Lovely little ladybugs
>> Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Hi everyone! Today is my turn to share some projects with you. Before I get started however, I want to wish my oldest daughter Rachel a very happy birthday! Today my baby girl is 12 years old. She is so excited because she is 12 on the 12th LOL. So that is the inspiration behind 2 of my cards today.
I have 3 cards to show you for today and I chose a ladybug theme. If you have not seen them in our catalog yet, be sure to check them out because they are absolutely adorable! The ladybug stamps I used are F578 and G695 and you can see them by searching our store website. All of my cards use the annivervsary sketches from Julee Tillman. I just love her sketches and they worked really well for the cards I am about to show you.
The first card is a birthday card in honor of Rachel...check it out:
I colored my ladybug with my prismacolor markers and then used my spica glitter pen on the black spots. I used my paper piercer to highlight the corners of the image and along the edge of my black strip. I stamped the background and used the ticket corner punch.
Supplies:
stamps- DRS designs H628, B250, F578
CS- real red, black, white from SU
accessories- striped grosgrain, brads, paper piercer, cuttlebug, spica glitter pen
My next 2 cards use the stamp stamp but in different ways. This one uses the stamp in the traditional way.
I colored my image with my prismacolor markers and used crystal effects on the black ladybug spots.
Supplies:
stamps- DRS designs G695, 070
CS- bazzill bling, black, real red SU
accessories- CM circle punches, shimmer brad, black brads, square punch CM
The last card is the one I made for our inchie challenge. I used the same stamp as in the last card but I used a black marker to color only one of the ladybugs in the stamp and stamped my image. I also used crystal effects on the ladybugs for this card. I highlighted the word red with my red marker in my sentiment stamp and used my marvy corner punch to highlight the corners and added rhinestones to them. Take a peek:
Supplies:
stamps- DRS designs G576, G695
CS- black, real red, white SU
accessories- Martha Stewart border punch, marvy corner punch, clear rhinestones, prismamarkers, crystal effects, striped grosgrain
I hope you have enjoyed my projects and have a wonderful day!
