Love Bugs

The fireflies and jar in the Hero Arts’ Picnic set reminded me of the first time I ever saw fireflies when I was on summer holidays in New York years ago - I thought they were fascinating and so cool!

Love Bugs
Stamps (Hero Arts) – Picnic & Small Variety Alphabet

I stamped the jar and fireflies and as I wanted to make a mini jar card, enlarged the image on a photocopier. Then I adhered the image to a piece of folded card and cut through the layers to form the front and back of the card. After a little bit of colouring, I added some stickles and punched hearts. The sentiment was stamped on a punched tag.

I'm submitting this card into Stamp It! Cards Love Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World , the current Hero Arts Challenge, and Paper Crafts' July Gallery Challenge.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

    So sweet! Cute to have those fireflies in love. We were camping last week and my girls had so much fun capturing (and releasing) them.

    Oh Heather, this is just too cute & just perfect for the summer challenge. I agree with Lin about this being a winner! I haven't seen fireflies in years, probably b/c I'm tucked away in the house by the time it's dark.

    What a fun shaped card, Heather - filled with lots of memories of my childhood in the eastern US where fireflies fly! Love the sparkle you added to this great design, too.
