For this card I've used a First Edition bee die and a Tim Holtz stencil.
When I've used the bee die before, I've cut it once in brown or black then again in yellow to inlay into the body - but that leaves me with a yellow bee which isn't very useful but is too good to throw away. So today I cut the bees in white and then used a sponge dauber to colour the different sections before reassembling them.
I am sharing this with

I love bees, they're the bringers of all life! and your card does them justice, so thank you for playing with our 4th Birthday challenge at AAA cards
Hi Jane! What a beautiful inked background to go with the bees die-cuts. I love how the die-cuts are so intricate and you have inlaid the yellow body into them. Nice take on birthday theme. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA cards. Happy crafting. Hugs - Bharati
