Hello everyone

I'm back today to show you a card I made using some more 

First I stamped and coloured the cute bees with 
Copic Markers
YR18, YR16, YR04, Y17, Y15, Y13, N9, N7, N4, BG53, BG10, BG0000

Then I cut them out - but there are a matching set of dies you can use if you prefer...
Bizzy Bees Outline Die Set

Then I die cut a piece of watercolour card using the 
Slimline Card Builder
placing the circles dies as shown to create the apertures.

I die cut a second slimline piece of watercolour card with out any apertures and used the 
to create the background, blending Distress inks over it to create the honeycomb effect.  I then splattered water and Perfect Pearls over the inky background.

I fixed the card with the circular apertures over the inky card and fixed it down with 
Foam Tape

Then I die cut some white card with the 
Honeycomb Pattern Die 
and fixed it to the card design as shown.

I then fixed the cute 
Bizzy Bees
to the card design as shown.

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the 
Bizzy Bees Clear Stamps
onto white card and cut it out with a 
Quick Strips Die

I fixed the sentiment to the bottom of the card design as shown.
