I've made a faux postage sheet using a piercing tool for the holes, oops not really straight my lines...I've glued that panel on a z-fold, one side is embossed with the honey comb die cut/EF, I've stamped the bee in different postures and added 25ct hand wrote the sentiment, used a die cut yellow bee and wool to embellish, I forgot to say I've sponged over the embossing with black and white

Wow what a great job. I don't mind that the lines are not quiet straight. I have a stamp I use sometimes that says Toadily home made that has a frog on it. Thanks for sharing.

I love this card, Anita. Bees are a great thing to honor on a stamp. They do such an important job for our world and even though they are small and too often overlooked, we could not live without them without giving up some of the plants and veggies they so desperately need in our lives.

I am impressed that your faux stamps look so realistic, Anita. Very impressive, very cool! A lot of work to put that together! I too love bees, because, without them, so much of our food supply would not be possible, they are definitely heroes. Beautiful artwork!

Bees are more important than humans, because without bees, there would not be humans. Love that faux postage. You've been busy this week with your family, amazing you had time to make something.
