The Violet and the Bee
by John Bannister Tabb
"And pray, who are you?"
Said the Violet blue
To the Bee, with surprise,
At his wonderful size,
In her eyeglass of dew.
"I, madam," quoth he,
"Am a publican Bee,
Collecting the tax
Of honey and wax.
Have you nothing for me?"
I look forward to having the bees flying in my garden as my veggies start to bloom and grow.This week at Freshly Brewed Challenges we are challenging you to use our photo as an inspiration piece for your project(s). I have created 5 cards for this challenge due to my team being out sick and/or other issues beyond their control. Needless to say, they are in need of our smiles, support, and prayers.
The card I created to share with you today is one using the image:
This card was created using the sketch at Eat Sleep Stamp
I colored her up with prismacolor markers and creative inspirations paints in Sunshine yellow and light purple. The DS papers are by Heidi Grace: A Little Bird's Tale (which is kindof wrong considering birds eat bugs ... :/ ..)
I hope you will get the chance to play along this week at FBC. Lots of smiles!!! Stop by tomorrow for another post sharing a Purple and Green creation :D.
HUGS!! and have a very blessed day!
