Lisa is this week's WTUI hostess, her fun challenge is Bug's Life. I love these Crafty Secret stamps, they remind me of illustrations from an old children's book.
I used the Vintage Watercolor technique for these cute bugs. I stamped them in Tea Dye, then added additional tones with a waterbrush, brown marker and Distress inks. Sponged ink around the edges of the image panel and pp strips. Layered the papers and added a wood hello and typewriter. I added a strip of newspaper ribbon to the typewriter as the finishing touch.

They do indeed look like very old sepia illustrations. What a fun image, and wonderful in brown.

Love the vintage sepia tone of the card . .cute image and sentiment ( so sad that newspapers are almost extinct - a lot of the younger generation have never even seen one . . .)
