Today I have a tag inspired by the hexagon shape. What else to team it up with, but bees...
I first built up the background with Distress Oxides in Salty Ocean and Salvaged patina, spraying with a pearlescent Cosmic shimmer colour instead of water to give a subtle shine (can't be seen see in the picture!).
The large hexagons were inked through a stencil die-cut with the Papertrey Ink Hexagons Cover plate and I overstamped some of them with a coordinating stamp set (Happy Hexagons). The smaller hexagons are from a small Docrafts set.
The flower, bee definition and bees were stamped and die-cuts with the Sunflower Bee stamp and die sets by Julie Hickey Designs. I die-cut the black honeycomb with the same set.
