Vintage Bee

We're going vintage today at Snapdragon Stamps.  At least, it looks vintage to me:

That bee stamp reminds me of Victorian-era books about the natural world, what do you think?  I was using another old SCS sketch challenge and needed a sentiment that would fit on the bottom panel, and Vintage Verses was still out from yesterday's card.  Somehow even with the SAMJ, it took me three tries to get the sentiment on there kinda straight...I'm that special that I can stamp crooked even with the SAMJ.

The color combo is from Dynamic Duos, though I did use an awful lot of Soft Suede too...

Thanks for stopping by today!
