After coloring & punching image, I sponged edges w/ blue lagoon. Stamped VM all over, spooned on UTEE & hit w/ heat gun. While still hot, I re-spooned UTEE & melted again. Did this 4x total, using VM only the 1st time. I had hard time w/ image curling. I kept gently curling back til it finally stayed flat - cooling didn't help. At 1 point, several cracks popped across the face. I hit w/ heat gun again & it melted & smoothed right out w/ no trace. This works for fingerprints too. ;) The sentiment IRL is the same color as the bow knot and the darker red of the dog.

Thank you so much!
Yes, retired 2004. I bought that set here on SCS through the B-S-T forum, umm, about a yr ago. Had to have it, I've 3 grandboys! This card was for my son tho. Great memories of his childhood. ;)

May God bless, Sandi

As the mother on an only son, this fabulous image sure takes me back to some happy days!! Now I have 2 granddaughters but they love collecting bugs every bit as much as their father did!!
Love that you have embossed the entire scalloped tag!! Your card is wonderful!
