Today is my Paper Smooches card challenge! This stamp set called “Happy Bugs” is just so fun. I picked the Firefly (lightening bug) for this card and made each one a different color.
My husband and I were traveling back East a few years ago, and we saw a bunch of fireflies one night. We each thought they were different colors: I thought they were GREEN-ish, he thought they were ORANGE-ish, and we both thought some were YELLOW. So this card is a little joke, with each firefly a different color!
Each little firefly is in it’s own little circle I punched out to reveal the fun polka-dot green background. I used Inktense pencils to give each one their own little color personality, and I painted the wings with Liquid Pearls in white opal.
Then I added a gold heat embossed sentiment and 3 different color hearts (glittered)! You may not be able to tell in these pictures, but their little “light glow” is also glittered.
A little yellow twine finishes off the top of the card. I love how this card turned out.
But can you answer me one question: What color ARE fireflies?
