Hive minded

I'm really loving the fashion for bees and beehives in crafting at the moment. Maybe I'm not *quite* as crazy about bees as I am about dragonflies - but not far off it!
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

    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
