021820 CKC February Challenge #2

CKC Challenge # 2 

 Master Forger Julene says: One of the inclusions in the kit was bees. Let them inspire you in some way - think bees, hives, honey, recipes, etc. If you have a bee photo scrap it. Maybe you have a honey recipe you can scrap about. Has someone been stung by a bee?

 Oh, yes - I definitely have a bee sting story. 

I got a wee bit excited about this challenge & as soon as my kit was hunted & gathered I dove right in. Sometimes you get an inspiration download directly out of your brain, right? Well, I got most of it done before I realized that I hadn't photoed my kit yet! Oops, but you'll understand why when I show you the gorgeous paper I was slicing & dicing with abandon:

*And there are bees on the "bee" side, lol!*

I've had large hexagons on my mind for some time now & since they look like beehives the design began to take shape quickly. The bees on the b-side are actually printed in a hexagon pattern. This paper has lots of hidden bees & insect images that I wanted to showcase in the hexagons. I made a fussy-cutting pattern sheet with a large hexagon that I made myself plus punched shapes.

It's hard to photograph but the background has a pale pink tinge to it & is slightly distressed.

 

Had so much fun with this one - story, products & photo - a great trifecta.

Here's what we have coming up for the rest of this month:  

• February 24th: Julene's showcase of one of the CKC community who's caught her eye this month.
• February 27th: We'll be offering another installment in our Killing Kits Series to help you find ways to use up all of your kit. 

I hope you are inspired to create something that you will "bee" happy with!
