7. On the scrap of Daffodil Delight ink up the stripes of the bee with Tuxedo Black Memento for the body. Punch out with the Bee Builder Punch. On a scrap of Basic White use Tuxedo Black Memento for the outline of the wings and Real Red ink for the solid wings (big heart) and then use the Bee Builder Punch to punch them out. Adhere together with Multipurpose Glue and then add with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a bow at the bottom of the Beehive with the Sweet Sorbet ribbon.
