The Bee topper is made from using both the outer and inner die from Lisa Horton's Slimline Bee-autiful Panel set which I cut out from Lynda Chapman's Black Card which I had first of all added to some of Wild Spider Self adhesive sheet to make it easier to stick on to the Yupo Paper. Once cut out, I removed the backing sheet and attached it to the background and trimmed it to leave a narrow border around it which I then rounded the corners with my Hunkydory Prism punch (definitely my most favourite effect at the moment!). I then ...
