Hey There June Bug!!



This is my ATC for the June Swap at Life on the {scrap} beach, hosted by Hope. The theme for this month is "Hey There, June Bug!" This was the first time that I used my Cricut for an ATC - the mushroom came from the "Paisley" cartridge. I altered it with paint, ink, & stickles. (of course, I can't ever leave well enough alone)
The bugs I found at GASC a few weeks back, are rub-ons that are a little too realistic, the dragonfly is more to my liking. I used the new Tim Holtz Ideaology Paper Tape, it is paper however, my stickers were resisting sticking to the slippery surface of the tape, to fix this I glued them down with glossy accents and covered over the entire tape section with matte finish Mod Podge. Used a bee and fly stamp. The bee wings are covered with Frosted Lace Stickles.
Thank you to Hope Simpson as well as the rest of the girls who played along this month, I had lots of fun, I'm hoping you did too!!
I appreciate you stopping by, wishing you and yours a healthy, happy weekend - after all it is TGIF!!
