B is For


B is for...
Be kind.
Be true.
Be yourself.


CAS-ual Fridays has a really great challenge this week: Create a clean and simple project using at least 3 shades of a monochromatic color of your choice plus brown. We have a fantastic sponsor, Stmapotique Originals.

I stamped the Big Bee from Stampotique and a sentiment on a white cardstock base. The other layers were glued onto each other and then popped up with dimensional adhesive. 

As always, I invite you to please check out the CAS-ual Fridays blog for additional challenge details, read more about the sponsor and rules and see some fabulous designs by the Girl Fridays!

Supplies:
Cardstock: (White) Office Max, (Yellows) Bazill
Patterned Paper: (Life's Portrait) Websters
Stamps: (Big Bee) Stampotique, (Sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages) PTI
Ink: (Java) Versamagic
Other: (Circle Cutting System) Creative Memories
