BUGS, FEATHERS, OR FUR..DT

 Hello everyone,

Back with another DT project and this time for " AS YOU LIKE IT "  and theme is a fun one...

BUGS, FEATHERS, OR FUR.. well, as you know I LOVE my cat, Holly, but I used cat last fortnight and made this one I'm sharing today for another DT project, but got the challenge theme wrong so had to put it aside make another etc.etc.etc..ha ha ha..so it now is here, and to be honest one of my favourite bugs..


Bees..I love Bees and to see them in my garden on my herbs
 and flowers just makes me happy..


So, after selecting papers and made a decision on the design, I was off..


Did my folds, added papers and my bees..


now I needed sunflowers..so...


I die cut them from the papers..


and it made a very interesting design on the flowers..



die cut and coloured some Bees..



added dots of Nuvo Crystal drops in the flowers centers...


and I took my time, each layer I let dry before adding more so the dots didn't run together..



and slowly filled the centers up.



glued them in place and added some Bees..


papers didn't match, but that is what I like.



Laying flat...front.




Opened up...


Standing up...


and looking down..

Gorgeous card Chrissy, love the images you used and of course the most important thing on the planet, the Bee, beautiful.
You asked about the image on my blog, well she isn't that big really and she is a stick on but I always fussy cut round as I don't like the white bit around it, wish it was a transfer but I can't find on 'there' haha.. xx
