Enjoyed this color challenge as I have been thinking about this scene for awhile. And I was finally able to use my tea bag on this card! I am trying to learn some of these wonderful techniques from all you talented folks out there in SCStamperland! I sprayed the WC paper and the applied the three colors to acetate and the smooshed onto the paper. I did this twice to deeper the color. I got to use my new Tim Holtz honey comb die, added the cotton ribbon for a bit of dimension, stamped the tea bag with the bee stamp. Highlighted with black marker, colored with yellow marker and sponged with crushed curry. Stamped the grass and added a bit of grunge with the black dots, added the green brads and mounted. Ruffed the edges of the marina mist for a bit more texture. I didn't have a specific inspiration for this card except that spring is here and honey bees are so important to our agricultural community and the colors were perfect for creating a spring card! Thanks for looking!

Beautiful with an organic feel. Love how you used the colors. The bees stamped on the tea bag are fabulous. Love the partial honeycomb. The tall grass adds to the earthy look. Love the splatters, the twill ribbon and the distressed edges; all provide continuity with the theme. Well done! TFS
