I trimmed one of the Paper Rose Bee Happy patterned papers to 4" x 5.1/4", stamped the honeycomb image from the Bee Happy stamp set with Fossilized Amber on to the paper, inked with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink. I applied Wild Honey Distress Oxide randomly on the stamp using a Simon Says Detail Round Blending Brush and re-stamped to give a slight variation in colour and repeated the pattern.
I masked off the sentiment to leave just the word Sunshine, inked with Simon Says intense Black ink and stamped on to the bottom right corner.
I die-cut the CZ Design Scripty Hello shadow from Simon Says Black cardstock and the word 3 times from Neenah Solar White, layered to create dimension and fixed to the panel using the foam squares also included in the kit.

Just when I was polishing my halo and thinking that this was probably one of the easiest cards I've ever made, I decided to use some black self adhesive pearls I've had in my stash for many moons to add bee trails and oh boy, did I come back down to earth with a bump. These itty bitty dudes were a nightmare to pick up but I gritted my teeth, powered through with the help of my Simon Says Place and Score Embellishment Wand and quickly returned them to their dusty corner probably never to see the light again.
To finish, I coloured the bee bodies with Yellow and Black Zig Clean Color Markers, used a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen to add their fluffy bums, matted the panel on to Simon Says Black cardstock trimmed to A2 and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
