Freshly Made Sketches: Bee Loved

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Judy and here’s what I did with it!
 
Bee Loved

Most of the stamps and dies are from Honey Bee Stamps but I'm fairly certain they are older. The Honey Bee die set is one of my all-time favorite sets of bees so, old or not, I'll be using it.  I get a chuckle out of the one little bee flying straight at us.  The hexagons in the background and the sentiment are also Honey Bee.  The only things that aren't are the hexagons behind the bees. I found a hexagon in a Concord & 9th set that fit the bees and had stitching so it helped them stand out.  Then that still wasn't enough so I dug up an old nesting set of hexagons from Lifestyle Crafts and one of them was just perfect behind the stitched sets.  Sometimes I think get more excited over the basic stuff than the fancy new stuff - and the fact that I have two hexagon sets that work with each other - I'm giddy!!!
