I love the whole idea of this technique and never would have thought to do it on my own. I stencil stamped an entire background and didn't like the results, so I started over - and cheated! I masked off 7 of the hexagons on my stencil and stamped them through the stencil with a flower. Removed the mask and softly sponged it all with distress inks. Added the SS/thanks and CL/tiny wings, matted on black, then yellow and placed on white card base.

Clever idea to stamp little flowers in some of the hexagons of the honeycomb for the bee. Pretty colors throughout. Your die cut sentiment makes a bold statement.

This one goes right into favorites! I love it! The colors are awesome, it's upbeat, and most of all love the way you used that fabulous sentiment die cut on an angle! The stamping into the stencil is done so perfectly too!

OUTSTANDING! I love, love the fact that your stamping inside the stencil is limited and the remained sponged. This is just beautiful. I like the way you did the sentiment and the bee is just too cute! To my pins!
