The bee's knees

 

How can it be raining all day, but still be roasting hot?! Ah, the joys of the British Summer.

Today's card started off with a clarity honeycomb mask which I spritzed through with water and then added cosmic shimmer pixie powders. These are similar to brushos and colour bursts, but have mica powder along with the dye powder, hopefully you can see the true colour and sheen better in the second picture.

After it had dried I die cut it with Simon says stamp stitched rectangles and then stamped on it using the latest stamp set from Hunkydory in versafine ink. I stamped the sentiment on a seperate piece of card and die cut it with the free hexagon dies that came with the last issue of the Crafters Companions Inspiration magazine and mounted it on foam tape. To add a bit of texture to the 6" square Kraft card base I embossed it with the hexagon border embossing folder that also came with the Crafters Companion magazine. Job done! 

Hubby is off playing with his bees at the moment, there's new queen cells in the hives which mean that they are going to swarm soon when the weather is good and he's putting up boxes for the swarms to move into. He can then trap them in the box and move them into an empty hive, thereby increasing the amount he looks after. Rather him than me!
