I recently visited the Imagine That Digistamp shop and somehow the digi set of little Ladybugs got themselves into my cart in addition to the other items and so I just had to color up one of them. I love this little one with the daisy.
I did not want to add much more to my card to overpower the sweet image and so kept it simple with a embossed background and a simple sentiment die cut out of black cardstock and then coated with Wink of Stella. The panel was then glued to a white top-folding notecard.

This is a super cute digi, Monica, and I'm always amazed at how you can cut it out so perfectly on your Silhouette. I know how to do it in theory, and have actually accomplished it on my Cricut with your instructions, but I'm just not patient enough to make a habit of it. Your pencil coloring is always so perfect. And thank you so much for the darling Christmas card you sent me! It's absolutely beautiful. I love the image and your designs are always lovely. I plan to return the favor soon after all the Christmas hubbub settles down. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas in your new surroundings. Will you be there long? xo Nancy

ReplyDeleteI can see how that lady bug "flew" into your cart, Monica - so sweet and beautifully done in your prismacolors! Gorgeously done with a "spotted" embossed background. I loved traveling with you this year in your creative journey, and look forward to keeping you company in 2019, too! hugs, de

I love this card. Your coloring is spectacular. I haven't mailed your card yet. I had it in my purse ready to go and injured my spine again. I will be gettingf an MRI hopefully next week. I already know of two fractures and am afraid I have a third. The pain has been unbearable. Thank you so much for your card. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMonica this card is so cute, love that little ladybug, coloured to perfection. I hope you have had a great Christmas and just wanted to thank you for dropping in and commenting on my cards all the time. It is so appreciated, all the best xx Aileen
