Created this Card using Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge for the Beehive. Stamped with a Chicken Wire stamp that I refer to more as a Honeycomb stamp since it has a Hexagon pattern that Honeycombs have. Used Spellbinders Octagon (closest match to a Hexagon) die cuts for tag. Used K Andrew Designs Winged Things stamp set to stamp a Bee on opening of Beehive & on the Honeycomb stamped layer and for the sentiment I put together two parts 'Bee' & '-utiful' to get 'Bee-utiful.' Added black & yellow ribbon.
Photographed with a cute Boyd's Bear of mine
named "Bee Happy."
