Patchwork Little Wooden Bees Birthday Card
This card measures 5ins x 5ins and is made using a hand cut blank in a ribbed effect Kraft card.
I couldn’t resist these little wooden bees that I found on e-bay and straight away thought they would marry up really well with papers from CraftWork Cards Country Charms 6” x 6” paper pad.
I started off doing the mat and layering using a contrasting grey/green paper and silver mirror card.
I hadn’t originally planned using the tags, but when I spotted them in my box and started to experiment, they went really well, filling some of the empty space subtly.
The honeycomb pattern of the paper was almost made for the bees, the proportions perfect! 
The final touches came from a little faux stitching using a black fine liner pen round the edges of the contrasting matting, and the bows, made using the rustic style string that came with the tags which were glued over the eyelets of the tags.
