Hello lovely crafters.
It was never my intention to create a Valentine's card for insects. It just evolved, as these things do.
But hey, the insects need our help. There has been a 75% decline in insect populations and they need us to stop using sprays in our gardens, grow more flowers and live and let live. I have plenty more to say about insects but I'll stop there. ♥
We have a new challenge at Shopping our Stash:
SOS 463: My Heart BEETS for You!
I'm sure I've seen a card with heart stamps for flowers, but I have no idea where, so that is where this started. I masked and inked the sky and grass and then stamped on stems topped with heart flowers. The insects came next and then the greeting using peg letter stamps.
A border of flowers and leaves to brighten it up and Voila! A one layer card.
I've used quite a collection of stamps from lots of different sets. The heart is Inky Doodles. Woodware flower and insects. Stems - Inkylicious.
Thank you for visiting, enjoy your day. x
oh wow... this is a beauty and so uniquely awesome. love the idea of a valentine for insects and the heart flowers, blended sky, sweet frame and population of cute bugs all add up to something incredibly cool! ♥
