Visible Image Bee Happy

Today I am celebrating the first day of summer vacation with a this fun Bee Happy card using the Visible Image Bee Happy stamp set and the Honeycomb Hex stencil.

I love this pretty bee set and decided to use the smaller bees for my card. I started by masking of a section of my card and blended Distress Oxide in Mustard Seed and Wild Honey. I then used the Honeycomb Hex stencil and applied Ranger Ink Crackle Paste and adding a little bit of gold flakes randomly to the paste.

While my background was drying, I stamped the bees on Bristol Smooth paper with black ink and watercolored them with Zig Real Brush Markers. I fussy cut them out and layered them on top of each other to give them more dimension.

I attached the bees to my dry background and then stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful summer filled with happiness!
