Anyway, the hubs took Ryan out for ice cream last night and I got some extra time in my craft room as a result. I made two cards and got a lot of work done on a scrapbook layout yesterday, and then it took me forever to get to sleep because my brain was bubbling over with ideas for more paper crafts. So here's the first card I made:
My niece Clara turns 4 next month, and when she was born her room was all done in ladybugs so I just HAD to get this Little Ladybug stamp set! It's so cute. I'm also thrilled to have the Stitched So Sweetly dies, I'm going to get a lot of use out of those. I did not get the ladybug dies so I just fussy cut this one.
I started with the Sunday Stamps sketch:
The ladybug is standing in for the circular element, and I did put it in front of the rectangle because that just worked better for my card. I used the colors from the Paper Players:
I used the dark Calypso Coral Blend to color the ladybug's wings, and some weird trick of the light (I did take my photo last night after 9 o'clock, so no natural light) makes it look more red instead of coral. Promise it's coral!
The ladybug stamp set was perfect for this week's Global Design Project theme challenge:
This will be Clara's birthday card in a few weeks; I've already got a couple of things waiting to be packed up and sent to her. Here's the inside of the card:
Oh yeah, loving those new dies! I was so happy to get back in my craft room yesterday after not feeling well for a few days, and I was really happy with everything I made yesterday too, so that was pretty awesome :) Hope you have a great day, peeps!
