Layers upon layers for the BEES

Sometimes when I do a challenge I wish I had done something else... so I sat down and started to do another challenge piece for the CC3 #4 challenge...   All the details are there for you to look at, if you missed my first piece...  

anyway... this piece I really let loose with and had a blast making it...  I have been on a roll this week... inbetween classes, and household and farm chores... I have gotten a lot of playing done... still have some more postings...  but this one was fun to create... 

Here it is...  

 
Please click on the pictures to make them larger... thanks...
 
I call this one DISCOVER... as I discovered a lot of fun things while creating this one... 
 
I made my own stencil using one of Tim's die cuts... love doing that... and the outcome I really love...  Of course I had to let it dry over night...
 
Wait...
 
WAIT....
 
WAIT... I am trying to be patient... 
 
Then I started to layer all the goodies... and then I used some gesso and had to wait...
 
And WAIT.... And wait some more... until it was all dry... 
 
FINALLY I started to play... 

 
using inks to high light areas, and also to color areas that I wanted to make pop...  used a distress pen to go around the flowers... and then started to free hand the large one...  I was really going wild... having fun too... 

 
I had gotten in making some pretty envelopes... and put a couple of them on the side... and slipped in a few tags...  attached a Number 2...  for the feeling...
 
DISCOVER TWO WRITE...  thus the pen nib in the butterfly... 
 
 

 
This was suppose to be all about the BEES... so I will show you a few of the bees too... we must protect our bees in all ways... as much as we can.... don't use chemicals on your plants... and also make sure that where you buy your plants they don't use chemicals...  you know you might think...
 
 "Oh I am just going to buy a few....ir won't hurt anything... and no on will know... "
 
 well those few could wipe out a WHOLE colony of bees... that is how serious this is...  after all the bees go... guess what... we are next...  not a threat... just the truth...  sad to say...  be loving to all bees..  I love you for that... that is for sure..   

 
My Queen bee is on the hive... and she is all glittery with distress glitter....  love it...  so very much fun... 
 
 
 
 
So here is Discover.... 
Which I just discovered another wonderful place to do challenges...  it is called A VINTAGE JOURNEY...  and I have entered this in there too... check it out... some really GREAT pieces of work.
 
Thanks for stopping by... and please go to CC# and see all the other entries... and also if you are into playing... join in on the fun... we would all love to have you over there...
 
thanks for stopping by today... and see you tomorrow with more goodies... 
 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
