You're the Bees Knees

Oh . . .hi!  I'm back with a quick and easy card today.  When I saw these little bees from Honey Bee Stamps, I knew they had to come and live in my little studio!  They are so stinkin' cute!

And there's a video, too! I think I'm getting the hang of this video stuff.  If you haven't subscribed yet, you can do so right over there in the top right hand corner.

Okay. . . on to the card:

I started by stenciling a honey comb background using Scattered Straw Distress Ink onto a white panel.

Then I stamped the Beehive onto patterned paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I cut that out by hand, but used the dies that coordinate with the stamps to cut out the center of the hive.

I added a little bit of shading to the Hive using Y15 and YR24 Copic Markers.

I stamped the left- and right-facing bees directly on the stenciled panel and colored the bodies with Y15 and the wings with BG0000.  I stamped the front-facing bee on a scrap piece of paper and colored him with the same colors.  I used the coordinating die to cut him out.

I used foam tape to adhere the Beehive to the stenciled panel and then added the front-facing bee to the top of the hive with foam tape, as well.

I stamped the bee "trails" in Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiment in Onyx Black VersaFine ink.  To finish it up, I added some Star Dust Stickles to all the wings.  And there ya have it!  Quick and Easy!

Thanks for buzzing by today!
