I almost missed this challenge due to being busy with some home stuff. As well, I don’t have any cute bee stamps and the one stamp I do have is MIA, so I made my own. They say get creative so I did. The sentiment is computer generated and is probably something I’ve seen somewhere but cannot credit to anyone at the moment. I did have the honeycomb die which I cut in black to add over the yellow card front. I built the bees by using an ornament stencil, which I traced for the body, fussy cutting and colouring it with Spectrum Noir markers, some vellum for the wings, a small circle stamp for the head and some thread for the antenna and arms. I hand drew the nose and mouth and added googly eyes. My bees are weird but somehow fun and perfection on a handmade card isn’t totally necessary, although it has taken me a long time to realize that.
The heat continues and my laundry dried outside in 2 hours so now it is folding time. Supper first and then finish the chores is the order of my evening. All the news is showing is wildfires everywhere and I’m trying not to think about it because it makes me nervous. Thanks for stopping by and please stay safe everyone.

So fun that you created your own bees. Sometimes it is fun to create with what is available, rather than having the perfect stamp or die. Fun card!

Thanks it was a matter of using what I have instead of worrying about what I don’t.

I just can’t get my head around how creative this is – your brain must work so very differently to mine – great idea and execution. Such a fun card. xx

Honestly, I think my brain is weird. I saw something like this bee somewhere and it stuck so I figured that meant I had to make one. I can’t draw for beans, so I have to figure out how to get what I want. Glad you like it.
