I drew the flowers and 3 bees onto white card, coloured them with watercolour paints then filled in between with a black pen. I went round the edge with a gold Krylon pen
The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set stamped onto a piece of torn parchment paper held on with two brads and stuck at the back then backed with the ATC card.
I used to paint and kiln fire plates in this style when china painting was my main hobby. Each plate was numbered and I made a total of 23. Every one was different. Each plate had three bees somewhere on it as they hold a special significance for me.
I would like to enter this ATC into the following challenges:-
Crafting from the Heart #72
Wednesdays Creative Inspiration Challenge #323
Creative Fingers Challenge #89
