Hello everyone, it's time for the new Allsorts challenge where I am hosting this time. For my optional theme I chose "Bees, Blooms and Birds". Any or all, and then there is always the Anything Goes option if that works better for you.
It's a bee themed card from me, always love them but somehow I rarely make them. Maybe I need more bee themed stamps!!
The focal point is a large bee stamp from the Visible Image set Bee Happy. I stamped with Versafine Onyx ink, colored with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, then fussy cut. For the "honeycomb" background I used my Chickenwire stencils (old by TCW) with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress inks. I used a circle die to cut out the honeycomb, inked around the edge with Wild Honey Distress ink then glued onto the Posted die cut by Penny Black. I used foam tape to add the bee to the posted die. Those of you in the UK can find the Posted die set at Buddly Crafts along with many other goodies!

I rarely think to make anything bee themed either despite thinking cards made with them usually turn out great. I like how textured your card seems.
Wonderful card, Ellie. The bee is fabulous.

Beautiful card, Ellie! That bee is very striking, and the background goes perfectly with him. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
Wow, what a fantastic bumblebee! I love these insects with their fuzzy coats. I just find them adorable, and they are so important for preserving our natural world. Your bumblebee turned out brilliantly. Great coloring and a wonderful showcasing. I especially like the sun, which looks like a honeycomb. The background is perfect, too.
Thank you so much for participating in the current "Critter Crazy" challenge.
