Bee Kind

It's time to participate in the Double Trouble challenge! 

There are always three components to these challenges - here they are: 

Thing 1 - Include one spring item made using punches, dies, cutting machines or fussy cutting. 

Thing 3 - Put some sweetness in your project - include a bee, honey 

or honeycombs 

Thing 2 - Enter your project into the "Bitten by the Bug" challenge blog 

(except fussy cutting can’t be used here)

I created a card that meets all three "Things" requirements.

I began by using texture paste coloured with a Saffron re-inker to create the colour I wanted. That was spread across a honeycomb stencil and left to dry. Two pieces of patterned paper were added to the card front and then I cut the bee and the sentiment from free Cricut files and assembled them on top of the card. The yellow sections were brushed with the Gold Shimmer Brush. The card front was mounted on a stitched rectangle die cut. 

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
