Glitter Bugs by Jean Okimoto

A trio of the new Brilliant Beetles adds an unexpected look to a summer thank you design from our 2024 Fuchsia Collection. Hi, Jean here with some glitzy beetles - and some inspiration for July's "Anything Bugging You?" Challenge. Challenge entries must be submitted by the end of the day (EST) on July 30th.

Cut Brilliant Beetles from Black Glossy Paper (cardstock) and assemble them. Cut the decorative detailed pieces from the copper Rainbow Reflections 6x6 and Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6. Attach them to the glossy black beetles.

Three Circle Basics dies are used here - 3-½", 3" and 2-½". Cut the 3-½" floral circle from the Brilliant Fuchsia 6x6. Cut violet cardstock with the 3" die. Cut the light green 6x6 from the Greenery Solid Core Collection with the 2-½" die.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for the glittered beetles.

Add a Thank You Foil Greetings Black Tab to match the beetles.

The overlapping circles create a basic template that can be rotated for 4 different looks - both vertical and horizontal. Smaller circles can be layered onto an A2 card.

Thanks for visiting!
