Congratulations to the Ways to Use It Challenge! 600 is a lotta of using up what we have, right? I am using an ancient PSX stamp gifted to me years ago, the stenciled bg built with molding paste and colored and colored with rubbing on distress inks. The hexagonal pattern is rather comforting to me.
I've been meditating on the Proverb "Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul". Our souls cry out for words that nurture those tender spots we hide from the light of day. I've watched the pollinators in my garden all this season, flirting to and fro, drinking deep the nectar that feeds the hive. And I think of how just one smile, one loving embrace, one tender word can refresh a weary spirit. I am blessed indeed to have pollinators in my life.
and I wish for you much honey too!

You have beautifully highlighted the verse with this lovely card!! I think the honeycomb pattern looks terrific and with its symmetrical features can bring calm to the mind and spirit! Love the use of gold!

Your background is stunning, I love the old PSX image (I miss that stamp company!), and your words were very inspiring to me today. Thank you for sharing your artistry and your beautiful thoughts.
