Here is my card for this week:


And what did I do to create this card?

I used the gorgeous image from Sugar Creek Hollow and coloured using various coloured pencils and OMS. To evoke a feeling of looking at an insect display in a Natural Science Museum, I cut three pieces of clear something or other that was part of the packing of a cleaning kit I purchased a week or two ago, and using beads as spacer, attached the 'windows' over the image. The bee's wings were coloured in various pastel shades and then crystal glitter glue was added over the top.

And that, pretty much, is all it took.

I am particularly pleased with the result, and am planning to frame this for display in my studio.
