We recently returned from vacation to find an aggressive yellow jacket nest in a high traffic area of our yard. I have serious wasp phobia and was stung. I decided to honor the much needed honey bees in this card as they are also backyard critters and much appreciated. Masked and stenciled BG and stamped flowers. Stamped and cut some bees and reverse-stamped one for contrast. Colored and added wink of stellar. TFL

Yellow jackets SUCK and I hate that they build their nests in the ground. We usually find them during lawn mowing. I have a stinging insect phobia myself but I've trained myself to be calm and cool around bees because they are our pollinator buddies. But wasps, yellow jackets and hornets are my sworn enemies!
I like this simple card design and the way the stenciled circle sets off the silhouette image!
