The Mix Challenge (MIX165) today is winged things & to have at least 2 different kinds of media. For my card, I used ink, Copic markers & embossing powder. And the little bees definitely have wings. I'm just glad they're only on the card..I'm so allergic to insects I have to carry an epipen!
To make my hexagons, I stamped & heat embossed using a pale yellow powder, onto black card stock. Some were embossed w/ dots, some w/ a honeycomb & some w/ stripes. They were then die cut using either the Spellbinders hexagons or the MFT honeycomb dies. The white front was die first w/ matting basic, then cut w/ a stitched rectangle & a black layer inserted between them. The greeting stamped & the other two little bees were stamped on a scrap (the right facing bee is actually a mirror image) & fussy cut. The hexagons were attached, with some of them elevated.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I like the different patterns on your hexagons and the bees are so cute as they smile. They don't smile when they come after me. I'm glad I'm not allergic. Stay safe from those bees.

It's wasps that affect me badly, but bees except on cards make me nervous because they once attacked our house when my mother was trying to do something with the hive and didn't smoke them enough to calm them - and she was pretty badly stung. But sweet ones on cards - I love, and your hexagons are so much fun.
