I started by stencilling the honeycomb background with Distress Oxide and then I die-cut the white panel with a stitched rectangle. I stamped the flowers, fussy-cut, and adhered. I stamped the bees, coloured with markers, fussy-cut, adhered, and applied Stickles to the wings. I heat-embossed the sentiment in white on a black scrap, matted onto a yellow scrap, and then adhered with foam tape.

Bee u ti ful. You knew that was coming. I love the little honeycombs. [Bunny]`
Stunning card, Kitty. I love how you've left the main image uncoloured - very effective. xx
I love the color of the yellow ink you've used. I find some yellows so bright. I love how you left the flowers uncolored. A great use of restraint - which I don't have when it comes to card making!!!!
Kitty, your bees are gorgeous. Just love your card.
Love the monochrome look of your card, the flowers look so beautiful, though they are uncolored.
Wow, really love this, the yellow and white is so nice..xx

What a beautiful card, I love all the different details of it - the bees, the honeycomb and especially those beautiful flowers which pop against the honey yellow background. Thank you for joining the STAMPlorations Spring Fling Blog Hop and Linky Party.

Wow! This is bee-utiful!!! Thanks so much for joining us at The House That Stamps Built!
What a fun card! Kitty! Love your bee theme. Just bee-utiful! Love how you used the stencil for the pop of color but left the flowers neutral. Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
That floral design left in black over the honeycombs allows your bees to really pop! I love everything about this :)
This looks fab ..... I like how you've kept the colour to the background and you main image just black and white ..... looks really cool! Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge!
so very nice card!

It is stunning how you left the flowers uncolored. I guess I'm too fussy I would have had to color them. I never think outside the box like you did. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing with STAMPlorations Stencil challenge.
Echoing the others: your card is gorgeous! Fabulous combination of images and I love that you've left the flowers *as is*! Stunning! Thank you for sharing your creativity in the STAMPlorations CAS gallery!
