Thanks A Bunch

I hope you're having a great day! I've been so busy lately! I've been having some stomach issues. My doctor thought I might have a hernia, so I've had some blood tests, and a CT scan. No hernia, perhaps a pulled muscle? The labs revealed some vitamin deficiencies / anemia - so I'm going to try to take better care of myself than I have in the past.
I'm always happy to sneak off to my craft room and make! My cards always start the same way. I cut and arranged die cuts from the Pretty Pink Posh Spring Mug Additions and arranged them on a piece of clear plastic the same size as my card base.
The plastic makes it easy to slip different papers underneath so I could have a sneak peek before I commit I loved how this one turned out. I started by inking a white panel of paper with Distress Ink in Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold. To add some texture I cut it with the Pierced Leafy Vine. A few of the hexagons in the die set add the perfect accents in coordinating colors.
I love the cute little bees too! There are three different ones in this set. An Eyelet Circle makes a sweet doily or is it a saucer for that cup? You decide!
Wishing you a beautiful spring day! I'm linking up to a few challenges with this one including:

A Place to Start - Just Add Flowers
