I made this for LSC191, Leaf it To Me, Baby. We had to use a leaf on our card, and some pink.
It's a terrible picture, but it's late at night and I'm pretty tired after a wedding. I'll take a better picture tomorrow...
My base card is green Bazzill. The next layer is Provocraft Illuminations, with the edges sponged with dark blue. The leaves are cut with a Fiskars ShapeCutter from Core'dinations paper, crumpled and sponged. Then I added veins with Sakura Stardust pens and also sponged the edges. For the sentiment I just hand-wrote it with a blue Stardust pen. The little caterpillar is two half-inch strips of origami paper folded together into a concertina. The face is a pink circle sponged a bit, with wobble eyes and little antennae added. I punched a hole out of the leaf and stuck him in. Come to think of it, if I'd really tried I could have cut a leaf the whole way through the base card, but I think tonight I would have made a mess of it. I've added another bad photo taken of the little caterpillar close up so you can see him popping up. I've done this as a bookworm them, with scanning the cover of a book and having him eating his way through .
TFL and sorry for the dire picture.
