Ladybug Bloom

Thanks to Faith and Designed 2 Delight (D2D) for the cute digi this week.

When I opened the digi file up I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.  I received some new copic markers last week so I figured what the heck, let's see what the colors look like.  The picture doesn't do the colors justice .  The background of the digi is a Florescent Purple with clear copic glitter streaked through it.  I colored the ladybug with the glitter copics

Catch a Bug?

Wow, I was cutting this one short this week.  The weather has finally decided to warm up and I have been working outside in the yard.  Got part of my garden in this past weekend.  And guess what I saw... "Ladybugs" 

Thanks Faith once again for the wonderful design from Designed2Delight.

I have to give credit to my daughter Gennifer for the card backing design.  She came up with the circle inside a circle design for a Christmas card she was working on and let me use the template.  This card was a joint effort by both of us.  It amazed me how something so simple became hard to do.  I had a lot of ideas but time was not on my side, so with her assistance, I was able to pull it together.

The purple strips on the front of the card are embossed using the Cuttlebug and then brushed with "Dusty Concord" Distress Ink.  The centers are filled with yellow "Stickles"  My coloring is done with Copics.  The ladybugs are raised with Darcie 3/16" foam squares.
