Lacy Sunshine Jewel June Blog Buggmee Playing Peek-a-Boo

Lacy Sunshine has a challenge blog and Challenge #25 is a Bingo Challenge . . . . a free image is offered if you had participated in the previous challenge using a Lacy Sunshine image. Jewel June Bug Buggmee is the that is offered and she is simply adorable and reminds me of an oriental theme. The Bingo I did on the board is: buttons (the white ones in the upper left and lower right corner which reminded me of butterflies), glitter (Stickles Glitter on her wings) and die cut (my card shape). I also have pearls in the center of my red flowers with pink rhinestones on my cut-out tree.


With all that being said, I just have to share my card . . .
  






RECIPE:
  • card was cut using DCWV Lady Couture Stack and Cricut Pagoda Cartridge set on the card page 70
  • background is from a a free download at Crafter's Companion free download for February 12 2012 Love is in the Air
  • no sentiment at this time - thinking I just may use it as a gift card
  • Jewel June Bug Buggmee was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers, Prisma Markers, Prisma Colored Pencils and gel pens
  • fussy cut her out
  • button were from my stash with shanks cut off - thought they looked like butterflies but they are actually hearts!
  • red flowers were from a dear friend, thank you Edwina Brown
  • pink rhinestones were added to the tree branches for cherry blossoms
  • pearls in the center are Queen & Co.
This "June Bug" sure looks like she has some attitude but is such a sweetie and will make a purrfect Valentine card!
