Just Bee-Cause

The current sketch at Global Design Project was the perfect opportunity to ink up my new Meant to Bee stamp set from My Favorite Things.  I replaced the layout's circle with the set's beehive image.  It's placed on a piece of honeycomb patterned paper using foam tape.  I added one of the set's bees to the hive along with the "just bee-cause" sentiment heat embossed in white on a gray strip.  After edging the patterned paper strip with a narrow piece of gray cardstock to match the sentiment strip, I adhered it to the left side of a pale gray panel.  I wrapped the panel with some yellow baker's twine and secured it with a bow, then adhered the finished panel to a coordinating yellow card base.
