Bee Inspired ~ Giving Thanks ~ Double D

Good morning friends~  There's a new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges and we want you to "Bee Inspired".  


Here's what  I came up with for the challenge:
I used some older sets for today's card, pulling out things that haven't been used in quite some time.  

Starting with the Hexagon Cover Plate from PTI.  I cut both solid and printed yellow paper and trimmed off the hexagons I didn't want, to give it the look of random honey comb.  The bees are incredibly old dies from Quickutz and the flowers are from PTI.  

Here's the prize that's up for grabs when you play along:

I do hope you'll come join us by clicking here.

Thanks for stopping by!

There is some satisfaction on using an old stamp and have it turn out a card like this one. I am really impressed with the outcome. I used an old never before used stamp too.

Lovely, Birgit! I have that PTI hexagon and have never thought to adjust the size. The dotted paper looks awesome as a filler. And those bees are so cute.

This is so stinkin' cute. I love the patterned paper inlay on some of the hexes. Really makes the whole thing pop. And those little bees are so whimsical, just adorable card.
