Shaker Bees

Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for the "Shaker Card" challenge at
I covered an old CD with paper from stash and the strip left over put onto card base,the honeycomb die is from TH and the stamped Bees (coloured with promarkers)are from Chocolate Baroque-on the middle Bee I stamped wings onto a scrap of acetate,I found a small bag of golden glitter/embossing powder??? which looked perfect for pollen and added a couple of the die cut negatives inside too-also inked all edges with distress ink.

challenges-
crafty friends-Summer colours
all fun-ATG/colour combo
digi doodles-things with wings-----------TOP 5
incy wincy-interactive
Thank you for dropping by and hope you will join us this month

It seems to me that someone has been a very busy bee over the past couple of days.

The temptation to say wow again is almost uncontrollable, but I am struggling to resist the repartition. This is another stunning project. All of the dies are gorgeous and I love your bee pollen effect, it looks so sparkly.

Have a good week.
