The Cutest Bees

Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 I fell in love with these bees when they were released and I just knew I had to make something with them.

Here is a birthday card I made.  The Bees were paired up with the Dahlia and Peony Background Builder  I coloured the images with Copics and created the sky using a cloud die and Distress Ink.  The sentiment is from Stampingallday.  I used Liquid Pearls to fill in the little pollen heart and trail.

 Hi Everyone

Today is the start of this months challenge over at CCC Digi Creations 

 

The theme for this month is Things with Wings and I am so excited that we are being sponsored by Sweet November Stamps

 

The DT were kindly given a choice of images and I chose to work with this one called Burning Love - Fennick Bundle
