Hello everyone: Well, the Twofer Card Challenge #17 is all about BEES, these little marvels of Nature so, I was astonished that I didn't have more bee images to work with for this challenge.
I finally made up my mind and used a retired SU set called "Just Buzzing By".
Here are my cards together.
My first card: Stamped the images on Canson Mixed Media paper with Stazon black ink and colored them with Prismacolor pencils. I replaced the sign on the door of the hive by stamping it again, masking the "Hive Sweet Hive" words and replacing them with a handwritten "Welcome Home" ones, making this card a welcome home card.
******************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from a retired Flourishes set called "On the Porch", the jar of Honey is from the Bee set.
This is my Twofer.
On this card I used the same little bees and a few images from other sets.
The banner is from an old Flourishes set called "Smore Fun", the gifts are from another retired Flourishes set called "All Wrapped Up!", the Jar is from the bee set. I sponged a bit of Hello Honey ink using a beehive stencil.
Everything is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.

Great thinking turning your first card into a Welcome Home card you sure know how to use your stash to whip up some amazing cards!
Oh, good heavens, Maria, these are both adorable! You had a very cute bee set after all and you put it to good use. I love the welcome home card with the cozy little hive, and it's so FUN that you made the second one into a birthday party! I knew you'd make something awesome for this month's challenge. You always do! Thanks for joining us at Twofer!

First, Maria, I have to say that your printing is excellent! I never would have known that wasn't a Welcome Home stamp! Those bees are the cutest! The whole beehive home scene is darling! And I love the birthday party scene you created so well from the background stenciling to the colors and shadows to the wonderful matting! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #17! Hugs, Darnell
