Craft Consortium Tell the Bees hanging decoration

For this weeks project for The Fruit Pixie, who I design for,  I have made a hexagonal hanging decoration using the beautiful Craft Consortium's Tell the Bees paper kit.

The decoration itself is a file I cut using my Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine but there are all kinds of decorations available to decorate.

 

I used the script paper from the paper pad to make the actual decoration.

 

I used a tiny part of one of the papers to collage the bee hives into the centre of the decoration. 

 

I then used a few of the wonderful sequins to add a little shine to the collage.

 

The little bees around the outside are also from one of the papers, you get a huge amount of bees on one sheet of paper!

 

On the other side of the decoration I stamped the hexagonal stamp a couple of times on the background. This is very easy to do as the stamps are clear, so you can see where you are stamping. I stamped this using the Distress ink Tea Dye.

 

I added some of the little bees that I had cut from the paper. I raised them up on 3d foam. Of course I had to use some of the sequins to add a bit of sparkle.

 

I also added a sequin or two around the outside of the decoration to catch the light.

 

This is such a cute little decoration. You can find all that I used in the shop
