Everyone seems to love bees on cards, so today’s clean & simple challenge was a fun one!
I began by cutting five butterflies to go with my Bumblebee Trinket. This butterfly is one of the Meadow Dies, which I really like, because it includes some embossing. I brushed the edges of their wings with five colors of ink: Mango Melody, Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red.

“bee” filled with sunshine
The sentiment, “May your day be filled with sunshine,” is from the Celebrate With Flowers Stamp Set. I stamped it in Stazon Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used a Painted Labels Die for cutting.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, layered on a Thick White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. For a little extra pizzazz, I glued a 1/4″ X 5 1/4″ strip of Pattern Party Designer Paper on the left side.
I attached the butterflies with Dimensionals, and the BumblebeeTrinket with a Glue Dot, and my clean & simple card was complete.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
