This card salutes the noble bug! I love this paper! The challenge is one of many at Operation Write Home (OWH) right now, to celebrate its birthday. The virtual cardmaking party right now has many challenges, and this is only one of them: “Celebrating Nature.” Many of my cards celebrate naturel, so this was a fun challenge to participate in. Thanks for the visit!

- Stamps – Rubber Soul “Happy Birthday,” Basic Grey “Insignia stamp set”

I created the background for this card with Colorbox Chalk inks direct to paper and then went in with a starburst stamp (manufacturer unknown) and stamped over the inked layer. This is an extremely simple card, using the CPS Sketch #230. With such a “busy” background, I decided to keep it simple! Thank you for visiting.
