I'm playing along with the Hexagons: Happy For Hexagons Challenge at Moxie Fab World.
I picked up a Heidi Swapp stencil the other day that is meant to be paired with some color mists, but I used it to trace some hexagons.
I created a bee hive on a card and this is what it looks like
I wanted them to have that hand drawn look, so I pulled out a Copic pen to trace the hexagons and then I added color with my Copic markers. I wanted one of the hexagons to stand out so I used atyou Spica glitter pens and some dimensional adhesive (for a 3D look). And of course I had to add a bee, thanks to some SRM Stickers.
Here's a close-up of the the extra special hexagon.
I used my black Memento marker (Tsukineko) to create the "bee-utiful" using a Scenic Route clear stamp that was spelled the correct way.
The "You" is from a Lawn Fawn clear stamp
If you look closely at the letters, you might see some sparkle. I traced over the letters with a glitter pen.
I put a lot of work into this card, but I would do it again in a heartbeat because I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by!
