It's a tic-tac-toe board at CAS-ual Fridays this week, and participants get to choose their favorite rows to work with. I chose the middle vertical row: polka dots, kraft, and orange.
A local beekeeper generously gave me some beeswax recently, and my two Girl Scout troops melted it down and hand-dipped beautiful beeswax candles. I wanted to make a special thank you card for him. It was a bit tricky to make a masculine card using flowers and bees, and I wouldn't normally do such a thing. However, seeing as Henri is a beekeeper and I was thanking him for beeswax, I felt the flowers and bees would be appropriate.
I used kraft card stock and a piece of fairly rustic polka dotted orange paper from my scrap bin to paper piece the flower. The stem is also paper pieced using a scrap of dark green polka dotted paper. Frankly, the bee is just too darn cute to be masculine, but how could I leave her off? :)

Together with the notes my Girl Scouts made for Henri, I think this will be quite a nice thank you for a special gift. Thanks for visiting today!
