More details on my blog Kath's Blog
I die-cut the two pillow box sections from Distress Watercolor card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Pillow Box + Bag Thinlits. I smooshed Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink on to my media mat, spritzed with water and dragged the panels through the ink, dried, tapped back in to pick up the remaining droplets and dried. I laid the sections side by side and applied Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink randomly through Simon Says Honeycomb 6" x 6" stencil using a Mini Round Blending Tool and set aside. I die-cut the tag from Distress Watercolor card using Simon Says Honeycomb Tag dies to create a frame and coloured with Black Soot Distress Archival ink using the direct to paper technique to leave the detail stitching around the tag white. I coloured another scrap of Distress Watercolor card in the same way and die-cut the bees and honeycomb sections. I assembled the pillow box using the Simon Says Tear-rific Tape included with the kit and added the die-cut bees fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. I fixed the acetate included in the kit to the back of the die-cut tag frame and die-cut the tag again from Distress Watercolor card and stencilled with the Honeycomb Stencil. I fixed the 3D foam strips included in the kit around the edges of the stencilled tag, added the Duckling Embellishment Mix also included in the kit and fixed the die-cut tag frame on top. I coloured Distress Watercolor card with Wild Honey and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks using a Mini Round Blending Tool, die-cut the flowers and leaves using the Honeycomb Tag die, added the flower centres coloured with a Momento Black Brush Marker and fixed along with the honeycomb sections to the tag using Simon Says 3D Foam Squares and Distress Collage Medium. I inked the sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Happy Bee Day 4" x 6" stamp set with Black Soot Distress Archival ink and stamped on to a scrap of Distress Watercolor card. I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Sweet Wafer die 4 times from Distress Watercolor card, layered to create dimension and fixed to the tag with Distress Collage Medium. I die-cut the sentiments using the co-ordinating Bee Happy dies, trimmed the sentiment on the right to remove sweet word and fixed in place with Simon Says 3D foam strips. I die-cut the bees again from Distress Watercolor card and card coloured with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink and inlaid the pieces into the bee bodies. I added the left over flower and leaf die-cuts to the pillow box and decorated both makes with Black and White Check ribbon from my stash.
