The Birds And The Bees For Country View Crafts

 Good morning and a very happy Thursday. A new month is always time for a new challenge at Country View Crafts, and this time it's been chosen by yours truly. As we are now into Spring, I've gone with "The Birds and the Bees"

I'm ashamed to say that these stamps have never been inked, so now seemed a very good time to remedy that. They really do stamp beautifully.

They were coloured with Distress Markers, something that I don't use as often as I should. These yellow and orange tones were perfect for this piece.
 I also added some hexagons cut from a Tim Holtz Thinlits set from some Tell The Bees paper.
Finally, I just cut the centre from the card with an octagon die, and layered it up.
I hope you join in with our fun challenge, just feature birds and/or bees as the main focus of your piece.
Take care, and thanks so much for looking x
