Cookie Challenge #113 at If You Give A Crafter A Cookie is a fun take on one of my favorite images - Ladybugs !! But I quickly realized that I didn't have any ladybug stamps at all . An Internet search came up with thousands and I finally chose a cute digi-stamp from Star Stampz on Etsy. I loved that our inspiration photo this time had purple ladybugs and continued that theme in my card ..
I am somewhat of a paper hoarder but when I was designing this card, I knew that I wanted to use my Graphic 45 "Secret Garden" Patterns & Solids paper pad. It had the perfect colors that I was looking for and once again, I mixed a few patterns !! Thesepapers are gorgeous and I;m glad that I finally took the plunge and used them for this card !!
- I printed the Spring Ladybug image on Neenah Stardust White cardstock , trimmed it and then cut a piece of Kraft cardstock as my card base .
- The image was colored with my favorite Faber-Castell PITT Artist pens .
- The stamped image was matted with 2 patterns from the Graphic 45 "Secret Garden" paper pad of Patterns & Solids.
- Several rhinestones were added for some sparkle.
- An 'It's the Little Things" wooden embellishment completed the card.
- Tombow MONO Adhesive+ Permanent Runner was used to adhere all elements.
This Challenge runs from 3-21 to 4-1 and we hope that you will link up a creation of your own. Are you partial to basic RED ladybugs or will we see some other unique colors !?!? I'm thinking I just might have to make a turquoise one next !! Take a look at all of our Design Team projects HERE .
Thanks so much for visiting Meticulosity once again !!
