This time over at Double D we are playing with BUGS!! Here is the wonderful Mood Board provided for our inspiration:
And here's my card:
I have had this Stampin' Up Beetles and Bugs stamp set for awhile. Don't ask my why I wanted it, I just like it. It's a multi-step set so you can do several colors. I stamped the images on some vintage-look patterned paper, cut them out with my circle punches and then applied several layers of Baked Textures Vintage Bees Wax embossing powder. I love the way they turned out. The background is Distress Oxides smooshed, and then I applied some gold Ultra High Texture embossing powder. I also used some Baked Textures Ancient Amber embossing powder for the circles in the lower left corner.
Here are the Ingredients:
SU Island Indigo Card Stock
Nina Neutrals Card Stock
Distress Oxides and GKD Inks
SU Beetles and Bugs Stamp Set
SU Playful Backgrounds Stamp Set
DCWV Preserved Papers Patterned Paper
WOW Ultra High Metalic Gold Embossing Powder
Baked Textures Ancient Amber Embossing Powder
Baked Textures Vintage Bees Wax Embossing Powder
Stash Ribbon
I would love it if you would stop on over to the Double D Blog to see what the other designers have created. And if you play along you
could win this assortment of butterfly, ladybug and insect stickers for card making. How FUN!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThere you go using things I have never heard of .... again. Bees Wax EP. High Metalic Gold EP . Then you creat a gorgeous card and I think I need everything you used. Love this card.
ReplyDeleteWowzer! These realistic bugs look like they are on a pond of water. Love that background and it looks like a lot of work. All of these exotic ingredients that you used. Never hear of them. They sure make a great and unique card.
ReplyDeleteI must say I quite love this, who knew beetles and bugs could be os lovely?!?! The colors are spectacular and I love the Vintage paper. Your background is fabulous, the embossing powder looks amazing and very rustic, I love the 'bubbles' too. This doesn't even creep me out LOL
ReplyDeleteYou've proved even bugs can be pretty! The background is pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteLove the jewel colours you have used for your bugs, gorgeous card, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteFor being bugs they look pretty darn good, Judy. I'm curious about the Bees Wax embossing powder. It gave a great look to the circles.
