Paper Pieced Bumblebee One Hour Card Class 010 OHCC010

The beautiful Dragonfly Dreams bundle set includes a sweet little bumblebee – I love how realistic he looks!  I have made many dragonfly cards but decided it was time to use the bee. I made the honeycomb background by brayering ink onto the raised side of the Honeycomb Embossing Folder then closing the folder and giving it a good rub to transfer the ink. 

Added some splatters and lace images to my panel, then roughed up the edges before adhering it to my card. 

I stamped and die cut the bee.  Sponged his wings. 

Then I sponged a scrap of white with ink and stamped the body only. 

I cut out the body and attached it to the wing piece. 

I changed the color of my baker’s twine by setting the twine on the ink pad.  Set a sponge on top and pull the twine to recolor it. 

I think the rest is fairly straight forward.  Not that it shows in the picture but I added a bit of sparkle on the bee with clear Wink of Stella. 

And, of course, a matching envelope.
