Basically, Bee Happy

Morning all.  Time for a new challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond. This week we want you all to use a spray somewhere on your project.  I will admit to being a little bit daunted by this as it's  not something I do.  In fact, the only spray I have is a solution for H2o's that is supposed to be better than using water.  To be fair, it hadn't seen the light of day for years.  Anyway, I debated whether to watercolour a background but couldn't decide on anything.  In the end I used some spiced marmalade and squeezed lemon distress inks to sponge a background and then spritzed it with my spray.  Once it had dried I was surprised to find how nice it looked.  It gave a little texture to my flat ink.  

To make my card I cut the inked paper into little hexagons and stamped a bee stamp on what was left.  I have no idea who's the stamp is as it came to me in a bag of stuff from a friend.  I've stuck the lot together on a card that I had covered with a scrap of grey backing paper and stamped my sentiment on another scrap of inked card.

I did add a little spectrum noir glitter pen to the wings.  It's just a pity you can't see it sparkle.  It's one of those cards that I keep looking at.  It's growing on me.

Please pop over and join the fun.  We have suffered a little with entries recently due to the changes with the link tool.  It should have been sorted this time.  Besides, I need to see your inspiration so I can convince myself to invest in some different sprays.

Thanks for reading.
