I Heard You Caught a Bug Card

Hi and welcome to my first post on this, my shiney new blog! To celebrate there's going to be posts-a-plenty this evening. I'm going to share 3 cards, 2 planner spreads and 1 journal entry to kick things off. Over the next week I'll be sharing a post about planners and planning every night. After that I'll be aiming for 1-2 posts per week and when I have time I'll post more often. 

Well, I've got lots to do so lets start things off with my first card which I made for the CASology: medicine challenge:

I love a cute image and bright colours but I tried to keep it CAS by choosing just my favourite bug from the Lawn Fawn Bugs & Kisses stamp set and trying to keep as much white space as possible. Hope you like it!

 Spotlight on stamping on acetate and creating your own sentiments.

I stamped the jar image onto clear acetate with Staz-on ink. It's difficult to capture on film but the different texture this brings to the card is lovely in real life.

I love the sentiments on the stamp set but they weren't quite what I was after for this challenge. I made my own using my vintage typewriter - I love how it turned out.

Here's a list of all the supplies I used for my card:

• Neenah Solar White cardstock
• Ranger watercolor cardstock
• Stampin' Up Real Red cardstock
• Clear Acetate
• Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Salty Ocean
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo
• Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink
• Versafine Black ink
• Ranger Lily Pad dye ink
• Lawn Fawn Bugs & Kisses stamp set
• Cutterbee scissors
• Copic Ciao markers
