For this week's TLC challenge - you can find full details and links to the relevant tutorials HERE once the challenge has gone live.
I cut 3 yellow hexagons using the three largest dies. For the stamped layers, I cut two of the smallest one and one of the medium and trimmed them slightly.
The bottom one was stamped with the honeycomb in mustard seed, then the verse and then the border stamp from In Full Bloom, which I coloured with pencils. I sponged the edges lightly.
Middle layer was stamped with the flower which I masked and then added all the leaves; coloured with pencils and sponged in the background.
For the top layer I stamped the honeycomb again, then stamped the flowers in carved pumpkin and the vine and leaves in forest moss. I added Stickles to the flower centres while I was edging all the hexagons.
The bee was stamped on light watercolour paper, coloured with pencils and two layers of SN clear glitter pen added to his wings.
I used the largest die as a template to cut a slightly larger base.

This is bee-yootiful (I just had to). Such gorgeous and rich colors, love the honey looking stickles. The fab coloring on the bee gives wonderful visual texture, the body looks fuzzy and soft. Love this sweet telescoping card!

SO COOL, Sabrina! And I just loooove the addition of the glitter to the edges! It makes me think of happy, buzzing bumble bees. Truly great card - thank you for sharing!

I always admire people who can make this type of construction card and have it turn out so amazing. The colour combination is so very rich - a nice honey colour for your bee themed creation.
