Bee-utiful Background

Posted on March 25, 2009 by kth

Today is PTI’s monthly blog hop. I’m sure I’m coming late to the party, but, I loved the challenge and needed to get this idea on paper! To view more of the blog hop entries, stop by the PTI forum. This month’s hop challenge is to create backgrounds – either using stamps made for creating backgrounds, or re-purposing other stamps.

I chose to use the Honey Bees set from PTI for my card. I used the honeycomb stamp to create my flower background. It isn’t much of a stretch, but I like how this turned out. I used a Mojo sketch (mojo78) for the layout.

Bee Happy

All supplies Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

Stamps: Honey Bees;
Ink: Lavendar Moon, Lemon Twist, Melon Berry, Spring Moss;
Paper: Plum Pudding, White, Lemon Twist, Guidelines pattern;
Other: Lavendar twill ribbon, dimensionals;
