The Very Hungry Caterpillar using Layered Letters Alphabet Stamp set

I'm totally overwhelmed by the response my latest card design has generated. So I wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has commented and shared my card around the various photo sites! 
I thought this card really deserves its own post so here in more detail is how I made this Very Hungry Caterpillar card.

Believe it or not I didn't set out to make a caterpillar card! I was inking up and stamping the cool wonky circle from the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp as background for my "Live, Love, Craft" card and as I was overlapping the circles that is when I had that lightbulb moment. {Ding!}
I actually said  "I could make a caterpillar...wait a minute these colours match the Very Hungry Caterpillar!! Oh my!"

So here it is again, my Very Hungry Caterpillar card in the 2015-2017 In Colours.
Cucumber Crush, Mint Macaron & Watermelon Wonder with Tip Top Taupe feet and Delightful Dijon eyes!
The NEW In Colours are just a perfect match for this famous book character!
This is going to be such a popular stamp set!!


Carolina's Tip's and Techniques
I used some of the other letters and characters in the alphabet set to create the extra little pieces on my Hungry Caterpillar - the letter 'V' for the antennae, the exclamation dot '!' for the nose, and the letter 'I' for the legs - here's how...

Thank you so much once again for all your support!!
