Buzzy buzzy bee.....

Another ATC to show off today, with a gorgeous Stampotique bee in pride of place. Used my new Stampin' Up hexagon punch in the background as well, yippee! The bee is stamped onto a book page and then very gently coloured with Promarkers, before I stiffened the wings with glossy accents.

I spied the beads just as I thought I'd finished this, and decided to bung a few on.... whaddya know, I hadn't finished after all, it needed those beads to give it some oomph.

I'm entering this into the I love Promarkers challenge- bugs

New ATC challenge blog- first challenge is......Anything Goes!

So, the new ATC Challenge blog is up and running and the first challenge is underway. It's an easy one for the first time- anything goes! So, show us what little wonders you've been working on.

There's a fabulous DCWV paper stack up for grabs for the lucky winner, and lots of fabulous inspiration from the Design Team over on the challenge blog along with all the details and rules. Here's mine....

A big fat bee! I picked up the CArt-US stamp at the NEC show and he's fabulous. The background is a smacked acetate teachnique, and the flower stamps are all Hero Arts Real Flowers. The word is a rub on and I should really have called the ATC Scent, right? Except the bee spoke to me and it's called A Big Fat Bee......

The flowers are stamped using my Aquamarkers. I'm still unsure whether I like these or not, some of the colours are like paint, others watery and non existent. The jury's out, I might have investigate some tutorials.

Right, what are you waiting for? Show us your ATCs!
