The set is filled with cute little images that would make anyone smile and has some fun little sentiments too. And it is also found in a Suite of products, Cute as a Bug Suite (167007) so it has tons of coordinating products you can use to create.

Today’s card uses this fun little parade of bugs to create it’s focal point to spread some joy.

The parade has been colored using our Old Olive, Real Red and Daffodil Delight Classic Inks and Blender Pens (102845) to give them a soft watercolor look. And it has been mounted on the card front that highlights the colorful Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper (166994). And finally Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (167005) has been used, a few clear dots one of the cute little ladybugs add a bit of shine.

Have you used Blender Pens? If not they are easy to use and add value to your Classic Ink Pads. Using them is simple – simply press a bit of ink onto the lid of the pad, or Clear Block and lift it with the Blender Pen and start coloring. The amount of ink on the tip will a variety of shades for that color. And as you use the ink the color will soften giving you this fun watercolor look and shades of the same ink. Practice a bit on your Grid Paper to see what you like. I think once you try this simple technique you’ll enjoy coloring small images like this.
