Start by inking part of the Bee Script stamp with Crushed Olive Distress Oxide ink. I only used the top right of the stamp, repeat until happy with your background, remembering to leave some white space. 

Tip: wipe away any sections you don’t want to use with a cloth before you stamp… 


Swipe the same ink across the honeycomb Dinkable, try to use the centre section as the edges are solid & will create splotches…  you can always wipe away any excess before spritzing a little water over the Dinkable. 
Then place inkside down onto your card cover with some copier paper & press firmly.  Give the ink time to sink in… 


Add the numbers from Art Elements 3 using a black ink, you could use Hero Arts or Archival … 


On a separate piece of paper stamp the large bee from the Bee Monarchy stamp set, add some clear embossing powder & heat set. Die cut the bee & then colour… I used the Crushed Olive & a little water. 


Cut a few random shapes out of sequin waste.. you could use a die cut that creates a similar look. 


Glue the waste to your background & add some splatters with a black Posca pen … 


Ink up the little clock face on the Scripted Bee stamp, in black, wipe away any excess ink before stamping onto a separate piece of card. Repeat twice & add clear embossing powder, heat emboss & cut out. 


Using foam pads add the 3 clock faces & the large bee.. 
Finally stamp the word ‘Bee’ three times… 


Mat & layer onto black card & then a 5”x 7” card blank .. 


Thank you for stopping by… Ann xxx
