Caught a Bug?

5/19/2017 Update: Winner at The Male Room Challenge #59.






Have you ever questioned yourself with, "What was I thinking when I bought this?" That's how I felt about this stamp set after receiving it. It's kind of grown on me now that I have made a Get Well card with it.
On a panel of white cardstock, the bugs and beetles were stamped in multiple steps. Some of the stamps are two-step and some are three-step. A strip of vellum was added with the stamped sentiment then it was adhered to a taupe card base.
The inside of the card was lined with white cardstock and decorated with a line of stamped ants.

I am entering this card into the following challenge:

  3. Your personalized design paper almost matches one of the CTMH Design papers, creepy crawlers and don't like beetles; but it does make a great get well card with that sentiment. Fun card.
