Hey Honey!


Most times I'd use the color yellow with a honeybee image, but for this card I used orange, simply because I'd already had this Spellbinders Lotus die already cut and assembled in my box of doodads and wanted to use it. It was cut from black and an orange floral dsp and the negatives were swapped for some contrast. The image was a colored digital print that was fussy cut and popped up on the Lotus with foam tape. The sentiment was computer generated, and the background was done with a SU! hexagon embossing folder.

I'm sharing this with the Cuttlebug Mania Challenge which is "orange."

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day!

Carol

Now that's a rather sweet bee, and I like the Orange instead of yellow it adds a different take from the normal. The hexagon embossing ties everything together, cute card x
