Bertie's Honeycombe

Hello and welcome to my blog  :)  This is the second of my CB DT blog posts today, and it was also one of my samples for the CB 'Bee' shows on tv.  I have used stamps from the Honey Bee and Silhouette Grasses sets; Distress Oxide ink - Warm Honey, Yellow Sparkle pen,Versamark ink, white embossing powder, a die, a stencil and some metal embellishments from my stash.

I stamped the honeycombe image onto a panel of Kraft card using Versamark ink and embossed it with white powder.  I used the Sparkle pen to paint the Bee's and white gesso to paint the wings.  

I took a honeycombe stencil and added white gesso through it onto the panel.  I trimmed the bottom edge of the Kraft card to accentuate the cells.  I then added yellow Sparkle pen to a piece of white card slightly bigger than the focal panel and used it to mat the panel onto.  On a spare piece of Kraft card I stamped and embossed a Bee image and the words from the set.  I then cut the Bee out, and cut the words into a panel.   

I took a white base card and stamped the Silhouette Grasses in DO ink repeatedly on both sides.  I then attached the focal panel to the card and added the Bee and sentiment panel using 3D glue gel.  

I took another piece of Kraft card and die cut a large Bee.  I drew around the body on white card and cut it out, then coloured it with the Sparkle pen.  I attached the card to the back of the large Bee then attached that to the card.  

I added a couple of metal embellishments from my stash, which echoed the honeycombe theme of the card.

This is a really simple and fresh design which I think  would suit a variety of occasions, and cards for both men and women.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope that you've enjoyed this post and that you'll drop in again soon  :)
