Bee Happy

 Good morning, hope you enjoyed a pleasant weekend, weather here was lovely, plenty of sunshine but felt so much cooler and fresher now that the temperatures have dropped a bit.

Today's card is a reminder for our August Challenge at Stamping Sensations, the theme is

 Birds, Bees and Butterflies- or Anything Goes. There are lovely prizes of  Lavinia Stamps to be won.

I started with some die cut hexagon shapes and frames, inked and stencilled the backgrounds and stamped my pretty Lavinia bumblebees. 

The background was made by smooshing yellow, orange and brown distress inks onto my cardstock and letting them run down a bit. I added some stencilling and stamping using an A&C stencil and a mesh stencil, and a variety of stamps including the tiny Lavinia bees.

There's still plenty of time to join in this month, please hop over to the challenge blog for some lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT and full full details of how to enter- and the lovely prizes.

Thanks for visiting

have a good week.

Chris
