Busy buzzing around!

Hello there! Its that time of the month again when we start a new challenge - must be the first then? Scary but true!! Our lovely Jane has chosen the theme of things with wings. Check out what my lovely teamies did  here. I decided I wanted to use my favourite bee die from Tim Holtz and this is what I did!


I started by adding gesso to a kraft card and allowing it to dry.


whilst drying I die cut two paper bees and two acetate bees and embossed them. Then I coloured then and cut the wings from the plastic bee and added them to the paper bees ....I cut the paper bees wings off! Sounds a bit savage doesn't it?


Next I went back to the background and added distress inks through different stencils....


Finally I added the bees and the sentiment!

I h0pe you like my card and can find time to join us in this theme - you might win £20 to spend in Countryview Crafts!

Big hugs

Rachel x
