I don't know about your garden, but it seems the bugs are out in full force this summer in my garden. One day this week while I was out checking on my tomato bush tree (affectionately named by my neighbor Allison :)) I spotted several varieties of bugs that I had not spied before. In the interests of color inspiration, take a peek at these!!!!!
This bug matches my flower perfectly! It also matches the new In-Color, Calypso Coral, coming in the new Idea Book and Catalog 2011-2012, launching July 1st. If you are interested in getting your hands on one of the new catalogs, let me know. I give them free to club members and hostesses. Or you can purchase one for $5. Since it is loaded with ideas, you will treasure it as a great resource for your crafty endeavors! Contact me if you would like to know more!
This is my first ladybug citing in my backyard. I attempted to photograph her on a plant, but she was so fast and so busy I could not get a good shot! She took a break on the wicker settee and I took that as my cue to snap this shot! This is the lovely combination of Soft Suede and probably Poppy Parade!!!! Give it a try on a card!
Last one~
LOVE the rich colors in this coleus.....the bug not so much! But he could represent Crumb Cake cardstock as your base with some Melon Mambo or Rich Razzleberry mixed with Garden Green. Striking combo don't you think?
Happy crafting! See you next week, with some more inspiration.
