I have been so busy in my garden, up the allotment , and house-wifey things that this is the first time I have had to spend a bit of time in my studio - getting inky
Wild honey distress ink - stamped and painted on with a brush. front and back of card
Flicked water all over it - artistically of course and shaded.
Stamped and painted the queen bee, and did the same with her worker bees.
Dustings of golden pollen here and there and a gold crown (gold stickles)- shame it doesn't show up in the photos.
I interfaced the inside of the card with paper for the message and will add a yellow ribbon to keep it in place. I will probably stamp a bee or two inside too.
This will be going to Japan with a jar of Norfolk Honey and Honeycomb.
