, and easy, card to make, and a good type of card to have on hand!

First I die cut the Swirling Leaves Pierced A2 Cover Plate from 80# Neenah. I trimmed it to 4″ x 5-¼” and adhered it to an A2 card base with foam tape. I love the subtle detail this creates for a background!

Next I pulled out some colored cardstock scraps and die cut (using the new Bitty Buzz Cutter) the Lovely Layers: Wildflowers and the bee from Lovely Layers: Bugs. The Bitty Buzz Cutter is the cute little die cutter I didn’t realize I needed! It’s so convenient to have right by my main crafting space!

I added Distress Inks and Oxide Inks with Detail Blender brushes for shading on the flowers and greenery. I used Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. The Distress Oxide colors are Abandoned Coral and Peacock Feathers. You may be wondering why I used Distress ink and Oxide ink–well, honestly, I didn’t even notice that I did until I began writing this post! LOL!

I assembled the flowers by following the layering guide that you can download using the link in the product description. I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the pieces together. I also used the glue and some foam dots to adhere the pieces to my card.

I used my black Copic marker to color in the stripes of the bee. Then I used a black Micron 005 pen to add little fuzzy lines. I die cut the wings from vellum, then added sparkle with a clear glitter pen. I used a small foam dot to adhered the small bee body piece and then more foam dots to pop him up on the card.

For the sentiment I chose one from the Get Well Soon set and stamped it in black ink. I pulled out the coordinating Honey Cut to die cut the sentiment and popped it up with foam strips.

I hope you’ve been inspired by my card today! Thank you so much for stopping by–have a wonderful, crafty day!
