Isn't it fun sometimes just to bug someone?!
I've made a card just for that purpose........kind of.
I was sent a digital image by Hambo Stamps (for FREE) called "Mosquito". I received the image just for playing along in their weekly challenge at Hambo Hoedown.
I decided one mosquito was just not enough to really bug anyone, so....
I turned the single mosquito into a swarm! Yuck!!!
That crazy background is 'Acrylic Embossing' that I learned of through the Technique Junkie Newsletter. All I can tell you is that it uses acrylic paint, an embossing folder and ink. After embossing and inking and more inking, I finished with Stazon White ink which I think perked it right up!
Yes, I KNOW that brad is a dragonfly, not a mosquito. It IS a bug for heaven's sake. And that is going to have to be good enough. I don't think anyone makes mosquito brads.
Here is the list of challenges entered:
Hambo Hoedown - use image with a monochromatic theme
2 Sisters - anything goes
Phindy's Place - doubling up
Stamp Something - something embellished
Crafty Creations - seeing double
The Stamping Boutique - cool colors

CES - humor, funny

The Crafty Pad - embossing
Paper Playtime - summer (nothing says summer like mosquitoes!)
Simon Says Stamp & Show - anything goes
Clear it Out - anything goes
The Cheerful Stamp Pad - going around in circles
Thanks for stopping by!
