Layered Emb Bee Anniv/Love Card

Created this Bee themed Anniversary/Love card using mostly Tim Holtz items. I'll give this to my hubby for our anniversary this yr.

Used lots of layers. Stamped a muse studio Hexagon Background. Used TH paper distresser & TH Distress Ink on the edges. 

When I saw the TH Bee I wondered why the Bee's antennas were not part of the die but were on the embossing folder. I emailed TH and he replied telling me that he decided to not make the Bee's antennas on the die because he felt the antennas were too delicate. I think that the legs are as delicate as the antennas so I think I would have liked the die to have the antennas. What do you think?

Die cut the Bee multiple times. Embossed the Bee with TH embossing folder. Used TH Distress Ink on the Bee. Used TH Honeycomb embossing.

Used Fiskars hexagon punch for sentiment tag. Stamped Inky Antics sentiment.  Did you know that you can make a warranty claim on a Fiskars item? You submit info and a photo and Fiskars will let you know if they will mail you a replacement or no cost to you. I had Fiskars micro-tip scissors break; one blade broke off. I submitted a claim and will find out if they will mail me a replacement.

Added ribbon.
