I was delighted when Polly chose this theme because while I have good supply of bee stamps to draw on, I had actually just pulled this stamp out to make DH's birthday card. Image stamped on white card and coloured with pencils, Stickles accents. I matted it onto a black circle which I'd dotted with white. I used assorted yellows to sponge the embossed panels for the background. Because of the large card size, I had to use two embossed panels, hence the strategic use of the MFT chevrons to cover the break ;-). I added a decorative music die and used a black base. DH loved it - and oddly, my sister sent him a bee card too!

This is wonderful! Love all the little details (the bee is wearing spats!!) and the background is fab. The sparkle on the wings is the perfect finishing touch.

Everything about this is so darling! That image is perfect for your DH and the die cut musical staff and notes couldn't be better! Well done on piecing the 2 embossed bg panels.

Well, wouldn't you just know there would be a bee playing a saxaphone! With white spats on his feet too! Wonderful musical die and honeycomb background!

Fun card! I like that BG idea for a bee card!
I have to say this bee is much nicer in person than I imagined it looking at the stamp! Likely your sweet coloring and fun add ons like the glitter wings.
