Smile - Insect Party!

 With an atmospheric river downpour occurring outside, and my Magnolia tree blooming for the 3rd time this year (seriously, why?), I think it's time to start welcoming Spring! Sorry if you're one of those folks living in a snowy climate... I did that for a decade and feel for you :)

I'm very fortunate that our neighborhood also has daffodils out! This card just had to happen. I used the beautiful new Hero Arts February 2025 Fancy Dies to mainly build this card. Unfortunately, the Fancy Dies have already sold out. So let this be your sign to SUBSCRIBE so you never miss out on a future release!!!

For the background, I stamped a simple but versatile Rain Texture Bold Print in Dandelion Ink.


Are you as obsessed with those little insects as I am? I made 8 of each little buggie so you'll certainly see them in a card again. Those insect dies are a special bonus for those who subscribe to The Whole Studio! I wouldn't pass up the opportunity. By the way, that beautiful "smile" sentiment is part of the main February 2025 Card Kit.


The grass die is from a previous Spring release, called Butterfly Foliage Fancy Dies. It was a perfect match for all of the beautiful daffodil and hyacinth flowers (and insects, obviously).


My favorite adjustment I made to the winged insects is the vellum addition. So I cut the wings of the bee and the dragonfly in the colored cardstock I wanted, but then also cut them in vellum. The vellum was only glued on in the center so the wings to pop out. I then added Wink of Stella glitter to the wings for extra shimmer.... and Wink of Stella to the ladybug shells because, why not?
