I added a patterned paper to my brown card base. I used a Chicken wire embossing folder on a tan cardstock. (closest I had to honeycomb pattern) Stamped bee images (from borrowed SU set, name??) and Boo sentiments (from cheap store set). Punched sentiment out using Friskers word bubble punch and then trimmed to make smaller. Cut out bees and colored with marker. Found an old box and carefully pulled off one layer so inside curated edges could be seen; cut out 5 elongated ovals, each smaller than the next. I overlapped these as I glued them to card to create hive image. Used black cardstock circle punch trimmed to look like hive entrance.

Bee-utiful for Letter B. Love all your ideas here. The Bee hive is amazing and I like how you repurposed the cardboard to Build the hive. The chicken wire embossing is Brilliant. The Bees are so cute. I didn't understand the "Boo" until I saw the inside. Too funny! Nicely done. TFS

Nicely done! You must have planned the whole thing in your head before beginning. The sentiment inside is great! I wish I had thought of that, although I might just have to use it myself. Excellent!

Wow, very inventive. Pulling apart the cardboard gives it an even more realistic look. (I just ordered that chicken wire e.f. yesterday.). It is great on this.
