It's FRIDAY!!!! WHOO HOO!!! It's been a very long week and today will be a great day! NO SCHOOL! We are going to have a fun day...maybe a quick breakfast out (depending on when the kids FINALLY get up!), friends over, Easter decorating and just some fun down time! I can't wait!
This is a stamp set that I had to dust off, but am I ever glad that I did! This card took some time to make as I was a bit retentive with some of my bugs and the photo doesn't do it justice. The dragonfly has shimmer paint on it's wings and I cut a second set out and popped them up so it looks like he's flying. The grasshopper was coloured with markers then stamped so I could get the two tones on him. I stamped him once on the Whisper White cardstock and once off, cut out the back and then attached him so he's poking through the "u".
For the snail, I stamped it in Rose Red on the card. Then I stamped it again in Pretty In Pink, cut it out and then popped up the different levels of the shell to different heights to make it look like it's popping out at you.
It's tough to see but there's a little ant in the "e". The greeting was punched out of the greeting in the set and mounted on the flowers. To create the grass, I simply masked off the rest of the card, sponged it in Certainly Celery and Old Olive and then splattered it with a bit of Wild Wasabi. For the sky, I used the top of the cupcake punch, "dottoed" them to the card front (temporary adhesive) and the sponged around them in Bashful Blue and splattered the sky with Marina Mist.
I hope you like today's little creation! Enjoy the day....here's hoping Mr. Sun comes for another visit today!!!
Take care,
Heather
