This card features the image Deacon Bugs from Bugaboo Stamps. I have had this card in my head for quite a while, which was inspired by a sheet of paper I had in my stash. I actually ended up not using that paper on this card! lol! It has already been cut down several times for other projects, and the strip that was left just did not suit what I was thinking on this one. So, even though it is not on my creation today, it was a driving force for how this turned out. :)

I started by coloring Deacon in PSE, and I created my sentiment there, as well. I printed them both out and used my Silhouette for doing Print and Cut. I made the red layers for my images in Silhouette, too. The bugs were all cut in Silhouette, as well. They are something I had made up quite some time ago. They're cut quite small, so I actually opened up a new mat for cutting (my old one has finally given up the sticky), and I made sure to set my cutter to the slowest speed. When cutting such little pieces I always try to use high-quality paper. I hate it when the cutter just won't handle some papers, don't you?! Those little 'paper boogers' bug me! 

I did use a black pen for adding some details to the bug cuts. I think the lines gave the ladybug and cricket more personality. :)

So, that's it from me today, folks! I hope your Spring weather is turning sunny and dry in your area!
