1

Ink up and stamp the chosen area of the stamp on a 4½” square of cardstock then dry the ink using a heat tool.

2

Press the Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink onto acetate, spritz with water and then press onto the stamped background, moving the ink with your fingers. Repeat this process to add a light covering of colour then allow the ink to dry naturally.

Secure a length of soft silver wire around the stamped background.

4

Stamp the ladybug again on white cardstock, cut out the body only and blend Candied Apple Distress Ink over it. Cut up the centre.

Press the VersaMark inkpad all over it, cover with clear embossing powder and heat to set. Repeat twice more for a triple heat-embossed glaze.

6

Repeat step 4 with the numbers and add to the panel. Stamp the word BUG onto white cardstock, cut out and edge with coloured ink then adhere to the decorative panel.

7

Matt onto cardstock coloured with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink. Affix to the card front.
