I said last week that I would show you a butterfly card this week. I did make that but I also made this really cute card featuring the Brilliant Beetles and the Dainty Fuchsia Stem which I decided to share instead. (Butterflies next week!)
materials used
- BRILLIANT BEETLES 94833
- DAINTY FUCHSIA STEM 94787
- FUCHSIA PLAID PP1029
- BRILLIANT FUCHSIA PP1030
- black card stock
- WOODGRAIN PAPER PACK WHITE SH44001
- white top-fold note card A2 size
Making these beetles was so much fun that I made lots of them! I used a variety of pink and green plaid papers from Fuchsia Plaid and cut all of the beetles multiple times. I also cut a bunch of them from black card stock and then adhered the plaid heads/antennae and bodies on. I chose one of each style for this card.
I die cut the Dainty Fuchsia Stem from more of the plaid papers–green plaid for the leaves and pinks for the bud and blossom.
I covered the front of a top-fold A2 white note card with a dark printed paper from the Brilliant Fuchsia paper pad. I added a white panel cut 4 X 5 1/4 from Memory Box White Woodgrain card stock. I glued on the leafy branch using a glue pen and then added the bud and fuchsia blossom. Lastly I adhered the three beetles.
I've left enough white space to add an appropriate sentiment, probably one of the Foil Greetings Tabs. Would be a cute "heard you caught a bug" card or "Goin' buggy?" card, too.
Hope you are having fun with the newest Fuchsia Collection items!
Happy Crafting!
