Caught a bug...
I just love this Picnic stamp set from the PB & J Collection by Basic Grey/Hero Arts--the images are just fun and happy! I didn't have a sentiment that said what I wanted, so I just used my Prima Press Alphabet--the font size is ideal for spelling out your own greetings.
The jar and bug were stamped on a scrap of smooth bristol and then watercolored and trimmed out. Hand-drew the little flight trail (OK, someone once told me they were actually butterfly farts), and made the wings sparkle with a bit of Crystal Stickles.
Have a great weekend! School's *almost* out here--can't wait for summer!

Cute card!!! Love it!!! (love the butterfly story...never heard that before. Lol!) Summer has already begun here for us. My kids last day of school was May 31st! (because we didn't have any snow days this year to make up) And we went on vacation to Disney World on June 2nd. I'm wishing we were still there.
