Good morning! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge. This week we have the colors navy, burgundy and gold.
For my card, I used the Flora and Fauna stamp set, Bee Kind. I love the happy little bees and illustrated flowers that come in this set. I could have made this card into a shaker card but decide to leave it simple and just go with a shadow box open window. To create my card, I die cut a piece of watercolor paper using a hexagon die and stamped my images and sentiment in black Palette ink. Next I used the hexagon die that was smaller than the one I originally used and I lined it up and die cut my stamped panel again creating a frame. After that, I did some watercoloring to my images, (leaving the stamped images on my frame piece black and white). On my watercolored piece, I also stamped the honeycomb image in harvest gold ink three times and sponged some of that color along all the edges. To add some dimension, I stamped the larger bee onto watercolor paper, watercolored it and die cut it using a small hexagon then added it to the panel with foam tape. I die cut a piece of enchanted evening cardstock using the hexagon die, then glued on the white frame then added foam tape to the backside and adhered it to a white card base then adhered the watercolored hexagon flat to the card right inside. To a touch of sparkle, I added some Icicle Stickles to the large bee wings and some tiny yellow rhinestones to five of the flowers.

Lynn, I love how you repeated the hexagon pattern throughout the design of your card and I can see why these bees were attracted to these pretty flowers. Thanks for letting me be a guest designer this week. It was been fun.
