The Allsorts Challenge is running for two weeks this time with great prizes as always. The theme is **Seasons Delights** or of course you can opt for *anything goes*. I've chosen the Summer season and have used some Honey Bee stamps which I've had for some time but I think bees will always make me think of Summer. I stamped the honeycomb twice onto a piece of cream card and the beehive onto a separate piece. Both images were coloured using pencils and the beehive was fussy cut and layered over the background honeycomb. A sentiment was added and two bees stamped and die cut to fly around the card.
Honeycomb and Hive - stamp set from Chocolate Baroque
Words - stamp which came with a magazine freebie set
Bees - stamps and dies from a Stampin' Up set (retired)
Colouring - Polychromos pencils
This reminds me of summer too as there are always new bees nests and hives around the yard. Very creative and fun card
ReplyDeleteI love the skep and the bees around it, plus the delicious looking honeycomb. Beautifully coloured Val.
