Honey Bees

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

 

The Beekeeper

Create something with BEES on it

For this ATC, I embossed a sheet of yellow-speckled paper using a hexagon embossing folder. 

To add more depth to the honeycomb pattern, I added darker shades of yellow and red to some of the hexagons. On others, I stamped tiny dots. Once I was happy with the result, I tore off a piece and glued it onto the ATC, which I had cut out of the remaining yellow-speckled paper. Outlined the hexagons with a white Posca marker.

I then stamped and colored the bees and the droplets, which actually went quite quickly. 

I brushed the bees’ wings with Wink of Stella, though as usual, you can’t see it. Cut everything out with scissors and glued drops and bees to the honeycomb.

Finally, I stamped a few numbers and other elements onto the ATC, 

and then added “HONEY BEES” using small alphabet stamps. Hope you like it :)
