Next I stamped the adorable large bee in black ink onto the card front as well as on a separate piece of mixed media paper. This stamp is called "bee mine" from Stamping Bella. I fussy-cut the bee from the separate piece of mixed media paper before watercolouring with distress markers. I added clear Wink of Stella to give sparkle to the wings and crystal glaze to the bee's nose. To finish, I glued the watercoloured bee over top of my stamped card front.

Oh dear, this is just too cute for words. The blending and coloring is wonderful. Love me some honeycombs and bees so this one really makes me smile.
Such a fun idea to stamp the little bees through the stencil and what a super cute card Loll x. The large bee is adorable x.
This is excellent, I love the bright yellow and those bees. I really struggled with this one and yet I never even thought of finding a tiny stamp that would fit through the stencil! I know I can be a bit slow sometimes, but thanks for having the thought for me. I am going to give it a go as my reminder card is still waiting to be made xx
This is such a cutie Loll, the colouring is so fab and your stamping is immaculate!
Thanks so much for inviting me to join the DT of CAS Mix Up... it's a real privilege!
