Bee-jewelled

Welcome

I was inspired to make this card from a magazine I bought recently
 - all the freebie stamps and stencils had a bee theme to them.
I will admit to starting with a different plan in mind, but this is what eventuated!


I loved this sentiment, so decided to go with a non-occasion card...


I cut the  hexagon die from a snippet, and stamped the honey comb with Scattered Straw DI, and the lightly brushed with  mustard Seed DI,  and layered it over some more snippets of card to give some subtle dimension. The edges were accentuated with the same inks. 


 The bee was stamped on another snippet with black ink, and the stripes coloured with a marker.  I over-stamped the wings with Electric Black, but the gold in the ink didn't show up much...


So I added Crystal Kindy Glitz to get some shimmer and sheen.  After I had assembled the card I added the three Amber Rhinestones for bling


The inside was finished with some gold patterned Washi tape.

    I love bees and fear for their existence. We must protect our bees whenever we can and we can by careful planting in our gardens.
    This really is a lovely card Maxine, I like everything about it.
    The rhinestones just finish it off perfectly.
    Blessings, Neet xx
