May Bee

 Bugs and Bees in May - entomology panel shabby style

Panel

Gathered some stamped ephemera, cut some honeycomb, stamped the bees and cut them up, inked the edges of the bits I wanted to use, picked out some snippets I could probably use when collaging it together.

Tested out my composition on a plain panel.

Blended Gathered Twigs around the edges of the panel, and used it with stencils. 

Used Pumice Stone to create some light text stamping to add some interest.

Put composition together.
