I finally found a method that works for me for no line water coloring! Now I'm obsessed!
Let me preface with I'm not very good at coloring, at all, not with any medium. I'm shaky by nature, not sure why, too much caffeine probably, but I decided to bust out my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. For some reason I've never tried the two {WHY?} it really does make all the difference using colored pencils.

Anyway.... The current challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics is to use you favorite Lawn Fawn, which is very hard because I love them all so much, but these happy bugs just have my heart.
I decided to do a pop up card box to let the bugs fly around. If you don't know how to make one, there are many templates and tutorials online. I used the template seen in this video for my box.
After assembling the main box, I decorated with some valentines cardstock (discontinued Authentique) and added some grass with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die. Then I went on stamping and coloring all the bugs from the Bugs & Kisses stamp set, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them either directly to the box or with strips of transparency paper. I stamped part of my sentiment onto a heart shape cut from cricut with Versa Mark and heat embossed. For my main sentiment I used my new Brother P-Touch Embellish. I saw this at Michaels and had to have it (and didn't even know it had ribbon too!) You can get them on Amazon, but if you shop Michaels get it there with your coupon, it's a bit pricy for a label maker, but has a ton more features. To attach my printed ribbon sentiment, I used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.
I can't wait to send this one out, box cards are so fun!
