ZBC11H8: I am finally caught up on the alphabet challenge! This week the letter is H with a double challenge of a Halloween card, no double for me. My h's are hexagons, honeycomb, honeybee, happy, horizontal, and Highland Heather ink.
F4A479: The challenge was to draw a simply line background. Hopefully it is OK to have more than just the lines, as I also have the honeycomb in the background.
I started by sponging Daffodil Delight on the background through the honeycomb stencil. I followed that with painting Mango Melody horizontal lines on part of the background. I set this aside to dry.
I stamped my flower, bud, and leaves using the stamp-a-ma-jig for the two step stamping. I also stamped the honeybee and colored with Copic markers, and fussy cut.
I adhered the flowers and leaves to the background and then determined where I wanted the bee. I used this technique from Jennifer McGuire to make the bee into a floating element on the card: https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2...ng-images.html My bee doesn't move a lot, but it is mobile.
I added sparkle to the bee's wings and the flowers. I don't have any card stock to match these new purples so went direct to paper to create a faux purple card base. The entire panel is popped up with foam tape.
Thanks for looking!

Beautiful card, Catherine! Love the colors and the fabulous rose. I have that stamp set, too. You have inspired me to find it. Love the background with the honeycomb and the stripes. Well done! TFS

I love this card Catherine. I love the honey comb you stenciled onto the background and these wonderful stripes that all highlight your gorgeous purple bloom here. You did a fantastic job with your 2-step stamping and I would say this sweet little bee agrees! ~Karen.
