I’m somewhat obsessed with the background stamp from the April My Monthly Hero Kit. The matching layered stencil makes it so much fun and easy to color. Best of all, I can get two cards out of one background. Colored with GKD inks: Wild Dandelion, Prickly Pear, Jelly Bean Green and Fresh Asparagus. After cutting an A-2 panel, I had this piece left. I added black mat. Since I needed a belated birthday card, I used the sentiment from Many Birthdays by Spellbinders. Even though the background has bees, I wanted a larger bee for an accent piece. I colored a bee from the January 2021 My Monthly Hero kit and die cut extras to give it some dimension. I’ve been away from posting and entering challenges for several months. Thanks to Stamp Buddy Johanna, I discovered that Black and Yellow was the combo for the current challenge at Color Hues and thought this would be a good way to jump back in.

Lovely card! This paper is so pretty and I really like the large bee.
Thanks Lisa. That set is really a lot of fun.
Great use of the background stamp and such a wonderful impact with the larger bee. Especially heartwarming to see you posting again.
Thanks Bonnie. I’ve made a few cards, just haven’t gotten around to posting them.
YAY, Judy, you are back posting and what a way to return with this beautiful card. Love that background layer and best of all that you cut it down for two cards. Gorgeous coloring and love your bee.
Thanks Gayle. It’s good to be back. I’ve really had a lot of fun with the background. I hope to get the other card I made posted later.
What a sweet card. That pretty background stamp is beautifully colored. The large bee is the perfect touch. Good to see you posting again.
Thanks Gerry. That bee is a favorite of mine.
I can totally understand your obsession with that background die. Your coloring is wonderful, and it’s great that the bee from an earlier Hero Arts kit worked so well with this month’s stamp! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
Thanks Karen. I’ve missed joining in the challenge the last few months.
Love the floral image and this awesome bee, Judy! Loved seeing this in the gallery at Color Hues!
Thanks Bonnie.
Beautiful card! Love the additional of the little bee. Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
What a great way to get back into creating and posting. Good to see you back and I love the design of this card. That bee is so realistic looking.
Thanks Johanna. I’ve got some other cards done but just haven’t taken the time to get them posted. I hope to get some real card making done this weekend.
Judy, this card is fantastic! That big bee on there is the perfect touch.
