Got A Ladybug?

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made using a ladybug image from Bugaboo Digital Stamps.  I'm going to assume the image is now retired since I can't find it the store anymore. After importing the image into MSWord, I typed the "Got a bug" saying underneath it, then saved the combined image as a PDF.  Once I was finished printing the image, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering, adding brads and popping it up over a punched grass border. The only other embellishments I used were some prima flowers with ice stickle centers and a small punched ladybug.

Today I am sharing a card using my favorite technique - scenic stamping by combining a couple of different sets: Dragonflies and Marsh Birds.  After stamping all of the images I had decided to use in memento black and coloring using prismacolor watercolor pencils, I stippled some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink along the bottom for the marsh water.  Once that was done, I then stippled some tumbled glass along the sides and top for the sky before layering the colored panel and adding it to a green card. 

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day. We hope to inspire you to start your own Bugs and Butterflies projects.  Get to work on the tutorials, show us what you made by May 13th and 
check back on May 14, 2016 to see if you are a winner.
