Frosted Designs are really helping me to fulfill my man cards and their Fabulous Friday Challenge - Hexagons! is one of them. Hexagons make me think of bees, no matter how you color it or arrange them, I still think of honeycomb paper...and guess what? I happen to have some! lol I played up on the Birthday abbreviation....
Then all the altered art I have been doing is now slowly creeping into my everyday cards...First I inked the edges of the bee paper, but still thought it was too plain...so I laid a hexagon stencil on top of the honey comb pattern and sprayed it with my Angel Mist and tipped the paper to create the runs. ( does that sound as bad as I think it does?, lol ) Then, when that dried I laid some netting over that and pushed my ink pad into it for another layer of hexagon impressions! )
I love the bee I cut out from the Art Nouveau cartridge, the base of the wings I cut from a pattern vellum, his body is pop dotted up, I used stickles for his eyes and colored in the black bands of his body and then used Glossy Accents over that.

Somehow I didn't realize you enjoyed making cards but as I've caught up on your last few posts, I see that's one of your main interests. I try to always make my own cards too and find it very rewarding (usually).
A friend and I are going to a stamping/card making workshop in June and I can't wait to replenish my stock. Wish you were closer so you could join us...
Great job, I love that bee! Thanks for playing along with us at Frosted Designs!
