It Bee a notebook!!!

As soon as I saw these cute little bee stamps I grabbed them. They've then sat in my stash unused but not unloved for what seems like forever! I finally got the chance to use them on one of those little notebooks that I've been making. I'm going to keep this book for myself  - selfish I know, but I normally give my stuff away, but can't bear to part with this one! Anyway here it is...


I painted the book with acrylic paints and then inked it with Distress Inks. I created the honeycomb effect using a piece of sequin waste. The bees were stamped using Stazon Ink, I then spritzed the whole lot with Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for stopping by today
