Recipe Challenge

This was the last challenge from National Scrapbooking Day that I was able to finish before the deadline.  (I had a project planned for each challenge but the time got away from me!)  This challenge required that we use the following recipe:

Use 3 Cricut Image cuts
3 Patterned Papers
A butterfly, bird or bug
Stitching
The color Yellow

I cut out grass from Gypsy Wanderings and the Easter cartridges.  The bee is from Just Because Cards (I cut the wings out in vellum and Cuttlebugged the top layer with my trusty Swiss Dots folder.)  I used a punch for the sun and I hand stitched the bee's trail.  I ended up using four different patterned papers which is double my record, so this was a stretch for me.  This card is for my aunt's birthday who refers to herself as the "Queen Bee."  Naturally I give her a bee card for her birthday every year.  :-)  I also used stickles on the bee's stripes and outlined her with a yellow glitter pen.
