Sally CT - Bee Tag

Hi There! Thought I would show you how I made this mdf tag for Bee Monarchy day. 

I began by painting the MDF tag using acrylic paints. Some of these were shimmer/metallic and some were not. I painted them onto the tag blending the edges.  

Next I used black gesso through the full honeycomb inkable and added a little more around the edges.

Once this was dry I added some stamping using the crowns and honeycomb stamps from the bee Monarchy set using a brown versafine Clair ink.

on a scrap piece of card I stamped the bee 3 times with versafine clair black ink. I coloured them with ecoline pens and cut them out using the die set. 

I stamped a sentiment from the small words set and added that and the bees to the tag using ultra thick gel medium. 

Here is the finished tag with a little yellow ribbon though. 

I used:
