I loved putting this card together. I totally forgot that I had this stamp set that matched the punch, and I was thrilled when I saw them hiding in my cabinet. LOL
I stamped the bee with archival black ink, so I couldn't use Copic markers to fill in the bee body. I squooshed out some Honey distress ink onto my craft mat and colored it in with a watercolor brush.
For the yellow matting between the hexagons and the black card base, I used the same Honey distress ink direct to paper to color some white paper. Of all the cards I made for Day 1 of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges this year, this one is my favorite. :-)

Oh, I love this! It actually reminds me of a quilt my Granny made for my parents. The bee is super cute and so well shaded! Thank you so much for playing along with my challenge and for supporting Splitcoast as a Fan Club Member - and just for all you do!
