Buzzin' through swaps

I've been stamping my stinger off this week - I had a super swap to get done - for GTWT Junkie's Convention Quality Swap. Everybody does crazy good work for these swaps ... I just try to keep up. Anyway, this is a sneek peek at a card SIMILAR to one of my CQ Swaps. (The actual one had a interactive element.) These bees are SO adorable. Here, they're just stamped in Basic Black on Whisper White textured cardstock, colored in with a Summer Sun SW Marker, with a little Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamond glitter on their wings. You can't see from this picture, but the dripping honey is also glazed with CE - giving it a very sticky look. Hope the gals like it! It's beeee-tter IRL.

How CUTE! I love the little expressions on the bees. I wish I could see this for real, because I bet the Crystal Effects and the glitter really make the images "pop" and add to the "convention quality" of this card!
