It's a Bug's Life 2






How I made this card:

I started with an A2-sized kraft card blank. On top of that, I adhered a piece of burlap paper. Then I stamped Hero Arts Italian Poetry Background on the golden yellow card stock with Scattered Straw and adhered it to the burlap paper. (I think the No. 8, stamped in Vintage Photo, came from Ma Vinci's.) Next, I pounced Distress Inks Tumbled Glass, Evergreen Bough and Scattered Straw onto photo paper with stencil brushes and stamped the winged bug (100 Proof Press). I attached that to the front of the card and added photo corners. After that, I die cut Tim Holtz flower stems. I colored the leaves with Lucky Clover and Mowed Lawn and the flower with Dried Marigold using a water brush. Then, I adhered those to the card.

    That's such an unusual insect. I like how different this is to the usual butterflies and bees. Thanks for joining us at Cardz4galz. Love Dawn x

      I saw an over abundance of butterflies, so I had to pull out this stamp. This is the first time I've used it, but I have had it for a very long time. Thank you for visiting!

    Your flower is perfect as the sidekick of the winged bug - though I'm not so keen on the bug! lol Thank you for joining us at INTAAS. Hazel x

    Another fabulous entry into our Bug's Life challenge.

    I am intrigued as to what sort of bug this is, it looks like a stick insect with wings!

    Thank you for sharing with us again.

      I have no idea about what kind of bug this is, and I certainly wouldn't want to meet it! Thanks for your visit!
