The Details of My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

I loved this cutie and had fun colouring him with my Copic markers! In fact, I used a technique where I added some Colourless Blender to an old towel and then dab it to the coloured image. This created a textured effect that looked like fur. I just needed to make sure I didn’t over saturate the towel and press too long. Otherwise the ink might bleed out of the lines.

Once he was coloured, I used a stencil, Pool Party Ink and my Blending Brushed to create clouds around him. For the bee’s flight pattern, I used a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to make it shimmer. Then, I die cut him out with layered Stitched Dies with a Pool Party Mat.

The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was perfect for my bee theme. And I loved the bright colours! Reminded me that Spring is just around the corner!

The printed sentiment was trimmed down and matted with a Petunia Pop mat. To balance the sentiment, I added some stitched honeycomb dies in the opposite corner with another one behind the sentiment.

A finishing touch was a scattering of Mini Bee Trinkets.
