I have an affinity with bees, gotten as a child from my granddad who was a beekeeper. He used to tell stories about the bees, and lectured about bees at the local Agricultural College. They are so importaant to human survival. For a great read, find the novel: "Remember Me" by Charity Norman to see how amazing they are.
The background is smooshed DI's misted with perfect pearls. The sentiment stamp is a magazine freebee gold embossed. The panel is diecut and matted onto copper metallic card. A dot of Ranger Stickles on the layered diecut bee, popped up on dimensional foam.

Such a clever card, loving your background and the web. Thanks for sharing with us at Alphabet Challenges for Insects. Caz. DT.
What a wonderful bee-inspired card! I love the warm colours you've chosen for your project, it could be only me, but I think they look like sunshine through a glass of honey. The bee motif against the honeycombs in the background is just perfect, and I like how you managed to incorporate a bit of family history into your crafting. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge and sorry for the belated visit.
Hugs, Veronika
