A new challenge begins today over at Shopping Our Stash!! We hope you will join the fun and play along with our "Spread Your Wings" challenge...#SOS466. Today's first card was made for this challenge and I hope it inspires you to play along. From my stash I used a honeycomb die (Stampin Up's Honey Bee bundle) that I had cut but hadn't used as a stencil.

Fabulous card, well designed, love the fact you used the die cut as a stencil. The bee is perfect for the challenge.
