Little Lady

Hey Bleeps (blog peeps)!

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We did and actually will also have another one in mid January four hours away to see family, lol. It was postponed due to my little brother’s baby girls arrival, can’t wait to meet her. ❤

Today’s card is for the Color Challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the color combo they gave us.

Here’s what I came up with:

I used the adorable stamp set from Stampin’ Up! It’s called Little Ladybug, it will be available on January 3rd in the Sale-A-Bration mini catty. You can earn it for FREE, that’s my favorite word, lol 😉

Here’s a close-up:

There’s a lot of fussy cutting and coloring going on here, but sometimes you just gotta do it. I used my Wink of Stella to give it the sparkle as the dessert option said “Winter or New Years Sparkle”. Since I don’t own anything new years, I just did the sparkle on the dots on all the wings….then all over splattering, and finally added the red sequins too.

Here’s another view:

I did a color wash on the Basic Gray cardstock with an aqua painter and ink. I also used my Stampin’ Write Markers and Blender Pens to color in each of the lady bugs. For the flower, I stamped it on watercolor paper and did a simple watercolor, but didn’t add a lot of ink to it….

And yes, I did fussy cut the sentiment too…..adding it onto a vellum banner, it just didn’t look right trying different ways to add it.

Well, that’s all for today. I hope you like my card. It’s my last color challenge as a Guest Designer for SplitCoast Stampers Color Challenge. I’ve had a lot of fun plus it kept me crafting as sometimes I get a little lazy about it, lol 😉

Have a very blessed New Year, 2020 is gonna be great I can just feel it!!!!! ❤
