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

Great minds think alike lol. Absolutely beautiful card, great stamped background and love the gorgeous Lavinia Bees. Thankfully a lot cooler and even had some drizzle this morning but quite welcome after all that heat!

Hi Chris, we have to remove your card from Triple B as the challenge is Three B's, meaning Birds, Blooms and/or Butterflies, sorry, but it is perfect for our The Four Seasons challenge, thanks for understanding!
A great card Chris, love the background, makes me think of those little bees making honey.
