Paper Smooches SPARKS-Bee Mine

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! ***
This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is a Designer Draft challenge.  I used the sketch and the adorable Bee Mine stamp set and coordinating Bee Mine Icons dies to put together a love themed design.

Bee Mine card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Paper Smooches
I stamped the bee image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers, then die cut the colored image.  It's adhered to a white paper doily set at the edge of a pale pink card base.  I made a flight trail for the bee with a piece of a clear crystal flourish.  The "bee mine" sentiment was stamped underneath the bee in red pigment ink.  The stamp has the words stacked one on top of the other, but because they're clear, it was pretty easy to line them up to stamp the text in a single line.  A pair of red hearts, cut with the Tiny Hearts die, adds a final pop of color to the card.
