The Paper Girls Challenge #42~Bugs!

It's all about bugs this week at the Paper Girls Challenge blog! I love the Swallowtail background stamp from Stampin' UP! There are so many things you can do with it. This time I decided to test out the thumping technique. I inked up the stamp in Crumb Cake and then thumped my Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, and Primrose Petals markers all over. I like the result. I fussy cut around the whole thing and popped it up over Raspberry Ripple ribbon, Birds of a Feather dsp, and Midnight Muse cs. Thanks for stopping by! Enter the challenge here!
