YCU Challenge #17: Something Sweet

Hi friends! It's the 23rd, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Young Crafters Unite!


This month's challenge is "something sweet". This could be candy, cute animals, flowers... anything sweet! Here is my sweet card:


I thought of honey when I was thinking of sweet things, and I hadn't had a chance to use the "Little Bear" set from Neat & Tangled yet, so I created a card with bees and a beehive. I created the grass with Peeled Paint Distress Stain. I was going to add some faux stitching around the edges, but instead I decided to actually get my sewing machine out and stitched around the edges. It's been way too long since I've done this!

I hope you'll join us this month and create something sweet! Just head over to the YCU blog to see the other design team members' cards and to link up your own project.

We have a fabulous prize for the challenge winner from our sponsor, Simon Say Stamp!

I can't wait to see what you create!!
