Honey Bee....bzzzzzzzzzzzz

What a fun image to play with! I love how this turned out and think the shiny honey all over her hands and the honey pot are just super! The honey drips are super easy and I love the look! I used Ranger Glossy Accents (Paper Glaze or Crystal Affects would work fine too) and tint it with distress reinkers (any reinker would work). I then drip it on the project where I want it and let it dry over night. Too fun! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
