I then laid the background die, cut from white card stock, over the colored background.



Dies:  Bouquet Background - Sizzix
Celebrate - Pink & Main

Stamp:  Butterfly - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Acrylic Paint - background
Twinkling H20's - on the butterfly

I used this cute mousey holding onto a dragonfly's tail for the bug theme. This stamp is in the new Spring Mini stamp set. The background for my card was made by coloring on a stencil using watercolor crayons. I spritzed the stencil with water and placed the stencil onto watercolor paper to make the print. The image was colored and fussy cut. Stickles glitter was used on the dragonfly's wings.
