Dueling Dazzlers- 'Its all a buzz;!!!

Were all a buzz with the July challenge- the Dazzlers hostess is Terry A /Terry S for the Diva's.
The kit was so fun that I made 2 cards : )

This card is so much prettier IRL! The flowers are a vellum overlay and it is over black/white DP.

I will add the deets later : )

  Did you know that the greatest threat to bees in North America today is Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)?  This is where entire hive of bees suddenly disappear.  In the early 2000s there was a sharp increase, especially in North American.  There is still uncertainty about the cause or causes of CCD;  disease, mites, increased use of neonicotinoid pesticides and fungal infections are all possibilities.  There are often multiple stressors, none of which is lethal enough by itself, but the combination is too much for the bees.

The annual failure rate of honeybee colonies averages around 30% in North America.  Honeybee losses are potentially devastating economically since bee pollination is vital to at least one-third of crops worldwide.

Be sure to hop along and see what the other Dazzlers- my team, and the Diva's have made!

Ten and Twenty

 Inspired by a friend, Lynn,  who makes 10 and 20 minute cards with her stamps, I made some CAS cards.

  This stamp was at Hobby Lobby, and my Mother thought it was fabulous. So, I bought it and made these cards for her. This is a flat, One layer CAS card. I colored with Copics and added sparkle with Sakura Gelly Roll pen.
  I am going to enter a challenge for CAS at For the HeART.   

 For the 20 minute card, I stamped the image twice, fussy cut out the butterflies and added glue to just the center of the butterflies. I added sparkle to these cards as well. I am going to enter the CAS challenge at Creative with Stamps with this card.

 I was out of town this weekend, and was fortunate enough to spend the day with my Mother today.
I will catch up on blogs as the week progresses!
