Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
A great challenge ay? I had too many options, so decided to go CAS.
I haven't a clue how this card came about, as it started as something else, then I saw the bee, Ah! stripes! I have a dots embossing folder, dots and stripes, of course! And so it began. I used some scrap card and stamped the bee, then coloured it and used sparkle ink for the wings and 3D glaze for his eyes. I fussy cut it. The scrap card was even big enough to cut a square, which I embossed with the EF.
The sentiment was stamped onto another piece of scrap, with a stamp I was very lucky to win in the #455 Snippets Playground Challenge, I even got a glass of champagne in the treehouse! Then noticed even the sentiment has dots.
I needed something to "ground" the dots square, so I embossed a square die (with stitched dots) into the card. The dots square was placed inside it and the bee and sentiment was 3D'd onto it. A few more dots than stripes, but I think it's OK, seeing as the stripes are more prominent?

A smart new look blog (hopefully I didn't miss before and it's been there ages!).
Today's card is real fun and so striking with all the white space, makes the focal elements really pop.

My kind of card Faith, I love CAS design, this one is stunning, and that little Bee is adorable he really is. xx
Love the design of this Faith. If it’s not too daft a question, how do you emboss a die into your card ? I like that a lot but don’t understand how to do it without cutting out the due ☺️

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful little card with that cute bumble bee and that dotted panel! I just posted a card yesterday that would fit this challenge today..........sigh Bad timing! LOL
That's the absolute perfect sentiment for that fun looking little bee! Too cute! LOVE the CAS too and the all those dots.

Such a cute little card and the texture/dies that you have used on your white card are so pretty too Michelle x
I love your fabulous card, what a cute little bee, it's a great design too, Kate x
It's great, love the embossed frame. It came together really well xx
Wow, such fabulous CAS!!! Love so much the way you layered the embossed square on the outer embossed squares and the bee is so cute!
So, so pretty. Think the stripes a red there OK, just love it.
Lovely design Faith, I have that embossing folder and I think it gets used more than anything else because I think it looks so effective even though it is just dots ! The little bee is so cute too xx
Genius, Faithie! Love the little bee and the sentiment is perfect, as is your arrangement of snippets. I'm strangely into using my snippets to make something out of right now. My brain and body have both been taken over by the horrible summer heat and drought here, so I'm just going with it as long as it interests me to take my mind off the weather. XOX
What a great cas card Faith.
A great take on the challenge it looks wonderful.
Oh what a great fun card, this little guy would bring a smile to anyone's face ... I'm just dotty about him!

Fabulous card Faith and I love that bee! hugs x
I LOVE this bee CAS card Faith! Love the embossed stitched squares dies on the card and love the polka dot embossing. That bee is just too dang cute and the sentiment is so true! It really is the little things in life! Hugs, Brenda
Awesome embossed dot background within the square! Love the fun bee, so cute! Great card, well done!
Super adorable! The embossed square with the bee is definitely the "bee's knees!"
What a lovely bee card and the perfect sentiment to go with it too! Loving the embossing.
I am SO sorry Faith, but we have a Christmas theme for the current Snippets Playground challenge, and we only allow 1 entry per challenge, so I have had to remove this entry. I think all those champagne bubbles up in the treehouse went to your head! xxx
You have used the dots and stripes theme perfectly on this fun design, Faith. That little bee is just too cute!
This is super cute and in Faith. I was so focussed on the mini dots that I nearly missed the stripes that you’ve also cleverly got on your card! X
A lovely CAS card Faith! Love the embossed background and that little bee is a cutie! Congratulations on your win at The Snippets Playground :) Vicky x
PS Photographing the cards is the hardest part in my opinion!!
What a fabulous cute card Faith, love your bee and sentiment and love the dotted embossed background, gorgeous CAS card..
Luv CHRISSYxx
What a super fun card, Faith. I love the bee and how you used a white background (with those fabulous dots) to showcase and make the bee stand out so nicely. Great job on this sweet card.
A very nice man's card, you used stripes and dots perfectly
Very cute card!!!
Oh my gosh I love this super fun bee. Great CAS design.
Your bee looks like he should read the sentiment as it looks a little sad, sad but cute. Love the Casness on this beauty definitely, less is more with that pop of colour.

So bright and cheerful, really love this Faith.
Super fun card! love that bee!!
