I started out by stamping all the little bugs in the set and their coordinating body extras in tuxedo black ink and then used my Stampin' Blends to color each one of them. Once I had them colored I used the matching dies to cut them out. Then I stamped the little ice cream and colored it; and thought that I could use those in the background as clouds as well. I used a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and then stamped the ice cream in the sky to use as clouds. I colored them in using my white watercolor pencil from Stampin' Up! so that I had just a little color in them. And I thought that worked great.
I then used the grass and leaf dies from the matching die set and cut out leaves in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green cardstock. The grass I cut out in Granny Apple Green Cardstock and some of the Gingham Designer Series Paper from the Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I added the leaves and added the alternating color veins in each leaf. That was no extra cutting since they cut out at the same time as when I ran them through. I then added those to the card front. I attached the sky card front to a piece of Whisper White (5 3/8 x 4 1/8) and then added each of the stamped and colored little bugs.
I did add a few dimensionals behind two of the grass layers so that I could add the bugs standing in the grasses. This added a little more interest to the card. I did heat emboss the sentiment in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. This was an after thought and should have done this before I stuck everything down but it worked out just fine. As I mentioned this was a super fun card and was so much fun to do.
If you have been on the fence with this set I am just going to say differently go ahead and pick it up it was so much fun to create such a fun whimsical card. Plus it creates such a great Summer time projects. You can pick up the stamp set and die set either separate or currently as a cost saving bundle in my online store. You will find all the supplies that I used in the Shopping list below.
Thanks for dropping by today, and I hope that you have a great day.
Happy Stampin'
