Lovebug

Here's my card for the current sketch at Match the Sketch.  I went bright and cheery on this love themed design using stamps from Paper Smooches.

I made the bee from the Giddy Bugs set my focal image.  The bee was colored with Copic markers, then carefully cut out by hand.  I use this set enough that I really should invest in the matching dies . . . It doesn't show in the photo, but I gave the bee's wings a sparkly coating with a glitter brush pen.  So pretty IRL!

The color scheme for the card came from the heart patterned paper I used for the layout's largest panel.  After setting it in place on the cheery yellow card base, I added a strip of light blue cardstock, then a narrow red strip stamped with the set's "lovebug" sentiment.  The bee was placed on top, using foam tape for dimension.
