Love Bug

Photo Details

Poster: ssummerer

I made 100 of these for a swap my group does. Then I made 12 more for another swap. You'd think I'd be sick of this card by now, but I'm not.

Edges burnished with a bone folder. A mortise mask was used inside the bug. Ribbons are stapled on.

This is absolutely DARLING! Very clever idea. How do you do a mortise mask?
