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!

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!
