For the bees, I used vellum for their wings and inked black around the edges so that they would show up better against the polka dot background. To make them sparkle, I added a tiny bit of yellow Stickles to their backs. Once I added the sequins with them, I think the effect worked really well. Here's a close up:
Supplies:
Paper: Echo Park Country Drive (honeycomb); MME Breeze (polka dots)
Dies: Elizabeth Craft Designs Bees; Spellbinders Nestibilities Hexagons
Stamps: Memory Box Happy Bee-Day
Other: Avery Elle Lemonade Blend Sequins; Stickles Yellow; Doodle Twine Black; Hero Arts White Embossing Powder
