Another Coneflower!

 A quick little post with another Honey Bee Coneflower where I've used patterned paper for a few of the layers... first a closeup of that little Colorado Craft Co. bee:


A tip: always test your inks to see if they can accept even the smallest amount of water...
you'll easily notice how I learned this lesson on his wings! 
I don't think it ruined my card one bit... 

These papers are so wonderful - from HoneyBee's Bee Bliss - also used on my Doodlebugs Friday card last week.  A very old Cuttlebug EF came out to play today, as did another sentiment from My Favorite Flower sentiments.

I got through Monday unscathed - bring on the rest of the week!  [oh that might have been tempting fate, eep!]

    I think his wings looks just right, not ruined at all! I loved your sweet patterned Coneflower the other day, but this crisp white one is extra pretty!

    I love this coneflower in a honeycomb setting, Michele!
    Using the brown honeycomb patterned paper for the center of the flower and the hexagon panel is a brilliant idea! The little bee is so cute and makes me smile!

    Oh, I really LOVE this card, Michele! I love how you clustered the elements and your embossed background is perfect ~ I think you are the 'Queen' of embossing! Your impressions are always so striking! xx
