CCM #239 It’s A Bugs Life

We’ve had a nice break at Crafty Cardmakers for the Summer, which looks as if it’s disappeared into the sunset in the UK! We are back today with a new challenge ‘It’s A Bug’s Life’.

My bug is a mechanical grasshopper. I have had this stamp for ages and not gotten around to stamping it yet! Mind you that’s not unusual!! The stamp is by Carmen Medlin.

I made my art journal background with Decoart fluid acrylics. and then stamped a few stamps from Art by Marlene over the background. A few of them I whited out the centres with Jane Davenport’s paint over pen in white. The sentiment, stamped and embossed in gold is also from the stamp set. I coloured my bug with Faber Castell Watercolours.

I fussy cut him out and stuck him down. He does stand out better than my photograph shows, but I think he might have looked better raised up from the background a little.

I am entering this into:-
