Beloved – Honey Bee

Welcome back!  Hope your Saturday has been fine.  I am back to creating for a few challenges…

Both Festive Friday (#190) and Double D (#080625) are celebrating National Honey Bee Day.

I used a loose interpretation of the Just Add Ink (#736) Sketch that I flipped to the vertical position.

This required a bit of a dive into my stash of favorites.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Lemon Lolly cardstock.
• Double Die-Cut Background Panel: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic Black cardstock die-cut with the retired background Hexagon Hives Thinlits Die and then the small Hive die from the retired Queen Bee Dies set was used to die-cut five of the larger Hexagons to mimic the strips indicated in the sketch.  Finished size: (4” x 5¼”).
• The sentiment, BELOVED, from the retired Queen Bee stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink within one of the Hexagons.
• Decoration – Bees: Lemon Lolly cardstock scrap.
  • The two Bee images from the retired Honey Bee stamp set were also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die-cut with the coordinating dies from the retired Detailed Bees Dies set.

And that was it!  The Bees were popped up with Mini Dimensionals for a rather neat card.

I appreciate you spending some of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
