Hello, crafty friends!! I’m back today with another sneak peek for the Hello Summer Release from Honey Bee!!

My card today features the new BEEkini Season Free Bee!! This adorable stamp set can be yours with a purchase of $75 and you can also get the coordinating die set for spending $100!!! (Links to the goodies from the new release will not be active until they go on sale at midnight on July 5th.)

I stamped the Beekini Season Bee onto white cardstock with Momento Tixedo Black Ink and colored her with Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment onto a piece of pink polka-dot patterned paper from the Hot Tropics Paper Pad. Do you see that adorable bikini?!? It is included in the die set!!! I die-cut the bikini from the pink polka-dot paper, the bee and the sentiment with the coordinating dies.

I also die-cut a frame from the pink polka-dot paper using the largest of the Scallop A2 Card Frames Honey Cuts. A piece of patterned paper from the Beach Vibes Paper Pad made the perfect background for my beach-loving bee.

The bee was added to the background with an action wobbler, while the sentiment was popped up with foam tape. A few Pretty Poppy Clay Flowers add a little more color to the background. I added some sparkle to the bikini with a shimmer pen and a little shine to the eyes with a black glaze and white gel pen.

That’s it for day 2!! Be sure to head over to the Honey Bee Blog for more inspiration and sneak peeks!!

Have a great day!!!!
