May at Stamping Sensations

Time for another challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we are sponsored by the amazing Chocolate Baroque.
A fantastic prize of  2 Stamp Sets (pic on the challenge blog)  awaits our lucky entrant who receives the most votes from the DT this month!
But if you want to even be considered you MUST follow our rules! Please read the rules before you join us - we want to be fair to everybody.

Our theme is - 'In an English Country Garden'... for those of you who aren't familiar with the song, the lyrics are available if you google the title - and it lists lots of things that you can use as a basis for your project!

I used a stamp set from our sponsors called 'Honey Bee' and stamped onto watercolour card.
I really enjoyed colouring this (even though I am a little scared of bees as I get a nasty reaction if ever I am stung!) but they ARE clever little things and we need them!

I used a Honeycomb embossing folder and cut out a circle to frame the image.
Finished by adding some cord, a fussy cut bee and a few punched hexagons.

Thanks for looking today and we all look forward to having you join us this month!
