Transformation Tuesday

I've been working on this bee card for a bit and was so happy with how the polka dot basics II circles seemed to fit in so perfectly.  Although the focal point was really giving me fits.  Here's the first draft...


Leaving it alone was the perfect thing.  The next time I worked on this card it just came together.  YEA!  Much better!



Card Base: score at 5.5 and 2.75 (embossing top with large circles)

Black: 10.5 x 3.25  score at 4.5 and 7.5
Black strip: .5 x 3.25  (use 1/2 inch cut off top of black)

White front: 4.25 x 3
White inside: 3 x 2.75

Use 1 1/4 punch and 1 3/8 punch for the bee and pop up
