This is one of those cards that I wasn't sure where I was going with it but I am very happy with the outcome. The color combination is a little different for me but I have to say I really like it and I hope you do too! ;-)
I started by stamping the images from the Queen Bee stamp set on to an oval die cut. Then I added some color using Copic markers (listed below). To make the die cut I used the Grand Calibur™ and S4-314 Lacey Ovals from Spellbinders™. After I had all of the coloring done I applied adhesive to the die cut and adhered it to Nestaboard™ Lacey Ovals from Want2Scrap™. Then I added the Nestabling™ Lacey Ovals Orange Rhinestones and Baby Bling Turquoise Rhinestones around the oval die cut. I also made a little tag using a sentiment from Queen Bee stamp set and LF-002 Creative Book Pages Two.
Here is a close up of the stamped images. I added diamond stickles to the crown and wings.
To create the flower and leaves I used S5-050 Rose Creations and S4-328 Foliage.
To create the border I used S5-058 Ironwork Accents die template and lace and trim.
To create the background I used the New Grand Impressabilities GI-004 Fancy Flourish and then made the embossing really pop by adding a couple colors of ink.

What a beautiful card Heidi. I´m really amazed, how good it loks, when it´s done with such a simple stamp, but it really do. I know, it probably wouldn´t be a stamp, I would ever choose, but after seing this, I know, I´ll look a bit different even on very simple stamps in the future. You´ve done an awesome job on this and it looks gorgeous.
