Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing a fun childrens birthday card using ladybirds or to my followers elsewhere in the world ladybugs. I think its actually suitable for adults too.
DL cardbase. This card using alot of scraps and snippets. The squares, ladybirds and sentiment were all cut from little pieces of card inked with brushos, pixies powders and oxide inks. The flowers left over bits of white card.
I first cut a panel of white card slightly smaller than the cardfront, i embossed this with a brick wall embossing folder and lightly brushed oxide inks in tumbled glass & pistachio over the top. I added this panel to the card front.
I didnt have enough of one colour of inked card for 3 squares, so the 2 outside ones are from brusho/pixie powder card and the middle one is oxide inks. The ladybirds were cut from black card and red brusho card and layered up. The sentiment is cut from the same red brusho card. I gently shaped my white flowers and added to the circles and then my 3 ladybirds added one top.
Close up on the ladybirds. We don't get an awful lot of them here in this part of Cornwall due to the damp atmosphere so its always a little exciting to see the odd one or two in the garden.
Items Used:
Elizabeth Crafts die - 711 Ladybugs
Elizabeth crafts happy birthday die
MFT stitched square dies
Flower die
Crafters companion wall embossing folder
Oxide inks - tumbled glass, pistachio
Brushos
Pixie powders
Thank you all for stopping by, i hope you all have a good end to the week and weekend. Emmax

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Emma and would definitely work for children and adults. I love the super little ladybirds and it's such a great way to use up your snippets xx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Emma and super use of snippets as well. As said by others, this is perfect for kiddies or grown-ups - and thinking about it am sure I have some never-used ladybird (bug) dies. And loads of flower dies, as well as a ton of flat fabric/silk flowers that I almost ditched recently - great inspirations!
