Power Poppy Bee Hive





For the first Creative Confetti challenge this month, Barbara asked us too....

I veered away from a flower this time because I had this awesome NBUS 
Bee Kind Toile stamp set that I got with my winnings a couple of month's ago
from this challenge.  I thought a yellow bee hive would look awesome with
that ultramarine background.

I used a Zig to color the bee hive, a gold Gelly Roll pen to color the
table legs and Brusho powder with a drop or two of water to  get that
deep blue background.

I'm lovin' all the little bees in this set and I've already used them, so maybe
this isn't NBUS after all.  But the gold thin circle die was NBUS.

Oh, and the bees' wings shimmer with WOS.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

The yellow of the beehive does pop against the ultramarine background. Also love the frame and the way you have added the bees.

Your NBUS is a treasure trove of wonderful stuff! Love this beehive and yes, it absolutely pops against that rich blue. Clever idea to color the table legs with a gold jelly roll pen...I have a stash of them from scrap booking days...aha,I can use them on cards! Thanx for the idea and for sharing your amazing cards.

So bright and beautiful Bonnie and love the yellow beehive with the vibrant blue Brusho background, and the sweet little circles also in the blue with one of the pretty little bees on it too. A gorgeous card. x

Fabulous coloring of the beehive and it stands out beautifully against the blue. Love the framing and how you made the bees into little embellishments. This set has such pretty flowers in it, too, and they don't even have to be colored to look good!

So cute Bonnie, your bee hive and bees are so sweet.

Better than the wasp that stung me on the back of the hand today :(

Absolutely stunning beehive and sweet bees, Bonnie! The contrast between the brusho ultramarine and the zig yellow is so beautiful and striking. I'm the lucky one to have the stamped bees. :-) Thank you for more inspiration!
