Busy Bee




Over at Stampotique this week they are asking for some transparency!!  Hmmm....so what to do then??

Also over at Anything But A Card this week they are asking for us to dust off our old supplies???

So I came up with this to combine the two challenges.  Acetate, stamps and paint I've used recently, but I haven't used 2" Ranger memory glass and my Sizzix frame die for absolutely yonks.

I painted the chipboard frames in haystack fresco paint as a base layer, then again in zesty zing for a brighter yellow.  I used T!m's hexagon background stamp coz I thought it represented bee hives.  I originally stamped the bee onto the glass, but when I came to colour it in, all the black stazon ink came off.  So I stamped onto a piece of acetate instead and coloured that, but still used the glass, sandwiched it with the acetate inside the chipboard frames and added a piece of fibre so I could hang it.
