EIC 77, inspired by bees



Seems like it's been ages since I had a chance to do the Etsy Inspired Challenge. For EIC77, this week's shop is United Thread, which sells original prints. I was inspired by a piece called Bees and Dandelion.

The flower from Autum Leaves is black embossed on Cosmo Cricket paper. The bee wings are covered with gold microbeads (source of sentiment unknown). I also added a row of microbeads under the strip of ribbon in the corner -- I bought these beads several months ago, and just started using them; what fun they are.
