Greeting card with blue flowers and yellow butterflies on a green background. Text reads "hello friend." Bright and cheerful design.

Hello Lovelies! I'm back again with the Swiss Dots background! Rainbow stamping and Copic-Coloring this Bee-Day card was the first thing I did with the Moments In Time release. When I finished it, I realized that I also had a honeycomb stencil that would have been another fun option as the background for this card.

I love it that you can have multiple options for cuteness on this card! Whether you choose to stick with my "mistake" or stencil a honeycomb rainbow, I think you'll be smiling either way when you are done.

This Bee-Day card is absolutely adorable! It’s lovely to see how color and detail can completely transform a project, and the same goes for fashion. A bold piece like the MobLand 2025 Tom Hardy Black Leather Jacket does just that for an outfit. Perfect for adding a statement look, just like your rainbow bee card does for birthdays!
