I bought some Crafty Individual stamps recently and as an extra Jean kindly sent me a few little single stamps one of which was this really cute little bee image which is so detailed, and that is what I used. I have looked it up and I think it comes from the 'Floral Postcard' collage stamp.
I found a sentiment from my stash which seemed appropriate and stamped it using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I then did a little fairly soft stencilling using a Tim Holtz Honeycomb stencil using Adirondack Sunshine Yellow and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. I then stamped the bee around the sentiment again using the Nocturne ink and coloured them using more of the Spiced Marmalade DI and also some Black Soot DI and used a Wink of Stella Pen to glitter the wings a bit, though it doesn't really show. I think perhaps my pen is running out so must buy a new one soon. I cut the piece of white card slightly smaller than the 6" square card and mounted it up.
Thank you for joining me today and I hope to see you again soon.

A lovely 'less is more' card - not always the easiest to produce without leaving smudges (for me anyway!!)
