Can You Handle the Pressure?


This is a quick post. I actually wanted to avoid writing a post as I am getting lazy, I admit that. I was trying to post from my Instagram account, but the card was sideways, and I could not for the life of me get to correct.

 I am entering this card in the Can you handle the Pressure with a twist of bees or beehives. 

Here is the card that I made for this challenge. 

Supplies are :
Spellbinders beveled diamonds EF
The Greetery honey pot stamp and die
Memory box Itty Bitty Bumblebees die. 
Gold flakes 
Mushrooms that were on my desk. 



Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

Color Hues Challenge - Special Tribute

I am playing along with the team at Color Hues for this challenge. 
Lindsey was a team member there and at Seize the Birthday Challenge. Unfortunately, Lindsey passed away last year from Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey's husband thought t would be an effective way to sell off all her crafting supplies. The proceeds will go to a fund in Lindsey's name.

These colors where Lindsey's favorite. 
Here is my card



White card stock for the base and a Criss Cross die from Amazon. 
Honey Bee Lovely layers Rose in red card stock
The butterfly is Gina K Fluttering Fall Stencil in Purple ink. 
The sentiment is from Spellbinders Gift Border and sentiments. 

This cause is close to my heart as I lost my sister and best friend to Clear Cell Cancer 6 years ago. It is a rare cancer and there is no cure. Much research still needs to be done.
