Hi friends! Now that it's August I'm thinking of back to school and fall.. I know.. I need to slow my roll! I blame all the bees in the yard for my thoughts.. they always get more abundant and aggressive this time of year like they're stocking the hive for the coming winter. Just today I found a nest of yellowjackets in the ground and a big wasp nest in my patio umbrella. They're buzzing around the jam in the Oriole feeder and I need to keep my eyes open!
So I decided I will celebrate the bees with this fun card featuring supplies from Waffle Flower. The bees do their part and life wouldn't be good without them. I'm not the only one celebrating the little buzzy bees... there is a challenge at Paperminutes looking for bees on your projects!My card starts with a simple blue cardstock background topped with some hexagon die cuts. I added a branch and a great big hive .. (are you seeing Winnie the Pooh yet?).
Now for the fun part.. embellishing the branch with little leaves and flowers. If you look close you'll see the flower centers are enamel dots.

Wow! You definitely have a way with critters. Coloring is great and placement really makes sense with your backgrounds.
I really need to learn how to make these fun cards! My daughter loves bees and dragonflies!
