Participating in the To Bee Or Nor to Bee Blog Hop!



Hello friends!

I'm very happy to join the To Bee or Not to Bee Blog Hop again, hosted by the wonderful Milka. There's 19 inspiring blogs to visit in this blog hop and also prizes for grabs from amazing sponsors! 

Aim of the hop is to celebrate 3rd World Bee Day, to support bees and bees protection, to raise public awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping and benefits of using apicultural products for our health.

In my card I've used a stencil by Funky Fossil Designs and bee and hi- stamp by Hero Arts. I was inspired by the Day 5 lesson in Spring Card Camp 2 at Online Card Classes when stenciling -I first chose soft browns for vintage look. I was a bit heavy handed but it does tone down the yellows and orange I used after. I did some hexagon die cutting and popped the hexagons up with fun foam. Naturally some splattering too, can't seem to live without... And then it was time to place my bees and the sequins I used for embellishments. Sorry I don't remember the maker of the friend-die!

This is how the blog hop works:

12 prizes will be given away to 12 winners.
