Well, it was back to school this week. 2 days of in-service workshops and getting ready for the new school year to start. Our kids don't come back until next Tuesday. I've only had a little bit of time this week, so I made a simple one layer card for the OLW Challenge: Trees.
These awesome insects in disguise were under my porch roof when I walked out of my front door yesterday. How cool to see a stick bug and a leaf bug in the same place at the same time!
Cardstock: PTI Rustic Cream
Stamps: PTI First Fruits
Ink: Memento Brown
Ok, first of all I would have peed my pants had I seen either of those bugs anywhere near me. lol
ReplyDeleteAs for your card, I love it. I find it hard to make one layer cards, but this is great!!
Love this wonderful CAS card!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Keva said about the bugs. But I really liked seeing them close up and impersonal, and liked hearing what kind of bugs.....teachers know sooooo much stuff like that. My Sister just taught her last year....she's 76......and I've always thought one day in a classroom with 25 or 30 kids would be my idea of hell on earth. I ALWAYS vote for the Bonds that pay teachers more. Thank you for teaching and for sharing your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just so perfect
Love the way you used this stamp for the tree challenge. Good idea. And it is pretty funny that the stick and leaf bugs are hanging out together now! Hmmm. Maybe pretty soon you'll have "branch bugs" or "tree bugs". :) Hope your school year gets off to a fabulous start!
ReplyDeleteYou always do the best cards on OLW....... Fantastic and I hope you have a great school year!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, LOVE the walking stick and the leaf hopper! Some of my favorite insects!
ReplyDeleteWe go back Tuesday too...looking forward to it.
This card is lovely. I can do without the bugs up close, but I can enjoy your pictures.
ReplyDeleteNot much of a bug person, myself...but the photos are nice. I'm not sure I would have know they were bug..so you did good! LOL! I love the image stamped off the edge of the card...very creative!
ReplyDeleteLovely simple, clean card, love it:D xx
ReplyDeleteThe bugs look interesting (lol) ... great photos. I love your card and the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe card is simply wonderful...that's one of my favorite PTI sets ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had a leaf bug on my back door AND a praying mantis on my bay window last week. Bugs like that are so interesting. Cockroaches, however, I can do without. Ewwww.
