Hello Honey

Here's my card for this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I used a bee image and coordinating honeycomb patterned paper to put this one together.

The bee image is from the Paper Smooches Bee Mine set.  I colored the bee with Copic markers, then used the matching die to cut out the colored image.  It doesn't show in the photo, but I added some sparkle to the bee's wings using a clear glitter pen.  I also coated the bee's eyes with a bit of clear Pico Embellisher for a glossy look.

I used foam tape to adhere the bee to a pale gray panel with an angled piece of patterned paper extending out from the lower right corner.  The pattern was perfect for a bee themed design!  For more sparkle, I used a clear crystal flourish to form a flight trail for the bee.  The set's "hello honey" sentiment was stamped along the top edge of the angled panel in black ink.  I layered the finished panel on a coordinating cheery yellow card base.
