Happy bee day

The current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was just what I needed to create a CAS masculine card.

I used two of Uniko's hexagon stamps (Background builders: happy hexagons) to stamp my horizontal elements using CP inks (Stone blue and Daydream). For my popped up hexagon, I mixed and matched products from Creative Dies Designs (hexagon die and bee stamp) and Avery Elle (birthday sentiment from Party Animal). I stamped the bee in Daydream and then again in Versamark, so that I could heat emboss it in clear. I had snipped off the accompanying sentiment, because it was incomplete. Because the stamp and die set had several manufacturing mishaps, it was an absolute bargain to buy, but I figured the set would still be useful. The AE sentiment was stamped in Stone blue. I created my border strip by applying Daydream ink direct to paper. I butted the strip to my stamped panel, adhering them together with double sided tape, before trimming my panel down to the desired width and mounting it to my card base.
