Sweet as A Honey Bee
By Beverley Brown
This card began life using the leftovers from my tag project.
Already having the inky, die cut hexagonal background, I
continued the theme of bees in a summer garden. As you can
see my clean and simple style really shows with this card. Lots of
white space, while still combining a variety of products and media
on my card.
I started with a 13cm square of thick white card, stamping the
same silhouette foliage along the right hand side. I then added a
light blended background using Uniko’s Scattered Polka Hexagon
Stencil. I altered the hexagonal die cut background by trimming
some sections off as I wanted it to sit in the upper right corner
of the card, leaving space for a sentiment stamped to the lower
left. I added the trio of bees with foam adhesive embellishing the
bees with some clear Wink of Stella and again adding some of my
favourite Nuvo Drops to accentuate the sentiment. Materials
