Beetle Card

 Afternoon everyone, today I have a card for you showcasing my Beetle Border Stamp #335, combined with my A7 Splattered Numbers Stamp #350 and my older Border Stamp #34.

I love the colours on this piece, the turquoise/blues work so well with touches of white.

From this picture you can see all the layers that I created on my circular Gel Plate.

I love the pops of black to bring the piece to life.

The circular frame acts as a spotlight for the focal image of the beetle.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
