Bugs-N-Kisses

Hello Crafty Friends…

It’s a new month and there is a new challenge over at Pink and Main Challenges!

We are currently on Challenge #18 for the month of February and this month’s theme is…

LOVE!

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I decided to make an adorable

adorable “Bugs N Kisses” card. It will be flying it’s way to a dear friend really soon!!

For my card I used a oldie but goodie, and Pink and Main Favorite, called…

Bugs N Kisses

I also used the following Pink and Main products to build my card…

Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies

Stitched Rounded Squares Dies

Stitched Greetings Dies

I stamped my image using an archival black ink onto Mixed Media paper. Then used a combination of alcohol markers and color pencils to color in my image.

I cut pink patterned paper into a 6″x 12″ piece of paper, then folded it in half to make a 6″x 6″ card. I die cut my folded card with the largest stitched rounded squares die to create the card base.

With the same stitched rounded square die, I die cut the black patterned paper and cut it at 1-1/2 tall. Then attached it to the card base using tape runner adhesive.

Then, I attached grosgrain ribbon along the top of the black patterned paper and trimmed off the excess.

I trimmed down my image using the second largest Stitched Rounded Rectangle die and attached foam adhesive square to the back and mounted it onto my card, over the ribbon.

 I used more grosgrain ribbon to make a bow and I trimmed it to give them “dove tail” ends. Then attached it to my card with clear adhesive.

I stamped “hugs N kisses” with more black ink. Then, I used more foam adhesive to prop up my “ticket”.

Lastly, I attach little rhinestone flowers and added a little sparkle over the little cuties’ butterfly tummy and heart on her wings.

And here is my finished card…

I think it turned out sweet enough to make any friend’s heart flutter.

Hope you all enjoyed this quick tutorial!

Until next time… Happy Crafting!!
