Honey garden bee card


Look at all of these happy little bees!
Today is the day when I post my my Simple Sunday video
For the whole of this week, ever since I bought the beautiful little bee stamps and began using the Golden Honey DSP, I have had Arthur Askey singing the busy little bee song in my head like an ear worm. I realize most of you are much too young to remember Arthur who was often on TV back in England during my childhood. Honestly I hadn't even heard the song again since I was about 9 but it came flooding back to me...
"Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
Whiling away all the passing hours
Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being as busy as a bee can be
Flying around the garden, brightest ever seen
Taking back the honey to the dear old queen"
I am trying not to sing while I write this post , but was trying to remember more lyrics when good old Google came to my rescue! 
I chose a layout or template that you can use on many cards. Last week I posted a layout and many friends asked me to post them more regularly as they make card designing so easy. The card today uses the honey bee stamps and dies, along with the free Designer series paper from sale-a-bration. It is a free item with a $60 order here in Canada.

Card measurements:
Crushed curry cradstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Basic black 5 1/4 x 4" for inside, 3 1/2 x 4 1/4" for outside
Golden honey DSP 3 1/4" x 4"
Whisper white 5 x 3 3/4" for inside 
scraps of black and white for sentiment and stamping images.
