I stamped and embossed the images on watercolor paper then covered them with masking fluid.
Using a variety of Distress Stains, I tinted the background and spritzed on some watered-down white acrylic paint.
Then I removed the mask and applied watercolor paints over the images.

On a side note, the geek in me wants to wish everyone a very special Happy Pi Day (a-pi-dae, my blog post title, get it?). This year's celebration is extra special due to the date representing the first five digits of Pi (π), 3-14-15, a confluence that won't happen again for a hundred years. To celebrate I'll be eating pie.
Apidae is the scientific naming classification for many types of bees.
