Our challenge over at Crafty Secrets this week is to create a card with winged things as the subject. I bought this stamp a while ago and have never gotten around to using it. I could never figure out how I wanted to colour the insects on this one. The new improved Elizabeth has challenged herself to use all her stamps, even the ones that are not all flowers! I love the way this turned out and so now I'll use this a whole lot more. The insect wings are stickled and everything is 3D.

Wow! This is a great and a cute little scene! You did very well coloring these insects, considering you weren't sure how you were going to do it! I like the 3D effect you used on this card and with the leaves! It looks as if the insects are gathered under the vines to read the daily paper!

Yay, the new improved Elizabeth certainly rose to the challenge of non-flowery stamps here! You did a great job colouring the bugs and all the layering and popping up looks fabulous!
