Our bee keeper friend has already brought his baby hives down for the season so we have tons of little honey bees buzzing around here. Thought I'd capture one and put him on a card for you. hee hee Actually this little bee is one of the images in Stephanie Ackerman's Love Bugs collection from Purple Onion Designs.
I created the background with Distress inks and a TCW chicken wire stencil and then cut it out. To add some interest I did a bit of doodling around the edge of the cut out panel with a white gel pen.

bee Y19, N7, R20, R22, BG000

Super cute card, love the background and that fun little guy, your friend is sure to be delighted :)
Oh, my goodness, love, you've been a busy bee! No pun intended, but I've sure gotten behind over here again. This is darling! LOVE that bit of solid black edging, too! It brings the eye right to your sweet, little showcase.
Love love love this card! Amazing background. Pinning this for later. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this is clever, Tracy! And it reminds me of the song "Be Happy" from years ago! So fun! Hugs!
