Also, use glitter pen over the letters in the words. Set the bug aside after adding the Stickles to its tail (added sparkle) to let set.  Mat words on orange card stock leaving a small boarder and set aside.   Use med medallion die and cut out in orange card stock. Adhere bug onto medallion and set aside.

I colored the Digital stamp “Monkey Love” using color pencils. Whatever you have is fine. Cut the monkey out using your scissors. Leave about 1/8 around the image. I like to color first because then you have more to hold on to when cutting. Adhere monkey to red and grey die cut piece. Use foam mounting tap to stick to card, center on heart print paper.

Tie ribbon at top. Tie silver on top of red knot. Use finger nail to  silver curl ribbon. I added stardust stickles to the roses & dots on heart.
