Bee obsession . . .

No matter the season,

I can't get enough of bee and butterfly images.

I found this butterfly image

and

combined it with several chippies

from

Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts

I began with this 

Honeycomb & Queen Bee Set.

Bees + crowns

what's not to like!

I used black embossing powder on the bee

+

gold chunky embossing powder on the crown.

Using a piece of the honeycomb,

that was also embossed

with

bronze embossing powder.

Next was the frame for the butterfly image.

It was a small image 

so I used one of the square frames from the

Filligree Frame Set.

Keeping the color theme going,

I first painted the frame in

black acrylic.

Once the paint was dry,

I inked up a detail background stamp

and stamped on top of the frame

with

VersaMark

then used bronze embossing powder

over that and embossed.

Layering, flowers and a small ribbon

followed to complete the card.

Hope you enjoyed this little foray

into my world of bees & butterflies.

You can see more bees here:

And just in case you're more of a 

butterfly afficionado

See you in a couple of weeks 

and thanks for visiting.
