The challenge this week is touse a bug on your card — and I will be liberal in the interpretation of a bug — butterflies and dragonflies will count — or any kind of animal or thing that *bugs* you — LOL. Just run with it, have fun and, as always, try to keep it simple!!

I used the newly released Lilac set by Flourishesbecause this set has two adorable bugs with it — this elegant looking grasshopper (LOL!!!) and an adorable ladybug!!! How fun!!! Everything was stamped in black and colored with Copics, shown below.

I accented all of the little lilac petals withmy Clear Stardust Pen, and they shimmer so nicely IRL, but I could not pick that up in the photo — so sorry!!! I couldn’t even get it to show up on the close-up below.

This card measures 6 1/2″ x 3 3/8″ and is made to fit the small SU open end envelopes — a fun size for a change!!! The grasshopper was cut and embossed with the Circle Nestabilitiesand the ribbon is the fun new Apple Green Sheerby May Arts — it also comes in a lot of other fun colors!!! I punched two holes with my eyelet setter and hammer to run the sheer ribbon through.
