This is the last sketch I will be designing for the Sketch team. It has been a lot of fun doing sketches, but the timing of posting is killing me with other committments I have. I will however be making cards for the sketch whenever I can.
Instead of the usual yellow honeycomb, I went with punched hexes from some flower paper. That is where they get the honey from after all. I went with a blue hive so that I could carry more of the blue from the flower papers. Quite happy with how this turned out.

I like the shape of these bees, Pat, so cute! The dp's look so pretty with the flowers taking on a whimsical look. A lovely card for a friend letting her know you care.

I love what you've done with the hexagons, punching them from that gorgeous floral paper and fitting them together, leaving a perfect spot for the sentiment. Great looking bees and hive; finishing it off with my favorite black and white gingham ribbon = Perfection!
Thank you for all the wonderful sketches you've provided us, Pat!
