Bugs n Kisses – Vicky Wright

Bugs…

It has been awhile since my last post but hopefully I am back to posting daily for you.

This card started out as a Buckle Card, but suddenly changed half way through. I am quiet happy with the end result as it is a little different. I also wanted to showcase that “Bugs & Kisses” is not only for boys but for the girls cards too.

Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ or 14cm x 6.5cm

Using Chocolate Chip & Pretty in Pink inks, randomly stamp images onto Whisper White Cardstock

What I thought would be an easy sketch ended up challenging me. The sketch is from Cards & Things & by rights should have been a great sketch. Well try telling that to my inactive creative side of the brain. I think we had a bit of a sleepy day!

Anyhow, after some deliberation & toing & froing, I decided on a card for the girls. I haven’t made that many lately & they always come in handy for the unexpected birhday.

Instead of placing circle on cirle, I placed the Very Vanilla Circle off-centre to the Pumpkin Pie Circle, giving it a little bit of a different look. I am quiet happy with the look. I flipped the card somewhat and come up with the following card –

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Bugs & Kisses

Inks – Rose Red

Cardstock – Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Very Vanilla

DSP – Sweet & Sour Speciality

Bigshot Dies – Circles # 2

Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Basic Pearls

Until next time, Enjoy!

Bugs, Bugs & Bugs…

Layer 4 – 4 x 1 3/8″
Layer 5 – 2.25 x 3.25″

I made this card sometime ago for a birthday, so some of the colours used will now be retired by Stampin’ Up!®. Although there is nothing to say that the colours can’t be replaced! This stamp set is as it says “Cute as a Bug”.
