I started out stamping the bug wreath on white paper and coloring it but there were too many teeny areas and I was having fits trying to get it right so I made an alcohol ink background on glossy paper instead. The nestie circle cut off some of the bug and I didn't want to try to cut a perfect circle by hand.

Oh I just love this card!! I've been wanting this stamp for a long time, but wasn't sure how I use it, especially since there are SOOOO many bugs to color! I think you came up with a really creative way to add color to the bugs without driving yourself nuts! Kudos to you!
