Hi All!
I’m using my Seamus Sheep stamp set again (see my last card here). I REALLY wanted some smiling bees to go with my Paper Smooches Courteous Cuties set. Perfect bees are hard to find, but I found them… in this Honey set by Inky Antics. So cute!
Here is a close-up of the colored sheep. I colored her (it’s a her, isn’t it? I think I called it a him in the video) with dots because I wanted her to look fluffy:
Enjoy the video!

Original design with the frame and the ewe cut out. Very cute Darlene! I want those oxide inks… on my wish list as of tonight : )

I love your new website format, Darlene! I agree about bees! I’m holding out for Pretty Pink Posh’s new bee set. This card is adorable!
Bertie
So cute. You have such great stamp sets.

This card is as cute as can BEE!
Carol Mac
OMG how cute is that card!! I don’t have any of those sets, nor any bee stamps, but think I might add them to my wish list! Thanks Darlene!
Andrea
Really cute card, Darlene! I honestly thought the inked panel was cardstock or patterned paper, before I saw the video. You did such a great job on the ink blending! I’ve gotten some of the Distress Oxides, but haven’t really played with them yet. I’ll have to break them out when I get a chance! 🙂 ~ Andrea

This is just adorable. That Sheep knitting is so cute and the Bee is such a happy little guy.
Love those oxide inks will need some soon I think.
The frame really draws your eye in.
Glenismaree
How cut is that!!! I love it. Another enjoyable video Darlene.
Laura Norris
This is really adorable! That bee is the cutest bee I’ve seen! I bought the oxide inks and love them too! So much easier to blend than the regular distress. Another great card Darlene!
Connie
This card was adorable and very clever. I have that sheep stamp but no bees. Hmm! I guess that’s going on my wish list too.
Irene
Men knit too. 🙂 (Tried to copy an image, but can’t.) Cute card! Doesn’t Paper Smooches have a bee stamp? For some reason, I thought they did.
Kylie Adams
This is such a fun card… I just got the distress oxide inks – i liked the fact that they look easier to blend than the normal distress inks. I am looking forward to playing with them soon..

Super cute card Darlene! I love the sentiment and I love the two critters together. An unlikely pair but oh so cute together! I so want the distress oxide inks, one day. Hugs, Brenda

I love, love, love your card! It is to stinking cute for words! LOL I don’t have any bee stamps because I am terrified of them! I’ve never been stung but if you’ve ever seen how bug bites swell up on me & itch for days and days, then you would know why I am scared to get stung. People say I am probably allergic and I don’t want to find out. However, this bee is adorable and I would like him or her. My mom knits and I have a Christmas knitting sheep stamp set but there are a few of the stamps in the set that aren’t Christmas, like the knitting sheep so they can be used any time. Since I don’t have a bee stamp yet I would have to say Ewe are so cute! That would work, right?
