I was able to use a particularly unsuccessful stencil deboss (Acrylic Stencil Deboss Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers) background. It's a technique I like, but the colours here were not a good choice here. The hexagon stencil had always made it a natural to use with a bee theme, to tone it down a bit I overlaid it with vellum cut with the TH Mixed Media #1 dies. I stamped the sentiment, and to make adding the vellum easy, I just wrapped it around each side.
The flowers are from a piece of serendipity background, cut with a Spellbinders daisy topper, and with centres punched from a tomato paste tube. The bees are Elizabeth Crafts, and the foliage is Sizzix. I cut them from photo paper, leaving some white and colouring the others with alcohol inks. I used Stickles on the wings for the bees, and added some Posca pen dots.

Wow!! Sabrina, this is gorgeous! I love the beautiful bg paper that really sets the stage for the sweet bee elements. The vellum overlay with the peekaboo honeycomb cutout and pen dots is just wonderful, and of course the flowers, foliage and bees!
