Hello Friends - thanks so much for dropping by!! I have a very quick and easy card to share with you today using the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Bugs Etched Dies. How fabulous are these creepy crawlies and so much fun to create with - how could I resist!?
I have to say that my DH is not a fan of cockroaches and was not as thrilled with this card as I am LOL! My son said it looks like a cross between Christmas and Halloween LOL! Regardless of all that I love them and have to say - they are my insects around the card - for staging of course! Wink:wink!
I have cut/embossed the DCWV patterned paper using the largest Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges Card Creator Etched Dies using the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and lightly sanded around the edges using a Sanding Block.
The Bugs have been cut/embossed using the Bugs Etched Dies and four different colour card stock - a great way to use those scraps. I have set them out and once happy with the layout they have been glued to the card front, The sentiment has been created using stickers from my stash - Authentique Paper from memory. This has been layered onto red card stock and adhered using double sided tape. The card front has been popped up onto the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares for that little bit of dimension. I told you it was easy - didn't I!?!
