Bugs Out of the Box!

Yippee!  I get my computer back today---no more looking at goofy colors on DH's monitor!  I hope this card looks better on YOUR screen than mine!

Today's SCS challenge F4A8 was "Out of the Box"--to use the tutorial described so that your image pops out around the edge of a diecut!  Fun technique and one I have been wanting to try for a while.  Since today is busy, I chose to make a couple more CAS cards for my birthday stash:

It took me a couple tries to get the technique quite right!  But for the first attempt, I was pretty happy with how they came out!  The image and sentiment is from SU's Bugs & Kisses, paper is CC Garden Variety (love it!).  Ribbon is some retired SU.  To get the snail just the color I wanted, I inked him up first in Summer Sun, then inked again in Kiwi Kiss.....a combo!  I hope these make someone smile.   TFL today!
