Nature's Beehive

I thought this beehive stamp by PSX would go nicely with Stampin’ Up’s Nature Walk.  I started with a piece of Naturals White paper and stamped the beehive in StazOn Black then colored it with markers and a Blender Pen.  The bee was stamped in StazOn Timber Brown and colored with Crumb Cake & So Saffron also with a Blender Pen.  I sponged all the edges with Crumb Cake.

The sentiment was inked up with VersaMark then Rich Razzleberry and embossed with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

I added Cotton Candy Stickles to the pink flowers and Distressed Scattered Straw to the bee.  The ribbon is 3/8” Taffeta in Kraft.  I really like the botanical look to this card.
